In the past few days, some HAQM process has distorted the video thumbnails of several of our products when viewed on mobile devices, squeezing the recommended 16:9 thumbnail (including the normally circular "play" icon) in to a square aspect ratio that makes the thumbnail look sloppy and amateurish.
The thumbnail is distorted on all mobile devices, but appears normally on desktop screens.
Re-uploading the original 16:9 thumbnail in the Manage Video screen doesn't fix this.
Might you have any suggestions to restore our original thumbnails?
An example of the distorted, squeezed thumbnail image seen on mobile phones is below.
