When we share a link of a video on Facebook it shows only a small thumbnail
Is it possible to use any script to make it bigger or it could take the orignal photo thumbnail of the video ?

Hi Ariana, PHPVibe uses the og:image meta tag used by Facebook to grab the image, but unfortunately sometimes Fb makes issues (for all).

If you open a video and view page source you will notice the Fb tags:

Code Select Expand

<meta property="og:image" content="http://videoinedit.com/media/thumbs/94cd8656222d56094cce1e446ba93256-1021443.jpg" />
<meta property="og:description" content=""/>
<meta property="og:title" content="Cineva are chef de dans :))" />

The image is not in any way re-sized by PHPVibe.

Hi
Can you check this link http://blog.petflow.com/if-you-were-born-before-2000-you-need-to-watch-this-my-favorite-video-ever/

See they did something even the image has a red youtube play on it when you share it on facebook and it is also a bigger size image

If you guys could fix this it will be awesome even for other customers

And the image it's just like this with the player on it http://9.petflowblog.isprimecdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Screen-Shot-2014-06-13-at-12.30.55-PM.png

Yes samething but PHPVibes videos are showing with small photos on Facebook
That is what i mean all of their videos are showing on Facebook feeds with Player button on it like Youtube videos.

They stamp the video button on the image, as I've showed you.

The only way to see this happen is if you create an extra thumbnail for Fb, and watermark it with a player logo http://www.sitepoint.com/watermark-images-php/
