MicrosoftPreview

MicrosoftPreview is assigned to the Preview category by BotScope. Detection is based on the user-agent string. Current pattern:

MicrosoftPreview/

Link preview bots are triggered when a human shares your link in a messaging app or platform. They fetch Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags to render the preview. The IP belongs to a real user — BotScope therefore hashes it via SHA-256.

BotScope aggregates every MicrosoftPreview request in your session: which URLs it prefers, how many 4xx/5xx responses it gets, whether it crawls from one or many IPs, and what time window it's particularly active in.
