Game Thumbnails and Videos
Game Thumbnails and Videos
A game thumbnail can be used to promote a game, showcase game features, or even announce updates. Roblox provides an in-Studio thumbnail system that can be customized to suit the needs of any game.

Uploading Thumbnails
Custom game thumbnails can be uploaded directly from Roblox Studio as follows:
- Click the Game Settings button from the Home tab in Studio.

- In the Basic Info section of the popup window, scroll down to Screenshots & Videos.
- Click an empty slot, indicated by the dotted rectangle.

- Select a valid file from your computer and proceed through the upload process.
Linked Videos
Video thumbnails can also be used on a game’s page for mobile and computer users (Roblox on Xbox does not currently support video thumbnails). To use a video for a game thumbnail:
- Visit the Create page.
- Configure the place, click the Thumbnails tab, and select Video.
- Enter the YouTube URL of the video and click Add Video. Once the video has been reviewed by moderation, it will be available for use as a thumbnail.
Free Camera Mode
When capturing in-game screenshots or videos, it may be helpful to enable Free Camera mode. This lets you move the camera around the game world and capture specific views/angles that aren’t otherwise possible.
To enable the free camera from any game where you have server-side developer console access, press Left Shift+P.
Once in free camera mode, use W A S D or U H J K to move the camera around, along with Q / E or Y / I to move down/up. Hold Shift to change the camera movement speed and use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in or out.
Ordering / Deleting
If multiple thumbnails are uploaded, the player-facing game detail page will cycle through them automatically. You can change the order of this cycle by simply dragging a thumbnail into the desired position in the Game Settings window of Studio.
To delete a thumbnail, hover your mouse over the preview icon and click the “trash” button in the lower-right. Once you confirm the action, the thumbnail will be removed from the queue.
