Link previews are a way to see an overview of a link's content before
|
||
|
clicking on it. Previews can provide a useful summary of the content of a site
|
||
|
before you click on it, while also providing a quick integrity check to ensure
|
||
|
the link you meant to post is in fact correct.
|
||

Follow these steps to enable link previews:
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Open the `zproject/settings.py` file in the Zulip directory.

them, take a look at [this documentation](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/subsystems/settings.html)
|

2. Search for the line with the attribute `INLINE_URL_EMBED_PREVIEW` and set the
|
||
|
value from `False` to `True` to enable the embed preview feature.
