What code does Facebook, Skype, etc. look for to make their thumbnails?

Question

When I post a link in Facebook or Skype, they display some of the content as a thumbnail, but it's not the whole page, usually it's the most representative image. I would like my own pages to have nice thumbnails in Facebook, Skype, etc. too. What code do they look for to do this?

Use the `` tags from [The Open Graph protocol](http://ogp.me/). — Sebastian Simon, May 17 '16 at 21:06

As @Xufox mentioned, the <meta property="og:image" content="http://your.site.com/image.jpg"> meta tag from Open Graph is used for that. Scroll down a little to the full image sample under Structured Properties and you'll see some additional parameters.
