When somone send link in Skype or Discord, it can create image and description, like is shown on screenshots:
<meta property="og:title" content="Site Title" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://my.site.com" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://my.site.com/images/thumb.png" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Site description" />
<meta name="theme-color" content="#FF0000">
<!-- Include this to make the og:image larger -->
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">
And the image displayed as the link preview on Skype is the thumb image specified in og:image (that is not available anywhere else on the page).
Keep in mind that Skype may also cache information.
