Front-end utility to generate a video placeholder image, especially useful for embedding in HTML email.
Paste in a YouTube or Vimeo URL, set options (or use defaults), then copy the resulting URL to use in your email campaigns.
Note: It is recommended to build your own instance of this utility, as well set up the server-side installation to host your own thumbnails. Perpetual hosting on the default api.missionmike.dev domain is NOT guaranteed!
Customizable options include:
- Thumbnail Width
- Play Button Image (from URL)
- Play Button Width
- Play Button Opacity
More to come!
