# twitter:player:stream

Legacy optional Player Card field for a direct video or audio stream URL. X no longer publishes this field in its developer documentation.

## Code examples

Good example

```
<meta name="twitter:player:stream" content="https://example.com/video/clip.mp4">
```

A direct HTTPS media resource in the historical field.

Good example

```
<meta name="twitter:player:stream" content="https://example.com/podcast/stream.mp3">
```

A direct HTTPS audio resource.

Avoid this example

```
<meta name="twitter:player:stream" content="http://example.com/video/clip.mp4">
```

The historical Player Card requirements called for HTTPS.

Avoid this example

```
<meta name="twitter:player:stream" content="https://example.com/player?id=123">
```

A player page belongs in twitter:player, not in the direct stream field.

## Recommendations

- 01 Use a Direct HTTPS Resource Point to the media stream itself, not to the iframe player page.
- 02 Legacy Field Test the result on X before relying on it. The detailed official Player Card documentation is no longer published.
- 03 Keep the Iframe URL This optional stream did not replace the required twitter:player iframe URL.
