Showing something on the screen for a web browser game

So when you go to a page that has a game that's meant to be played in the browser, you have a vast white area with a small "Run Game" button in the middle. Does anyone know if there's any way to put some kind of image there so it doesn't look so terrible?

Yes, Embed BG in the theme editor while viewing your game page.

Thanks.

But now I have a related question:

When I tried to upload an image, I received the following error:

Upload failed

Your proposed upload is larger than the maximum object size specified in your Policy Document.

The image file size is only 3mb. The actual pixel dimensions are 1366 x 768, the same resolution as my game. If I make it any smaller, tiles. What can I do?

I don't know what the actual limit is, but can you not compress it smaller than that? 3 MB is massive for an image of that size.

Look into different file formats and compression options. You’re going over our file size limit for that image.
