I have the same issue. I just put my own thumbnails on when I attach a video and that takes care of the thumbnail issue, but I noticed when using the default video upload thinky, the video only shows locally (on qoto.org) and not on other instances.
If instead I upload to https://video.qoto.org/ to host the video and then point to that in my toots, will that fix it?

I just tried to log in at video.qoto.org using the same credentials as this platform, but no-go. Is it on another server, do I need to set up a separate account?

You need to register seperately but your username here gets priority, so if someone took or takes your username here and you want it we will delete that user for you.
@Pat is your account name there Pat? I will add you
@Pat You now have a 20 gig quota and bypass the auto-blacklist.. should you max out the quota just let me know and as long as yoru videos aren't against our ToS I'll be happy to increase it as needed.
Ok I see what you mean. Have you happened to notice if this happens with non-qoto accounts?
@FailForward It could be that its just a limitation of QOTO or a bug with the version. If you happen to add this as a ticket on our git I can investigate it at our next upgrade, which hopefully is in the fairly near future.
@FailForward
I suspect previews get queued and are probably rate limited from YT's end. So likely that is the case.
@Pat
peer tube is an entierly different service but it uses the same protocol (activity pub).. so yes it should fix it and people can even follow your peertube account directly as they would your QOTO account and receive new videos direct in their timeline.
@FailForward What do you mean by "in the mastodon interface".. is nt the public timeline part of that interface?
