Step by step

  1. Open the GitHub repo and watch the before/after examples.
  2. Install it with npx skills add hubeiqiao/og-video-preview (or as a Claude Code plugin from its marketplace).
  3. Make sure Python 3 with playwright, Pillow, opencv-python and numpy, Google Chrome and ffmpeg are installed.
  4. Ask your agent: use /og-video-preview to make my og:image move and add the meta tags. Review the layer preview and test frames before it renders the full loop.

Watch out for

Apple's players need your server to answer HTTP Range requests; the skill checks this and ships a Cloudflare Worker for hosts that don't. Apps that can't play video show the still, so check how your link looks in the apps your audience uses.
