Customizing Links Previews
Thumbnail
previews are automatically generated when you type/paste a link in the
compose screen. These reflect how your audience would view your post if
you share the same link natively from the social channel.
Facebook Link Preview
On
Dec 18, 2017 Facebook removed the ability to customize link
attachments. That means, a thumbnail will be automatically set for the
link, which you cannot edit. To customize the thumbnail image for links
before you publish them to your Facebook page, you'll first have to
verify your domain on Facebook.
Twitter Link Preview
Due
to Twitter's API restrictions, Zoho Social doesn't show thumbnail
previews for Twitter in the Publishing window. However, your published
post will have a thumbnail preview automatically generated from the
link.
LinkedIn Link Preview
When
the link you add to the Publishing window has multiple images, you can
navigate and select a different thumbnail image by clicking the arrows
on the link preview.
Link Previews are not generated for Instagram and Google My Business.
