I got these meta tags the head of my sites, but hotmail shows no image when calling the url.

Any idea to solve this?

<meta property="og:title" content="Customer title" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Customer description" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://customerurl.nl/images/ogimage.png" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://customerurl.nl/" />

The og-tool of Facebook shows the right image, but shows also a warning I don't understand.

The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

But it is explicit present, not just a few hours, a few months.

  • Hey, I'm curious if you resolved this? I'm seeing the same issue. Moreover hotmail parser seems to be not using other meta tags, like `og:description`. It's almost like it scrapes them from other pages on the same domain. – c00000fd Oct 18 '17 at 03:24
  • No, not yet unfortunately. Maybe someone can report this to Microsoft. – J. Kruijt Oct 19 '17 at 05:52
  • I might be mistaking but my assumption so far is that Outlook Mail parser might be getting the `og` info from what they scraped via Bing, which **is very lame** if it's true.

It seems like Skype always works this way. – c00000fd Oct 19 '17 at 06:06
