When posting a url in teams, we get shown a thumbnail preview of the website's opengraph tag for image. However the thumbnail preview has it's sides cut off.

There is a weird cropping that is happening.

The standard recommendation for websites for open graph image is 1200 x 630, so most website previews will have this problem.

Here is a screenshot of Microsoft Learn's preview when posted:

As we can see, in the thumbnail, the gray sides of the microsoft logo is cropped away.

My question is, how should an external website set their opengraph image tags so that their images are rendered fully in their entirety on thumbnail previews in MS Teams chats?
