Instagram: How to choose cover image for a video

Instagram users can choose a cover image for their videos. The feature is available for iPhone (iOS) and Android-based smartphones and is ideal for getting people's attention to some video highlights. When processing the recording, Instagram itself selects some scenes and suggests using one as a thumbnail. After choosing the image, it will appear in the feed before playback of the scenes.
