Yes, you can. First you need to verify your YouTube channel and then you can add a custom thumbnail to your videos.
- Why is my monetization being turned off for YouTube Shorts scheduled through Publer?
YouTube videos published via 3rd party apps are not monetized by default. This is due to a limitation in YouTube's API. Currently, the only solution is to manually activate monetization for each post through your YouTube Studio.
