LinkedIn is now using a thumbnail version of the Open Graph image when the URL is external and shared onto LinkedIn. The thumbnail version seems to be 120px by 72px.

When our meticulously worked upon OG image of 1200px by 630px is shown in a much smaller context, it doesn’t make any sense.

For this, we prepared two images and added two images with the proportions specified:

<meta property="og:image" content="https://urlToBiggerImage" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="630" />

<meta property="og:image" content="https://urlToThumbnailImage" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="120" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="72" />

However, LinkedIn is still using the bigger image even in a thumbnail context.

As per https://ogp.me:

If a tag can have multiple values, just put multiple versions of the same tag on your page. The first tag (from top to bottom) is given preference during conflicts.

Given this, I am wary of putting the thumbnail version on top and having it be the go-to in all contexts.

LinkedIn in my opinion should be reading the additional meta-data on these og:images and picking a correct image for each context (thumbnail, full preview image) for external URLs.

What can I do to make this happen? There doesn’t appear to be a clear way to reach out to LinkedIn either.
