Changing video pre-roll / thumbnail image using eStream

This support page describes how to change the thumbnail image, also know as the pre-roll, which is presented by the video before it is played.

Sometimes the pre-roll image that is displayed to viewers prior to the start of the video can be less than useful.

For example:

You can change the pre-roll image to either a different frame from the video, or you can upload a graphic to appear instead.
