MS Teams - placeholder website icon

M. Klopsch 1

Hello,
can someone please tell me where the placeholder for website icons in MS Teams does come from when posting website links without a proper thumbnail? I mean the two interlaced squares with rounded edges... Who is the author of this image? Is it free of any rights?
Thanks a lot!

Dear Jimmy,

thanks a lot! Well, yes, I like to know where exactly this placeholder thumbnail comes from. I know how to produce a thumbnail, but I need to know where the placeholder image comes from and if any rights apply for this icon. Who ist the author of this placeholder icon?

Hi @M. Klopsch

i did a research but we did not find any official document talked about this icon resource. It seems this icon is related to Teams itself. but we still not find any evidence to prove it.
