We at WMDE have a cooperation where this topic comes up regularly.
We would really aprreciate if the thumbnail could be chosen or added by the uploader.
We have a whole series of high-quality videos donated / provided under CC BY and we want to make them shine

seems to be working now.

+1. this would help a lot to convince partners to directly contribute video files to the commons.

Thanks guys!

Dear all,

The file "presidential election" can now be tracked
https://tools.wmflabs.org/mediaviews/?project=commons.wikimedia.org&platform=&referer=all-referers&start=2020-02-04&end=2020-02-27&files=Pr%C3%A4sidentschaftswahl_in_den_Vereinigten_Staaten.ogv

I love you guys! Thanks a lot!

Nice! Great job!

this might just solve a problem we're having over here in DE. There's great content providers hesitating to contribute to wikimedia commons for they cannot implement reporting.
