When I post a link on Facebook no thumbnails?

How do you make text clickable?

It's easy to share web content like articles, pages, and tweets in Slack. When you share a link, you'll see a preview of the content just below your message. If you don't want to see link previews, you can turn them off.

To share a link in Slack, copy and paste the URL into the message field and send. Most links will automatically expand to show a preview of the web page. Here's an example from the desktop app:

Tip: You can create hyperlinks in your messages to give links a cleaner look. To learn more, visit Format your messages.

When previews don't display

Here are some reasons your link may not expand to show a preview:

  • The link contains no preview data. If the web page doesn't include the necessary embedded data, the preview won't expand.
  • You linked to a private page or file. For example, you won't see a preview of password-protected YouTube or Vimeo videos.
  • It was recently posted by another member of your workspace. No attachment will expand if that link was shared in the same conversation within the past hour.
  • You haven’t added the Twitter app yet. If Twitter URLs don’t expand to show the full tweet, add the Twitter app to your workspace.
  • It links to audio or video hosted by a service we haven't not added to our allowlist. We're working to approve more services in future.
  • http:// was not included. Try adding http:// and your link should expand.
  • Your message contains more than five links. If more than five links are included, they won't expand.

  1. From your desktop, hover over the link preview.
  2. Click the  that appears on the left side of the link.

Note: The option to remove link previews is not available on the Slack mobile apps.

If you’d prefer not to see previews for shared links, you can adjust your settings:

  1. From your desktop, click your profile picture in the top right.
  2. Select Preferences from the menu.
  3. Click Messages & media in the left sidebar.
  4. Below Inline media & links, uncheck the boxes next to Show images and files from linked websites and Show text previews of linked websites.

Note: For some apps and integrations, link previews won't be disabled when the options above are unchecked.

Signal might focus on privacy and encryption, but it includes rich features found in other messaging apps like WhatsApp and iMessage. One such feature is link previews. Here’s how to turn link previews on or off, including on a per-message basis.

To generate link previews, the Signal app uses a privacy-enhancing proxy—the site you’re previewing never even sees your IP address. Link previews are supported on all sites that include HTTPS encryption.

Start by opening the “Signal” app on your iPhone or Android smartphone.

Next, tap your profile picture, avatar, or username initials found in the app’s top-left corner.

Select the “Privacy” option from the overflow menu.

Finally, toggle on or off the “Generate Link Preview” setting.

You can now navigate back to the Signal app’s home screen and open a conversation. The next time you send a website to someone, it will either add a link preview automatically or only send the URL, depending on if you enabled or disabled the “Generate Link Previews” setting.

Note: Turning link previews on or off won’t affect messages sent to you by others. If the person on the other end disables or removes link previews, they won’t appear on your phone.

Link previews in Signal don’t have to be all or nothing. If you choose to leave the “Generate Link Previews” feature on, you can remove previews before sending individual messages.

As before, begin by launching the “Signal” app on your iPhone or Android smartphone.

Next, select a conversation or start a new individual or group chat by tapping on the pencil icon in the app’s top-right corner.

Tap into the “New Message” text box and paste a URL.

A preview image and text snippet will appear above the link. To remove it, tap on the “X” icon found in the top-right corner of the preview box.

You can now send the link without the preview by tapping on the blue arrow button.

The URL will be sent without a link preview.
