This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The poster property of the HTMLVideoElement interface is a string that reflects the URL for an image to be shown while no video data is available. If the property does not represent a valid URL, no poster frame will be shown.
It reflects the poster attribute of the <video> element.
