> Hi @Manikandan_R, I believe that you don’t return a thumbnail because in your URL you have shorts! If you add this URL on a video component you will not see the video too. But you can format the URL with a template column and add that Template column on the YouTube Thumbnail column! Check here : [Support for YouTube Shorts in the Video component - #2 by Dilon\_Perera](https://community.glideapps.com/t/support-for-youtube-shorts-in-the-video-component/41389/2) Also made a video : [YouTube Video Thumbnail.mp4 - Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cADrhI4GrXEhAjYlm6U6TGlkKdF73QHh/view?usp=sharing) Hope this helps! Thank you
