Summary

Add support for Open Graph video meta tags so video-heavy sites can optimize social sharing previews.

Why

  • Video content gets higher engagement on social platforms
  • Yoast Premium, Rank Math, and AIOSEO all support this
  • Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter all render video previews when these tags are present

Tags to Implement

<meta property="og:video" content="https://example.com/video.mp4" />
<meta property="og:video:secure_url" content="https://example.com/video.mp4" />
<meta property="og:video:type" content="video/mp4" />
<meta property="og:video:width" content="1280" />
<meta property="og:video:height" content="720" />

Implementation

  • Add og_video_url field to the content plugin form (mokoog.xml)
  • Auto-detect video dimensions if possible
  • Support YouTube/Vimeo embed URLs (convert to og:video format)
  • Output in system plugin alongside existing OG tags
  • Add VideoObject JSON-LD schema when video is present
