So, what are Meta viewports? 

The visible region of a web page is set by the Meta viewport tag. It is used to instruct the browser on various screen sizes (i.e., desktop/tablet/mobile) to render the website.

They are basically the same thing as a "viewport", and the former is also sometimes referred to as a "meta-viewport” or "meta-view". These can be found in any graphics application and are used for displaying a preview image on the web page.

Viewports are simply a preview image that is placed on your web page on the screen. It looks like a regular, normal image, but instead of being displayed right there on the screen, it is displayed on the page by a special type of server software that is referred to as a "viewport". A "viewport" usually connects to a graphics card, and this connection usually displays the image on the page in a format that resembles an enlarged version of the original, which is what you would see when viewing the web page.

Viewport basics

Here is how we incorporate viewport code in our page:

The width property controls the viewport's size. It can be placed to a particular pixel density, such as width=600, or to a device-width special value, which is the screen width in CSS pixels at 100 percent scale.

When the page is first loaded, the initial-scale property controls the zoom level. The maximum-scale, minimum-scale and user-scalable properties control how the page may be zoomed in or out by users.

What makes viewports a useful tool for web developers?

This is because they allow designers to create interactive elements on their pages without having to write code in order to do so. A viewport is used to display a specific image or some other type of animated element in a "virtual browser" that allows you to view the image in its full size in your browser. This way, you can interact with a particular piece of graphics while still viewing it in its normal state.

In final words, why should you use one for my web page? Well, for starters, you can't use a regular image on a web page - the images must be rendered as they were created by a viewport.
