Template
X Player Card template
A page that shows a working card inside an X post. Copy it, put your own app or video in the card, publish, and post the link on X.
Free with a Puter account. Your copy is yours to change, publish or download.
What is in the template
Works as soon as you publish
The card shows the steps to make your own until you put your own content in it.
Ready to publish
Publish it from the builder and post the link. No hosting setup.
Card tags already set
The tags X needs are written for you. Change the title and image to yours.
How to use it
Copy it into your account
Press Use this template and sign in with Puter. A new project with every file of the X Player Card template appears in your account.
Describe what to change
Tell the builder what you want in plain language: your content, your colors, a new feature. It edits the code and shows the result in a live preview.
Publish when it is ready
Put it on a public address with one click, or download the files and host them anywhere.
Ideas to try once it is yours
Your copy opens with these suggestions ready to send. Pick one, or describe a change of your own.
Show a video instead
Replace this page with a video player that fills the 480 by 480 card box, keeping the card tags in the head. I will upload the video file.
Change the card text
Change the card title, description and the @yourhandle tag to match my project and my X account.
Use my preview image
Use the image I upload as preview.png, the picture X shows before someone presses play, and keep it square.
Questions
What is an X Player Card?
It is a type of link preview on X (formerly Twitter). Instead of a picture and a title, the post shows a box that loads a web page in a frame, so people can play or watch without leaving their feed. X shows it when the linked page has twitter:card set to player and a twitter:player address.
Why do I have to add my published address after publishing?
X needs full https:// addresses in the card tags, and your copy does not have its own until you publish it. Publish once, then give the builder your address and it points the card tags at it.
Why does the card not play on my phone?
The X phone apps usually show the preview image with a play button rather than the box itself. Check your post in a desktop browser first, where the card plays inline.
I fixed the card but X still shows the old one. What now?
X keeps its first copy of a card for each link. Post the link again with something added to the end, like ?v=2, and X reads the page fresh.
Can I put an app in a Player Card?
X’s rules say Player Cards are for video and audio. A card with an app in it works, but X can turn it into a plain link at any time. Test from a protected account first if you want to see the card before anyone else does.
Is the template free to use?
Yes. Copying a template and building on it is free with a Puter account, and the copy is yours to keep.
Will changes to the template affect my copy?
No. Your copy is independent from the moment it is made. Updates to the template never touch it, and nothing you change reaches anyone else.
