Allow Videos Playing In Social Sharing

[xxbrits]

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?

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.

Something similar was discussed in these topics:

Hi Davex! I need your help with twitter cards code, Please! I have this code:

{{if $storage.video_view_video_view.video_id>0 && $lang.twitter_account}}
        <meta name="twitter:card" content="player"/>
        <meta name="twitter:site" content="{{$lang.twitter_account}}"/>
        <meta name="twitter:title" content="{{$storage.video_view_video_view.title|mb_ucfirst}}"/>
        <meta name="twitter:description" content="{{$storage.video_view_video_view.description|mb_ucfirst}}"/>
        <meta name="twitter:image" content="{{$storage.video_view_video_view.preview_url}}"/>
        <meta name="twitter:player" content="{{$config.project_url}}/embed/{{$storage.video_view_video_view.video_id}}"/>

Did you specify your twitter account ID in Website UI -> Theme settings?

On my KVS Default (7.5) there is no such option...

[Tech Support]

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.

hello I have it like this:

<meta name="twitter:card" content="player">
    <meta name="twitter:title" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:description" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:image" content=""45">
    <meta name="twitter:site" content="@{$twitter}">
    <meta name="twitter:creator" content="@{$twitter}">
    <meta name="twitter:title" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:url" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:image" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:domain" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:player" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:player:width" content="">
    <meta name="twitter:player:height" content="">

 

without configuring anything in theme settings.
