Course Thumbnail Image on LinkedIn Profile Feb 02, 2017 By Steve Stark Hi Heroes, I have sort of an oddball question: I'm trying to showcase some of my courses in the Summary section of my LinkedIn profile, but when I upload a course it doesn't have a thumbnail image. Is there a way I can make it show some kind of image? Is it something to do with the metadata?
Gabe Anderson over 6 years ago02/02/17 at 10:30 pm (UTC) Hi again, Steve- are you using an absolute path (vs. relative) for the thumbnail image URL you want to highlight? Mind sharing the code you're using (or a link to it)? For ref here, here's the example from that LinkedIn page: <meta property='og:image' content='//media.example.com/ 1234567.jpg"/>
