Question 1

What is sling.com's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

sling.com declares `og:type` as `website`. This tells Slack how to categorize the content when generating a preview.

Question 2

Does sling.com declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

sling.com sets `og:image` but does not include `og:image:width` and `og:image:height`. Explicit dimensions let platforms render the preview faster without downloading the image first.

Question 3

What headline does sling.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

sling.com's social headline is "Sling TV: Stream Live TV Channels, Sports, & News Online" (56 characters).

Question 4

What description does sling.com use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

sling.com's social description reads: "Ditch cable & stream live TV for the best price with Sling. Watch live news, sports, movies, and entertainment + top channels like ESPN, TNT, TBS and …" (155 characters).

Question 5

What site name does sling.com display on social cards?

Accepted Answer

sling.com sets `og:site_name` to "Sling TV". This appears as a small attribution label on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack.

Question 6

What's the biggest issue with sling.com's Slack preview?

Accepted Answer

og:url is not an absolute URL. Current value: "/". This must be a full URL starting with https://.

Question 7

How can I improve sling.com's social previews?

Accepted Answer

Review the recommendations above - they list specific issues and provide ready-to-paste meta tag snippets. The highest-impact fixes are usually a properly sized `og:image` (800×418), a clear `og:title` under 60 characters, and a 50-155 character `og:description`.
