I use thumbnail url when posting video links because well, otherwise it doesn’t show a thumbnail for the video. You can copy the image from the YouTube thumbnail, upload it as a hexbear image, and use that url
Do they really need thumbnails? It's just going to be the first screen of the video anyway. I tried uploading a separate thumbnail once and clicking on the link from the front page took you to the fullsize .jpg instead of the video link.
