Large Facebook Thumbnails

Hey all, I was scrolling through my old posts on my facebook page and I saw two posts from April and May of last year that have nice big thumbnails, unlike the usual tiny ones provided. I can't figure out what I might have done differently, if anything. Does anyone have any insight into this? When I research it, I see people talking about using some other website to make this possible - but I didn't do anything like that.
 
The only thing I know how you can post to facebook withlarger thumbnails is this website: yt2fb.com
But if you say you didn't use anything like that, I don't have any other idea, sorry.

Hmmm, is there a size requirement or limit? have you checked to see the sizing?

Hmmm, I'm not sure what you mean. Facebook virtually always just puts up a tiny thumbnail for Youtube links. For two of my posts, the thumbnail is the width of the column in facebook. I should post a screen capture of it.

Facebook changed this late last year or early this year. I noticed it with my clients social media accounts as well. The work around I do is to post a description, paste the link to your video, and then upload the video thumbnail. It'll basically upload the thumbnail as a photo but the description will have the URL for the video...isn't a perfect fix but it works.
