Video content lacks og:video Open Graph meta

og:video is an Open Graph tag, a piece of hidden code that tells platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn and WhatsApp what to show when someone shares your page link. This check found actual video content on the page, such as an embedded YouTube, Wistia or Vimeo player or a native video element, but no matching og:video tag describing it. Without og:video, a shared link to this page renders as a plain text-and-image card on Facebook, LinkedIn and WhatsApp instead of a video preview people can watch inline. HubSpot's 2025 research found a 40-60% uplift in click-through rate on shared links when a video preview is present, so every share of this page is currently underperforming what it could achieve. Your marketing team should add four Open Graph tags for each primary video on the page: og:video, og:video:type, og:video:width and og:video:height. This is a small addition to the page's existing meta tags and takes about 30 minutes once the video's file details are known.
