Question 1

What is twitch.tv's Open Graph type?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

Does twitch.tv declare image dimensions?

Accepted Answer

twitch.tv 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 twitch.tv use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

twitch.tv's social headline is "Twitch" (6 characters).

Question 4

What description does twitch.tv use for social previews?

Accepted Answer

twitch.tv's social description reads: "Twitch is an interactive livestreaming service for content spanning gaming, entertainment, sports, music, and more." (115 characters).

Question 5

What site name does twitch.tv display on social cards?

Accepted Answer

twitch.tv sets `og:site_name` to "Twitch". This appears as a small attribution label on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack.

Question 6

What's the biggest issue with twitch.tv's Slack preview?

Accepted Answer

Image won't fit social cards (262×200, 1.31:1). Your square-ish image will be cropped to 1.91:1 on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Slack, and to 2:1 on Twitter. Use 1200×630 (universal) or 1200×675 (Twitter-optimized) for predictable rendering.

Question 7

How can I improve twitch.tv'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`.
