The following code which can be added to functions.php in your theme is from this thread and is a global way to include the featured image (regardless if it is a video thumbnail) in RSS.
// THIS INCLUDES THE THUMBNAIL IN OUR RSS FEED
function insertThumbnailRSS($content) {
global $post;
if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ){
$content = '' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'thumbnail', array( 'alt' => get_the_title(), 'title' => get_the_title(), 'style' => 'float:right;' ) ) . '' . $content;
}
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'insertThumbnailRSS');
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'insertThumbnailRSS');
