Yoast has a great video SEO add-on for Yoast SEO, that works very well for managing YouTube and other video tags for social media.

I believe when you use a YouTube URL in the theme with video template it does put the tag in the META data, but might only be for the image/thumbnail.

Hi,

Thanks Christopher!
You can use get_post_meta($this->post->ID, 'td_post_video', true); function. You can see here how it’s used on video post format: http://screencast.com/t/EEvs1HpJY

Thanks
