Thumbnail Feature

Open mahmedmushtaq opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

It is a great library but the thumbnail feature is missing in this library. Can anyone update me when this feature will add to the library?

Hi @mahmedmushtaq, can you please clarify what you mean by the thumbnail feature? What experience are you trying to build?

Thanks for the feedback!

Sure @maxstoller, I want to show a thumbnail on the video. And when the user clicks on it then I want to play the video. Thumbnails can be autogenerated ( my need ) or we can pass the image URL.

Thanks for clarifying. It sounds like this could be built in your application outside of the library.

If you enable recording, IVS will automatically generate thumbnails and store them in S3. You can then show them on top of the player as needed. Would that work for you?

@maxstoller thanks for sharing your approach but this will not be best for my scenario.

Got it. We don’t have any immediate plans to add a thumbnail feature, but I will leave this issue open as a feature request so other people can +1 it. Thanks again for your feedback.
