Add icon overlay to thumbnail

Hello, we apologize for the issue you are facing. To add an icon overlay to your thumbnail in Rank Math, you can follow these steps:

1. Go to your WordPress admin dashboard.

2. Navigate to Rank Math > Titles & Meta > Social Meta.

3. Scroll down to the "Custom Image Watermarks" section. Here, you can select the default watermark that will be applied if no custom watermark is uploaded. You can choose from a Play icon, a GIF icon, or set it to "Off."

4. Once you have made your changes, click on the "Save Changes" button to save your settings.

After enabling watermarks, they will be automatically applied to the social media sharing images. You can also set different watermarks for individual posts by navigating to the Rank Math > Social tab inside your WordPress editor for each post.

For a visual representation of how the overlays look, here are some examples:
