Jason_Schumacher; it's still happening with Twitter - seems to work for other urls / web sites but links to tweets no longer preview...however, they did when I was initially using the program so I'm not sure what happened. Is there any way to resolve the issue with previews of links to tweets? eg - this is the only image I get, not the one from the tweet:

Thank you for sharing more details on your experience. After looking into this further, I think I have a solution to unblock you, but also a bug for our product team to investigate.

I'm noticing some URLs will only preview after the post is made. I tried this with twitter and it worked. Please try this and update us if it works for you.

Jason_Schumacherthanks for responding. I'm not sure if you mean the Teams post or the Twitter posts when you say after. In any case, the tweets have already been posted, as well as the Teams posts, so in both cases, I'm still getting not getting a url preview afterwards.
