How do you change the preview image (thumbnail) of a .mov video file in the Downloads folder?
I'm trying to submit a video but the thumbnail is very unflattering.

You can't directly change a video's thumbnail in File explorer, but you can easily set an new one by re-exporting the video using Microsoft Climpchamp.
You can create a new version of the video where the very first frame is the image you want as the thumbnail.
