Open Graph metadata

# og:video

Provides the URL of a video resource that complements the Open Graph object.

## Code examples

Good example

```
<meta property="og:video" content="https://example.com/path/to/video.mp4">
```

An absolute URL to a public video resource.

Good example

```
<meta property="og:video" content="https://cdn.example.com/trailers/launch.webm">
```

A video resource hosted on another origin is also valid.

Avoid this example

```
<meta property="og:video" content="/path/to/video.mp4">
```

Use an absolute URL so every consumer resolves the same resource.

Avoid this example

```
<meta property="og:video" content="file:///home/user/video.mp4">
```

A local file URL cannot be fetched from the web.

## Recommendations

- 01 Use Absolute URLs Choose a public resource URL that consumers can fetch without cookies or authentication.
- 02 Add Video Details Put type, width, height, and alt properties immediately after the video they describe.
