 * When I run my web story through the AMP test in google I am getting the following
   errors even though I have updated the poster image in the story editor.
 * One thing to note the videos are not showing the poster in my WordPress media
   library.
 * Error – The mandatory attribute ‘poster’ is missing in tag ‘amp-video’.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-when-running-amp-test%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * [@rachgur](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rachgur/) Thank you for reporting
   this topic. Could you please share a few details with us?
 * – What browser and browser version are you using?
 * – In pages 8 and 9, there’s a video that consistently shows “[video failed to play](https://jmp.sh/8PcU4Bb)“.
   How did you upload these videos? Was it through the WordPress media library or
   did you upload it inside the editor?
 * – could you share the video URL for page 8?

 * [@rachgur](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rachgur/) Thanks for your quick
   reply! Could you try the following steps:
 * 1. Edit story
    2. Remove videos completely from page(s) 3. Re-add videos through
   the media library on the left side

    2. after
   refreshing some videos had poster images but the latest upload did not 3. when
   I look at media library via my phone word press app I can see the poster images
   for the videos

 * [@rachgur](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rachgur/) thanks so much for these
   details!
 * We have some improvement for poster image generation in the next version 1.2.2
   that may address this issue. We’ll follow up when it’s out to update and look
   into this further.
