There’s a couple of ways you can add a poster image to the video. Firstly you’ll need the URL of the image you want to add.
If you’ve uploaded the video into WordPress, and using an id in the shortcode (e.g. [video id=123]
), you can set the image under “Poster Image URL” (see: screenshot).
Otherwise you can set the image in the shortcode by adding the poster
parameter, for example: [video src="https://url/to/your/video.mp4" poster="https://url/to/your/poster.jpg"]
.
