Open Graph Meta Tags

og:video:width

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

Specifies the width of the video in pixels that is to be used when the page is shared on social media platforms that support Open Graph.

Code Examples

<meta property="og:video:width" content="1920" />
Sets the "og:video:width" property to 1920 pixels, suitable for high-resolution displays and ensuring the video appears clearly on most shared platforms.
<meta property="og:video:width" content="1280" />
Using a width of 1280 pixels caters to a wide audience while balancing performance and quality.
<meta property="og:video:width" content="640" />
A width of 640 pixels may make the video appear lower quality or too small on high-resolution screens, potentially impacting viewer engagement and perception.
<meta property="og:video:width" content="5000" />
Specifying an excessively large width such as 5000 pixels can result in unnecessary bandwidth consumption and may not be supported by all hosting platforms or devices.

Recommendations

  • Optimize for Most Common Resolutions
    Consider setting a width that aligns with common screen resolutions to ensure your video looks good on most devices.
  • Keep Aspect Ratio Consistent
    Ensure the specified width maintains the original aspect ratio of the video when combined with og:video:height to avoid awkward cropping or stretching.
