Understanding Video Thumbnails in SMS Messages

Follow these guidelines to manage video thumbnail previews in SMS messages:

  1. Mobile Device Sending:

    • If the recipient has never responded: The video link will not display a thumbnail preview.

    • If the recipient has previously responded: Sending the video URL will automatically generate a clickable preview.

  2. Web-Based SMS Tools:

    • Tools like Twilio or Google Voice: They do not automatically generate a video preview from the link.

  3. Using Dubb:

    • For automatic previews: Dubb allows you to include a video preview directly.

    • For other tools: Some tools support adding a preview image or attachment manually.

  4. Need Help?:

Why: Understanding these options ensures your video content is engaging and trackable across various platforms.
