Hi ​@Reanna Browne 

I think you are not alone, someone else recently reported this: https://community.miro.com/ask-the-community-45/any-way-to-continue-using-the-old-link-embed-design-26000

If I am not wrong in my understanding, ​@Robert Johnson said: previously these embedded links were somehow just objects. Now, there is a brand new catagory of objects called “Formats” and when you click on them, they open up in their own dedicated focus mode window. So from a usability standpoint that is supposed to be an advantage - you can click and then have complete focus on the content without any distractions from your board.

But from a “how does the link look” standpoint, you are right, they tweaked how it looks. Personally I see an advantage here: at least for me, all the embedded links have the same size, whereas previously they would have different sizes - and that made it difficult for me to make multiple embedded links look nice. But I absolutely see your point about the text getting chopped off.

The only suggestion I could make does take a few mouse-clicks more effort: (1) navigate to https://www.opengraph.xyz/. (2) enter the URL; (3) take a quick screenshot of the thumbnail; (4) paste the screenshot into Miro; (5) add the URL below the screenshot as text.

Sorry . . . I can’t say more than that but maybe other people could chime in?

Cheers, Ken

Thank you. 

Agree with the improved functionality, but its somewhat negated by the fact that people can no longer read the title of the URL, and so, they often have to click into a link. Which becomes annoying for a user when they didnt need to click into that link - they could have self selected correctly IF the thumbnail didnt chop the important details off.

Is there a way to flag this with Miro? 
 

This function is one of the primary reasons I use Miro, it might end up being a deal breaker and the reason I head back to Mural (which I’m hoping to avoid).
