Do you have any resources available on Telegram collection previews? I am unable to find any information on this feature.

[yangwao]

Yeah, me either. I guess it's some telegram stuff, if you won't find anything on it, it's low-prio, but it would be good for some good experience. Wondering for example how discord process OG tags.

[yangwao]

Maybe inspect their meta tags or formating?

I researched without a result, then i looked at the corresponding telegram code https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/blob/1ebd9562a2c5bd797f06c961e6282307a2e8602d/Telegram/SourceFiles/data/data_web_page.cpp#L131-L139. I would suggest closing this issue, as i did not find any working example. Also the example above does only create one photo in the link preview. Maybe it was working some time ago but seems disabled.

@vikiival @roiLeo can you verify and close this?

[vikiival]

It does not work :)

[niklasp]

Oh so I understand that now it is about a Single image for a collection. Was referring to multiple which is not possible. But will reassign myself and work on this soon

[vikiival]

But will reassign myself and work on this soon

It would be better to find something with p1 or p2 label.

[niklasp]

I know, I am just getting started and slowly getting to know the code, will work on more, my first PR is still pending
