I have a post with an embedded youtube video that I wanted to share on Facebook. It would be great if the og:video meta tag was set by Discourse when it detects a video in the post so that Facebook picks it up and displays it.

For those with experience, would it be that difficult to implement?

Has anyone else run into this issue?

It is a good idea, particularly if the post / topic has no images to grab.
