Answer 2

This question is a bit old but I ran into the same situation and got it solved so I just post my solution( or my understanding how it work) for others have the same problem.

(Thank you for @Justin Kominar, his answer in this question helps me.)

1. Make sure you have prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# in your tag, when you have iframe(s), make sure which page is calling the share function.
2. Make sure you set all four <meta> tags in you site and give the correct type to <meta property="og:type> (please go to ogp.me for more information)
3. Make sure you pass the correct url(the one you want to share, eg.https://news.com/this_news) to <meta property="og:url> especially when you use dynamic url
4. In the page you pass to og:url ( it is very important to understand linkedin will go to this page to look for the information not the page you call the share function, most of the time they are the same but sometimes that is not the case), you need to do step 1 and 2, set <meta og:image> AND MAKE SURE THE IMAGE LINK IS VALID AND THE IMAGE DOES EXIST

Hope it will help.
