What Open Graph is for
Open Graph is a small set of meta tags that tell any platform showing a link preview what to display. Facebook introduced it, and LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Slack, Discord, Signal, Teams and X all read it now.
Without these tags, platforms guess: they take whatever text they find near the top of the page and whatever image seems largest. The result is often a navigation menu as the description and a logo or a random thumbnail as the image. The tags exist so you decide instead.
