Missing og:image in WordPress Playground source

[alexdeborba]

Description

I have noticed that the WordPress Playground is currently missing the og:image meta tag in its source code. This is causing links to the Playground to display without a featured image when shared on social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

Steps to reproduce:

• Access the WordPress Playground.
• View the source code of the page (right-click and "View Page Source" or use a similar option in your browser).
• Search for the og:image meta tag. It is not present.
• Share the WordPress Playground link on a social network (i.e: Facebook). The preview will lack a featured image.

Expected behavior:

The og:image meta tag should be present in the source code, specifying a default image to be used when the Playground link is shared on social networks.

Actual behavior:

The og:image tag is missing, resulting in no featured image being displayed on social shares.

Additional context:

• The absence of the og:image tag diminishes the visual appeal and discoverability of WordPress Playground links on social media.
• It is unclear if this is an intentional omission or an oversight.

Request:

Please consider adding the og:image meta tag to the WordPress Playground's source code to ensure proper display of featured images on social networks. This would enhance the sharing experience and visibility of the site.

@adamziel @WordPress/meta-design Do we have an image that we can add here?

I would love to refresh the Playground page, perhaps even give it a logo of its own. But until that time (and I hope we can look at this in the not too distant future) I wonder if we shouldn't just apply the generic design? This one.

That said, here are two alternates:

I would still lean towards using the generic one, until we have some more identity on that page.

While acknowledging the current functionality of the page, I would like to propose exploring design alternatives that offer a more visually engaging and technologically-inspired aesthetic.

The current presentation, while clear, feels somewhat unremarkable.

Yes, I agree, I think the page itself deserves a complete redesign, and an OG image to go with it. I'm proposing the above until we have that.
