How do I get the information from a meta tag with JavaScript?

The other answers should probably do the trick, but this one is simpler and does not require jQuery:

document.head.querySelector("[property~=video][content]").content;

The original question used an RDFa tag with a property="" attribute. For the normal HTML <meta name="" …> tags you could use something like:

document.querySelector('meta[name="description"]').content
