Custom thumbnails that will show when sending a link through iMessage (and other messaging services)

Hi Replay developers,
Is there a way to share the links with a custom thumbnail as well?
As for now you only get the generic picture which is a bit confusing.
A lot of times I get the response that they did not get a new link
or they are afraid opening it thinking it's a scam link...

Hello! This video shows how you can set a custom thumbnail for your videos. The custom thumbnail will also be used to generate previews in iMessage: https://capture.dropbox.com/Wht2ekCdZbEV2CEi

One caveat I should add is that iMessage won't generate any link previews if the recipient of the message has never texted you back in the past. This is a security measure implemented by Apple, and we don't have any control over this behavior.
