# Video thumbnail OG image template

Bold uppercase title over a photo, a highlighted second line, channel and duration — YouTube style.

- Slug: `video-thumbnail`
- Preview (real render): https://shareglint.com/img/templates/video-thumbnail.jpg
- Page: https://shareglint.com/en/templates/video-thumbnail

The look people already click on: a dark gradient over the frame, a huge title with a second line on a coloured band, the channel at the bottom and the duration in the corner. Use it for video pages, course trailers and social clips.

## Fields

Every field is optional. Long text shrinks to fit instead of overflowing; an image field takes a public URL that we fetch on our side.

| Field | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| `title` | text | First line of the title. (default: Video title) | I hiked the Alps |
| `highlight` | text | Second line on a coloured band. | in 3 days |
| `badge` | text | Label in the top corner, e.g. NEW. | NEW |
| `channel` | text | Channel or creator name. | Trail Notes |
| `duration` | text | Running time, e.g. 48 min. | 14:27 |
| `image` | image URL | Background photo. | https://example.com/images/mountains.jpg |
| `avatar` | image URL | Channel avatar. | https://example.com/images/avatar-man2.jpg |
| `accent` | colour | Brand colour as hex, e.g. #6366f1. Drives buttons, highlights and the background glow. (default: #facc15) | #facc15 |
| `theme` | dark | light | Colour scheme: dark or light. | — |

## Make it yours

accent and theme change per request. For anything more, copy the template into your account: you get an ordinary HTML template with the same fields that you can edit in the dashboard or through the API. If the slug is free on your account, the copy takes it — your integrations switch to your version without changing a line.

```bash
curl -X POST "https://shareglint.com/v1/templates/library/video-thumbnail/copy" -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_YOUR_KEY"
```
