overview
Anyone who has loaded up a video on youtube had faced the frustration of being forced to use a choice of one of 3 random images.

You can specify the thumbnail if you are a youtube partner, but as of the publication of this article (2013-07-18) it certainly isn't the case for a regular youtube account.Canonical meta tags for drupal multiple domain sites
