Description
The GKS video thumbnail looks like a static image, not a video. This is a limitation of Markdown. There are workarounds (thank you, ChatGPT)
2. Overlay a play arrow in the thumbnail image (best practice)
The most reliable and clear approach is to bake the play icon into the image itself.
[](https://example.com/video)
Why this is best:
Works in GitHub, GitLab, README files, docs, static sites
No Markdown extensions required
Instantly recognizable as a video
💡 Many people simply export a YouTube-style thumbnail with a ▶ overlay.
