Previously in Miro, when pasting a website link, Miro would grab preview information from the page and display this in a small box panel.

Discussed in this thread:

When you paste a website in Miro, what determines the information displayed. | Miro

 

However now, when I paste a link, the preview is not created any more. The link just displays as a plain text only hyperlink.

 

Why did the previews stop working? These were great for research, collecting links and URLs, etc. It is much harder to organise and visualise the text only links.

 

Can this automatic functionality be restored? I don’t want to have to manually take screenshots of each site. Also the description and image pulled through was better than a screenshot.

Hey all,

I got a mail from support: “There was an issue on our end that caused the problem you described. The issue has been resolved and everything should be back to normal now.”

tested and it works again, URLs for pages with open graph protocol get a preview panel when pasted again, woop woop :·)

AND.. pages not using open graph meta tags in their headers still get pasted as plain text, but the workaround I posted here also helps with that one! So we can use the EMBED function to get auto generated previews for pasted URLs that do NOT use the open graph protocol :·)

 

 

Thanks for updating everyone with this great news! 

 

For anyone still experiencing issues, a quick refresh of the board may help, and if that doesn’t work, reaching out to support could clarify any remaining questions.

 

Appreciate you sharing this here, @Tost!
