It is considered embeddings of generalized quadrangles in a building of type \(F_4\). Main result 1. Let \(\Gamma\) be a thick generalized quadrangle point-hyperline embedded in a metasymplectic space \(\mathcal M\), with \(\mathcal P\) the set of points and \(\mathcal H\) the set of hyperlines defining the quadrangle. Then \(\Gamma\) will be a Moufang quadrangle or improperly embedded if the following property holds: (OV) No 2 points of \(\mathcal P\) in the same hyperline of \(\mathcal H\) are collinear in \(\mathcal M\).
