# twitter:player

Provides the HTTPS iframe URL for an X Player Card. X has retired the detailed public tag reference, so test current rendering before depending on it.

## Code examples

Good example

```
<meta name="twitter:player" content="https://example.com/player?video_id=12345">
```

An HTTPS URL to the embeddable player page.

Avoid this example

```
<meta name="twitter:player" content="http://example.com/player?video_id=12345">
```

The historical field required HTTPS.

Avoid this example

```
<meta name="twitter:player" content="">
```

An empty value provides no player URL.

## Recommendations

- 01 Use HTTPS The historical Player Card requirements called for an HTTPS iframe URL.
- 02 Declare the Dimensions Add twitter:player:width and twitter:player:height with the iframe’s pixel dimensions.
- 03 Test the Embed Confirm the iframe works without cookies, plugins, or browser permissions that X cannot provide.
