  Hi,

  This is a pretty urgent matter. How do I change the default icon/thumbnail that appears next to links to my blog? What I mean is, a lot of sites like Steam, Discord, email service, etc. when you paste a URL into the message box, the URL becomes automatically formatted and an icon appears next to it. Here are 2 examples:

  The first screenshot is from my message on discord. Under my username, I manually typed out that link. Right below it, the link gets formatted into a sort of preview. Notice the icon/thumbnail that represents the preview (the icon reading Contra: Rogue Corps).

  The second screenshot is from Steam. It also formats links into a preview. Notice that it somehow selects that same image as the preview icon/thumbnail. How do I change this on my site so that when other sites create a preview of links like that, it uses a different image instead?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  So I did some reading and it seems that it is called a Featured Image. How do I set which image from my site will be the featured image used in link previews for my site?
