Creating an Image for a Scheduled Live Broadcast

What size and shape should the Facebook or YouTube thumbnail image be?

Updated over a year ago

When scheduling a live broadcast on Facebook, YouTube, or LinkedIn, a preview image can be provided. On Facebook and Linked In, this will be used for the Live Event image. On YouTube, this will be displayed as a video thumbnail on the watch page.

Image Size and Shape

When creating an image, use a 16x9 shape.  For example:

  • 1280 pixels wide by 720 pixels high

  • 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high

Other shapes will be cropped to fit.
