I am trying to add a share button from my website to Linkedin. It works fine. I am using this template
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=#Model&source=#Model" target="_blank">
<img src="https://simplesharebuttons.com/images/somacro/linkedin.png" alt="LinkedIn" />
</a>
The issue is that I get this screen:
When the user clicks on send to individuals the link is not included in the message body. How to fix that?
LinkedIn only supports the url parameter in its share URL.

I am trying to integrate the Whatsapp share button on my website. But I found that WhatsApp works for mobile devices, not for the browser. So, is there any way to achieve the WhatsApp integration for websites.
Here is the Html link I am using:
<a class="mct_whatsapp_btn" data-link="" data-text="" href="whatsapp://send?text=">Share</a>
Try this, I think it might help you.
<a target="_blank" href="https://web.whatsapp.com/send?text=www.google.com" data-action="share/whatsapp/share">Share via Whatsapp web</a>
This will open whatsapp web in the new tab.
You can try this
Share via Whatsapp web
I think you should try this widget it's shows chat bubble icon on website where user can send message from website https://www.widgetsquad.com/widgets/whatsapp
I'm trying to make my website shareable on LinkedIn.
URL : https://www.jedecouvremercator.com/
My website is W3C validate. I have followed all the LinkedIn recommendations and Google recommendations. My Open Graph meta is correct and the website is shareable on all other platforms.
But when I'm trying to share it on LinkedIn or when I use a custom link to share it, LinkedIn can't display the meta information.
(I always use garbage into the URL to kill cache before verifying my changes).
Can somebody tell me why?
Thanks a lot.
The site in your URL is down, and you didn't post any code, so that makes this difficult, but not impossible. I can still view your URL through archive.org, and when I try to share the archive.org URL, like this...
https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.archive.org%2Fweb%2F20190618064744%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.jedecouvremercator.com%2F
When I click the above, everything works perfectly fine for me. Example:

I developed a Asp.net website that play youtube videos on one page. I hosted it in windows Azure recently. But if I took a url of a page which play video and post it on facebook then facebook doesn't show any thumbnail. Can any one help me pls ?
to understand my needs you can post both of the following urls to facebook.
http://hiruvideos.hirufm.lk/index.php?page=videos-watch&id=1705
http://mostamazingvideos.azurewebsites.net/PlayVideos.aspx?uid=1
Second one doesn't show any thumbnail.
You are missing the Facebook Open Graph meta tags that tell Facebook what image to show when somebody shares the link to your website. Follow the best practices at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices (Section 3 talks about the meta tags).
I would like to embed a link that will open site visitor's browser with their facebook account in "New Message" writing mode with the "to:" field already pointing to my Facebook page.
Is there a way to do this?
It's a wordpress site, so if there is already a plugin that can do this I'd be happy to know which (without asking the visitor for permissions to a facebook app).
Thanks!
You could try to use the FB.ui send dialog:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/send/
There is a parameter called "to" where you could try to add the ID of your Facebook Page. Although i am not sure if it works for Pages, but it´s worth trying.
I want to include a youtube login system just like facebook has "login with facebook". I searched the api but couldn't find anything. Can someone guide me through or post link to any tutorial on how to do that. Actually, our website gives the option to upload youtube videos(video's html embed code), but to verify that the uploader is actually the original uploader and is not uploading someone else video, we want that he login the website using youtube login and then we verify that the uploader's name and the video's uploader name are same. I have got no ideas on how to do this, can someone point me to the right direction on how to get started?
Youtube uses Google accounts, so you actually want a "Log in using Google". There are some docs at https://developers.google.com/accounts/.
