When updating a video, under Advanded settings > Video thumbnail PeerTube nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqlf3uxxl7y93w5zrn0gxtslhp84x79s36gup29m4vrv42dwnsqm2suvkz02 (nprofile…kz02) now lets you select a specific frame as the thumbnail directly from the video player.
A really handy interface not even YouTube has. The feature was likely released at least a few months ago but I only just noticed.
To improve metadata — and just for fun — I revised the thumbnails of all my videos.
