I can't undrestand why Facebook can't play all GIFs from my website? For example when I debug this page, Facebook don't show the GIF: https://keepgif.com/gif/when-your-dad-live.html The file is not too big and his width is greater than 200px. So where is the problem please? Is there some recomandations that I have to know to force Open Graphe to play any GIF from my website?

  • `og:url` should point to the HTML document, not directly to an image. – CBroe Mar 28 '17 at 12:34
  • In this case facebook will generate a preview of my page while I need to play a GIF from my website to facebook. Take this site as an example: [View-source:http://gifspace.net/image/ztYp] ` ` In og:url they put the link of the GIF and it works. Why when I do the same thing it does not work in 100% in case? – Islem Boussetta Mar 28 '17 at 13:43
  • _“In this case facebook will generate a preview of my page”_ - yes, and the image you specified is used as the thumbnail. – CBroe Mar 28 '17 at 14:50
  • Yes but i don't need image to be as a thumbnail. I want to play this image(GIF). take a look at this example: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/?q=http%3A%2F%2Ffunny-gifs.me%2Fimg.php%3Fid%3D9100 – Islem Boussetta Mar 28 '17 at 15:29
  • Did you figure this out? I am having the same issue. Sometimes, with the exact same settings, the gif will animated. Other times it will not. – tonestrike Oct 09 '17 at 15:07

redirect to your site. I guess, this may be problem.
