How to view the avatar image of the video on Facebook

To know where is the thumbnail of any video on Youtube, we just need to search for the name of the clip, and look at the thumbnail next to, or above the name of the video that appears, it is a small avatar image, a thumbnail. As the illustration below shows, all the small images on the left are thumbnails, and when downloaded, we will download the images themselves.

Or if you're watching any clip, then the artwork for the related video, the next video, is the thumbnail we need.

How to find the ID of the video on Youtube

To get the Youtube thumbnail image, one thing is indispensable, that is the ID of the video we need to get the image. You can easily identify and obtain this ID by looking at the links, the part after the equal sign (=) of each link, which is the ID of the video.

For example:

The ID in the links on Youtube is the part in bold, red:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= 39a4Tz-V-jo
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= Rv0zpKJIGg8
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= 1SM-jIkT-cE

In short, all the characters from "v =" onwards are the ID of the YouTube video.
