I'm attempting to Add a Classroom Share Button to resources that require authentication. When the "Share to Classroom" button is clicked on a resource, and the assignment (for example) is created in Classroom, the thumbnail, title, and URL are displayed at the bottom of the assignment.
Since the resource is behind authentication, the login screen displays for the thumbnail, and "Login" appears as the title of the link. It appears as though the service that captures the thumbnail and title doesn’t have access to the user’s session in the browser.
This will probably be confusing for teachers and students when they see this login message.
Is there a way to:
A.) suppress the thumbnail/title/URL from displaying?
B.) programmatically affect what is being captured?
C.) anticipate where the request is being made from and present the thumbnail service with a more relevant image/title?
Thanks.

When you're back on your classroom page, open up the class you'd like to customize. On the bottom right-hand corner, you'll see a link that says “Upload photo.” This button lets you select an image to add to the background. You may be prompted to crop the image or reposition it.
Go to Google Classroom and choose the class where you wish to update the header. On the Stream, near the bottom-right of the current image header, select “Upload photo.” Navigate to where you downloaded your new header, or drag and drop to upload. Move and crop the image if you like to get it exactly where you want it.
It's not possible to provide custom thumbnails (or title) to avoid the problem that some pages require a login.
You might like to star the feature request for this to indicate your interest and receive updates if/when this gets added.
