Add a featured image to Youtube to blog post articles

Feature Request

When posting YouTube articles to Wordpress, the Post doesn't contain a Featured Image. I feel like this should be an option. Some WP themes use the featured image in blog feeds or social metadata.

    Done, this is now available as a feature when you're generating posts.

    AI generated?

      Afonso Carvalho Maybe not the thumbnail. Most themes will display the Featured image on the Post. When you open the Post, you'll have the thumbnail image at top and the video (with same image) direct below. It'll look strange. The featured image should be AI based on video topic.

      Afonso Carvalho I would like to have the thumbnail. It is what I would prefer. At least I would like to have this as an option within the settings.
