I am using the following Linkedin API for sharing from my application. https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=XX&title=XXXX&source=XXXXX. I am using open graph meta tags for binding the informations 'title', 'URL', and 'description'. But the description is not working with Linkedin. It is working fine with Facebook share.

Step 1 - Use the Right URL Format

https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url={url}

Step 2 - Set Title, Description, Image using og: Tags..

  • <meta property='og:title' content='Title of the article'/>
  • <meta property='og:image' content='//media.example.com/ 1234567.jpg'/>
  • <meta property='og:description' content='Description that will show in the preview'/>
  • <meta property='og:url' content='//www.example.com/URL of the article' />

Step 3 - Check Your Code

Take the URL you are sharing (i.e., example.com, not linkedin.com?share=example.com), and input it into the LinkedIn Post Inspector. You will be told everything that goes into determining how your webpage is shared on LinkedIn.
