I would like to revisit this issue: https://stackideas.com/forums/deactivate-links-thumbnail-in-the-timeline

Arlex Wong advised using the custom css below. It works very well for links in text stories, but if the story type is "link" - not only the preview but the entire link is hidden which can be confusing for the user.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards

body #es .es-stream-preview .is-link {
display: none;
}
Hello Tomas,

I do not think there is any other work around since you are already hiding the preview. If the user only adds a "link" in the link story type, they essentially did not type anything in the text. Therefore, hiding the preview basically pretty much renders it empty.

Thank you. I created a cronjob that searches the database and removes some recurring large previews lacking useful information - such as the standard Google Drive preview. Works ok.

A similar issue came to my attention. Is there a way to limit the screen real estate taken by extremely long URL:s? Links to Teams meetings is a common example. See image.

Kind regards

Tomas

Currently, there is no setting to do this at this point of time.
