Video Thumbnail not Displayed for "Share" Option on Facebook #214

Open akashpatel0427 opened 4 years ago

Expected Behavior

When you share a video, the thumbnail associated with the video should be shared to Facebook - not the static og:image link. For organizations that perform video marketing, Facebook posts are critical. If every thumbnail is the same the Facebook page can appear bland. The thumbnail shared/scraped to Facebook should correspond to the video you wish to share on Facebook.

Remove the static links and create a dynamic one; much like Youtube.

Actual Behavior

When you share any video in the JW Showcase to Facebook; the preview image/thumbnail of your shared post is the same one you configured/hardcoded to the og:image in the index.html file.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Visit webiodesign.com/dev/carelink
  2. Click a video
  3. Share the video to Facebook
  4. Choose another video
  5. Share to Facebook

No matter which video you select, the image/thumbnail/Facbook post is the same... from a marketing perspective; that is bland.
