Change featured image in X social posts

When posting to X through HubSpot with a link inserted, the featured image of the X post will be an X card by default. X cards display an image and a link preview. This image is automatically selected by X based on the meta tags of the content being shared. X does not allow users to change the image associated with an X card.

To change the featured image in the social post, you must update your card to an image post. When making this change, the link preview text on the original X card will be removed.

To change an X card to an image post:

1. In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Social.
2. Create your social post.
3. After creating your post, in the editor, click the X tab. 
4. In the Add media section, click the delete delete icon. 

5. To replace the featured image, hover over the image and click the insertImage replace icon. 
6. To use the X card instead of an image, click the undo undo icon. 
7. To remove the featured image altogether, click the delete delete icon.
