Reels and cover frames
Post a video as a Reel and choose its cover.
A video posted to Instagram goes out as a Reel and is also shown in your profile grid.

- Under the video, slide Instagram cover frame until the picture is the one you want.
Instagram uses that exact moment of the video as the cover in the grid and the feed.
