# Obtaining Video Thumbnails Using System Capabilities

### Overview

This sample demonstrates two methods of obtaining video thumbnails: call getThumbnail() to obtain the default video thumbnail, or use the AVImageGenerator class to obtain the thumbnail of the video at the specified time. You can quickly develop the scenario where video thumbnails need to be obtained, for example, video browsing and sharing scenarios where users can quickly browse and select desired contents according to the video cover.
