Ah so this won't directly work with Spaces right? Since the Gradio app is iframed and Spaces has their own meta tag? e.g. https://socialsharepreview.com/?url=https://huggingface.co/spaces/abidlabs/test-og

I chatted with @dawoodkhan82 about this:

• not sure if the screenshot is a good idea because the screenshots are hard to parse and won't work for Spaces anyways as I mentioned above
• Instead, I think we should do the following:

1. Fix the default meta tags and image so that they aren't broken (in this PR)
2. Allow users to set their own meta tags (probably also in this PR)
3. Modify the meta tag in Spaces for a nicer preview similar to GH social cards (separately)
