  When I upload videos, WordPress chooses the still image that’s going to appear on the page before users click to watch. Sometimes these images are not relevant and I would like to be able to choose which photo will appear in the window before users click to watch. Anyone knows how to do that?

  Sorry, you can’t choose the image.

  Noobie, having the same issue, what are the alternatives? Will another video host allow me to choose a still?

  If you upload your video to YouTube you can choose what image appears.
