How to Edit Facebook Video Thumbnails | Change Thumbnail of Facebook Video

 
how-to-edit-change-facebook-video-thumbnail.jpg

When you upload a video to Facebook, after processing, a notification tells you that it is ready to view and says you can also change the video thumbnail. If you take notice of this straight away, you can edit the thumbnail in a pop-up window. If however, you want to edit the thumbnail after that point, the process isn't so obvious. Let's take a look... 

1. Your video will look like this on your Facebook Page or Timeline. Click on it to open it up in the full viewer.

2. In the pop-up window, click Options at the bottom, and choose Edit This Video.

3. On the page that opens, select a thumbnail by clicking the left and right arrows underneath. You can't upload a custom image, but you can choose the best option from those available. Click Save to finish.

How to See Which Facebook Pages Have Liked Your Business Page

how-to-tell-see-which-pages-have-liked-your-business-page.jpg

Do you want to find out which other businesses have liked your Facebook Page? Discovering this is a good way to check out if the competition is keeping tabs on you, and often provides a good list of related company's that you might want to reach out to in order to join forces with to work together in some capacity. It's really easy to do, so let's take a look:

1. Open up the Admin Panel on your Facebook Page, and look for the "See Likes" link below the list of your most recent posts. Click it. 

Note: Sometimes the "Get More Likes" box doesn't show up for pages that have a huge number of likes, so go to this URL instead and replace the "PAGE_ID_HERE" with your own page's ID: https://www.facebook.com/browse/page_fans/?page_id=PAGE_ID_HERE (Thanks, Avtar Ram Singh!)
