Open Graph Meta Tags

og:audio

Learn how to use the og:audio meta tag to improve your site.

Defines the audio content that will accompany your page when it is shared on social media platforms that support Open Graph.

Code Examples

<meta property="og:audio" content="http://example.com/birdsong.mp3" />
Specifies an accessible MP3 audio file on a public server, which can be easily retrieved and played by the implementing social platform.
<meta property="og:audio" content="https://example.com/podcast/episode1.ogg" />
Defines an OGG audio file, showcasing support for various audio formats, provided the platform supports it.
<meta property="og:audio" content="file:///home/user/birdsong.mp3" />
Using a file path instead of a URL means the audio file is not accessible over the internet, rendering it unusable for social sharing.
<meta property="og:audio" content="http://example.com/birdsong.mp3?token=abc123" />
Appends a token to the URL, which might restrict access due to authentication or temporary access tokens, making it unreliable for sharing.

Recommendations

  • Correct Audio Format
    Ensure the audio file is in a widely supported format such as MP3 to maximize compatibility across platforms.
  • Hosting and Accessibility
    The audio file must be hosted on a publicly accessible server. Private, authentication-required, or region-blocked files may not work as intended.
