xxbrits Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I'm trying to figure out a way I can share direct links to specific videos and have that video playing in that desired app, sort of the same way we can share youtube links in twitter/whatsapp chats and the videos are able to directly play within that app/platform. Is this a simple feature? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Support Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 This is something that typically needs some meta tags in header that renders video info. Each platform should probably indicate which data format do they need, or whether they use some generic format.

Tech Support Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Then please go to Website UI -> Language files -> default and open it for editing. Add a new line with your twitter account: twitter_account = @TwitterDev This will do the same as theme option in the new theme version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
