Not random. There is a minimal image size for a full width image.
the official size is 1200x627. but the mininmum size is 484x282 I think.always pass your link here to be sure, that's what I do.

Ill reword. When you are sharing a youtube video on linked in, linked in auto-selects a thumbnail for you. How exactly is that thumbnail chosen? Seems random but Im not sure if it actually is.

Im sure you guys have seen it where you can click share on linked in for example, and youll see a little thumbnail image selector, and there will be couple options or so of thumbnails to select.
But Ive noticed that when you try to share the same page on other sites, sometimes there will be different image options, or the same images but showing up in a different order.
Anyone have any idea what might cause that, or how these sites select those thumbnail images?
