You need to use something that allows you to work with video. For example, ffmpeg can do a lot. For PHP there is a wrapper FFMpeg-php. The frame is saved like this:
Time, respectively, you need to take, based on the duration of the video.

I can offer an option for youtube.
YouTube saves thumbnails for each video and you can get them like this
where [VIDEO_ID] is the hash of the video,
[0-3] is the screenshot number (there are 4 of them in total)
You can display the picture directly at this URL, or after saving it to yourself
