Link Web Part Not Generating Preview
Here is the code for a trivial Web Page I am hosting in IIS on a Non-SharePoint machine: <!DOCTYPE html> <!-- Saw this in the source at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-SharePoi...
It seems like a bug - especially considering that the Use the Link web part page shows a preview image to an external site.
I'll report it to MS Support and report back.

I get a URL Preview:
but when I try to put the same URL in the Link WebPart of a SharePoint Online page, I get a "There's no preview available for this link." message:

Shawn Eary Having the same issue, but it shows the preview on some SharePoint sites and not on others for the same exact link.
Exactly the same issue, no preview in Link Web part
What's the trick?
