Abstract

A computer system collects user activity data for an online media item. The user activity data includes data for users that are consuming the online media item. The computer system identifies one or more criteria that are associated with the user activity data to use to identify one or more images in the online media item for a thumbnail for the online media item and selects one or more images in the online media item, based on the user activity data, that satisfy the one or more criteria. The computer system recommends the one or more images as the thumbnail for the online media item.
