Have your read the TOR yet? | |

| Oct 11, 2015 at 14:26 | comment | added | NamSandStorm | So you want to use a single frame of a video in YouTube for a purpose other than linking back to the video? | |

| Oct 11, 2015 at 14:04 | comment | added | marcanuy | Sort of, Youtube automatically generates three or four thumbnails for each video, I would like to use one of those images in my website as the thumbnail of the page that contains the embedded video in my website. I understand that Youtube encourages that other websites embed their videos, but what about using those thumbnails (or even screenshots of a video) in a website outside Youtube? | |
| Oct 11, 2015 at 13:58 | comment | added | NamSandStorm | YouTube allows you to share and embed videos. This is done via the share link at the bottom of each video. So that implies that sharing videos and embedding them is not an issue. They always are embedded with a thumbnail. If I understand you correctly, you wish another site to share the embedded pages or compile lists of videos, and maybe even edit or change the thumbnails? | |
