It tells them what the event is about, shows your brand, and keeps them on the page while they wait. It also makes your event look planned and professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what these settings do for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>They set the topic.<\/strong> Add a hint about what is coming, like the guest, the match, or the theme.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>They show your brand.<\/strong> Put your logo right on the image.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>They answer &#8220;when does it start?&#8221;<\/strong> A pre-roll message and a countdown tell viewers when to expect you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>They give viewers somewhere to go.<\/strong> Related events point people to more of your content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Set_a_Thumbnail_for_Your_YoloCast_Event\"><\/span>How Do You Set a Thumbnail for Your YoloCast Event?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To set a thumbnail, create a live event on the YoloCast home page. Then add your image on the event details page. After that, open Appearance Settings to add a pre-roll message, a countdown timer, and related events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the full process, step by step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Create a live event on the home page.<\/strong> Click Create Live Event to start.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add a thumbnail image on the details page.<\/strong> The image can include useful information. For example, you can add a hint about the event theme, or your logo. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create the event.<\/strong> Finish the other details, then click Create.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open Appearance Settings.<\/strong> On the event details page, click the icon below the preview box.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose your settings.<\/strong> Appearance Settings has three options for a thumbnail:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Show Pre-roll Message:<\/strong> Add a message for your viewers. For example, write &#8220;The Event Is About To Start.&#8221; You can also write anything else you want viewers to know.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Countdown Timer:<\/strong> Show a countdown on top of the player. This lets viewers know when you will be going live.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Show Related Event:<\/strong> Turn this on to show a related event to your viewers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/thumbnails-1024x541.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/thumbnails-1024x541.png 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/thumbnails-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/thumbnails-150x79.png 150w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/thumbnails-768x406.png 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/thumbnails-1536x812.png 1536w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/thumbnails-1920x1015.png 1920w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/thumbnails-1170x618.png 1170w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/thumbnails-585x309.png 585w, https:\/\/wordpress.yololiv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/thumbnails.png 2028w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Set_a_Trailer_for_Your_YoloCast_Event\"><\/span>How Do You Set a Trailer for Your YoloCast Event?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To set a trailer, create a live event on the YoloCast home page. Then add your trailer video on the event details page. After that, open Appearance Settings to add a pre-roll message and related events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the full process, step by step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Create a live event on the home page.<\/strong> Click Create Live Event to start.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add a trailer video on the details page.<\/strong> Upload the video you want viewers to see.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create the event.<\/strong> Finish the other details, then click Create.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Open Appearance Settings.<\/strong> On the event details page, click the icon below the preview box.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose your settings.<\/strong> Appearance Settings has two options for a trailer:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Show Pre-roll Message:<\/strong> Add a message for your viewers.

It is quick to make, and it gives you a countdown timer too. However, use a trailer to tease a big event with video, like a concert, a launch, or a tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><\/th><th>Thumbnail<\/th><th>Trailer<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>What it is<\/td><td>A still image<\/td><td>A short video<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pre-roll message<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Countdown timer<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>No<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Related events<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ready_to_Set_Up_Your_Next_Event\"><\/span>Ready to Set Up Your Next Event?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, a thumbnail or trailer takes only a few minutes to add. First, create your event and add your image or video. Next, open Appearance Settings and add your message. Then turn on the countdown or related events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to use trailers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yololiv.com\/compare-plans\">compare YoloCast plans<\/a> to find the one that fits you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"23697\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;249&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;112&nbsp;views today<\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picture a viewer who clicks your event link five minutes early.
