Is there any way to add a cover image to an embedded audio?

Hi Canvas Community. Right now, audio files just show a default music icon as a cover image when they are embedded in a course page (see the attached picture); and setting a "cover metadata" in the audio file doesn't make any change.

So, is there any way to change that default cover image of an embedded audio?

Thanks in advance.

Hello @dlopeztassara ...

I don't believe there is a way to change that music image at all on the front-end UI of Canvas, unfortunately.  Your screenshot looked a lot like the Canvas Studio video/audio player interface, but it's not quite the same.  With Studio, if you upload your own video, you can change the thumbnail picture for the video, but that does not work with audio files uploaded to your Studio library.  How do I replace a Canvas Studio video thumbnail? - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com)

Sorry I don't have better news for you, but I hope this has helped to answer your question.
