Link Web Part Not Generating Preview
- Sep 06, 2019
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.

Exactly the same issue, no preview in Link Web part
What's the trick?

This is still an issue. The Link web part doesn't always show a preview of the page thumbnail image...even after refreshing and saving the page for a week. How do we report this to Microsoft?

Norman Young, there's no space at the end of my URL, and it still says
"There's no preview available for this link." also, it displays nothing in MSTeams either. - Norman YoungSep 09, 2019MVP
Is the Link web part working for you now?
It seems to be for me.

Norman Young- The Link WebPart is working for all of the links you just mentioned but it still doesn't work on our SharePoint Online site for these URLs:
https://www.google.com
https://www.uark.edu
https://www.bing.com
https://www.globalcyclingnetwork.com
https://www.codeproject.com
It should be noted that all of these URLs generate at least some part of a Preview in our instance of MS Teams.- Norman YoungSep 10, 2019MVP
Hi Shawn Eary,
Odd behavior. The links you provided work for me.
Thumbs up for GCN - I enjoy their content.
