You need to manually set the featured image and the video is a pop-up only. So if you are looking for a feature that lets you set the video thumbnail as the featured image or set the video itself in place of the featured image (where the video can play right there in the post preview, this one isn’t it. I hope PostX enhances this feature so it does what a couple other plug ins do.

“Thank you for reaching out. To set a YouTube video thumbnail as the featured image, you’ll need to do this manually by uploading the thumbnail image as the featured image. Currently, PostX doesn’t automatically set the video thumbnail as the featured image.

If you have further questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Can the Youtube video thumbnail be set as the featured image? Or does the featured image need to be an actual image and then the video pops up when you click the “play” icon?
