Thumbnails affect click-through rate. Auto-generation: extract frames at intervals, score for quality (sharpness, faces, action). ML models predict engaging thumbnails.
Storage: generate multiple sizes (p, p, p) for different contexts. WebP format for smaller size. CDN serves thumbnails heavily cached. Lazy generation for long-tail videos.
