As you can see there is something that is not getting picked up in the meta preview, even after i have saved the meta preview…

Hello Des. Hope your Monday is going well 😄
You have likely set this up correctly in your Typeform account, but sometimes there can be a delay for the social media sites to catch/update the latest meta description from a form. Luckily, most of them offer a way to manually retrieve the latest info, by pasting in the URL of the form into their Post/Sharing inspector. You can find the Linkedin inspector here: Linkedin post-inspector
You have probably done that, but it is worth to mention that you'll also need to ensure the latest changes to the typeform have been 'Published' by pressing the button in the top right-hand corner of your Create panel. 😊
Does it give you the help you need? Let me know how it goes!
+5Hey Des. Happy Monday!

i will note that even after i had made changes in the meta preview panel to change the title, and save the changed title, it reverted back to the previous version. it has been changed again and i will see if it reverts again.
cheers

Looks like #Twitter is already showing the right information? Don’t worry, I didn’t post it 
+6+6Just a thought that might make some sense for other curmudgeons like me to have this tidbit presented during the typeform naming process (if not seen to be be too advanced a topic for creating the form)
Maybe add a little bit into the ?info marker that the current title is set to the name of the typeform by default.
just a thought
+5Hey
In the meantime, can you confirm if your Linkedin post is now updated with the proper image? Did it work? Looking forward to hearing good news!
+6+5Woohoo! That's great to hear, Des.
For future reference, here you can also find the inspector link for other social media platforms:
Facebook/WhatsApp debug tool
And by the way, your post looks great!
+6+6thank you
+6coming back to the meta preview - is there a way to disable the image ie no image at all, or is this a requirement for a meta preview??
maybe it’s just the lack of a 3rd cup of coffee speaking on a friday morning, but just checking on this cuz i cannot seem to find the optimal size of image for the meta preview and was thinking of taking scissors to it but cannot seem to do so.. lol
cheers and TIA
+5Hi
+6Hi
Cup 4+ now.. and i see sounds and hear colours… a great way to hit Friday afternoon
more in the Typeform functilonality is what i was asking. Prior to posting the link to the social media ..
is it possible to remove the image (other than putting in ‘white spot’ and/or make the image much smaller (edit the size you want displayed)? the image takes up a bunch of real estate ..
just noodlin ..
+5this thread is very informative for me who is new to Typeform. Thanks for all these leads. Perhaps a follow-up to this discussion. Were you able to integrate variables present in the link preview like "name=laura"?
For my part, the preview link does not take these variables into consideration. The disadvantage is that when the lead clicks on the image, he is not directed to his own form. Do you have any suggestions on this?
I sent someone a link to my form in Linked In and the preview was blank. Anyway to use an image on it? Or is there a setting that I need to know about?
