For Google to show your video in video mode, the video must be the main or primary content on your page, and not just as thumbnails in the search results as it did back in April. In an announcement, Google stated, “We’re extending this change to video search results.”
For search results that do not have a video as the primary element of the page’s content, Google no longer displays video thumbnails. A video embedded on a webpage would not qualify to show as a video thumbnail in the Google search results unless it is supplementary material or content to the page. It’s worth mentioning that Google added that the video has to be in your face for it to appear as the main content.
In the search results, videos are now showing in video mode, in the video tab. That section contains the following information:
Using Google Video Mode
As of yesterday, Google has begun rolling out this change, which is expected to take about a week to complete.
What does it suggest to have the video be the primary a part of the content material? Google said, “With this replace, clicking a result in Video mode will only take customers to a web page wherein the video is the primary content material. Here’s an instance of a page wherein the video is the primary content of the web page: the video is above the fold, it’s outstanding, and the primary motive of the page is to look at that video.”
Committed Video page
Here is an example of video content that is not the primary content:
- A weblog submit in which the video is complementary to the textual content in preference to the number one content material of the page
- A product info web page with a complementary video
- A video class page that lists a couple of films of equal prominence
Like with the trade in April, this too can also effect your overall performance and video indexing reports inside search Console. If you see new mistakes, it may be related to this change and if you see decreases or increases in video performance, it can be associated with this transformation.
Google wrote, “as the replace rolls out, you may see the effect of this change to your seek Console video indexing document. Movies that are not the main content material of the page will appear as “No video listed” in search Console. We are also including a brand new reason to the document to give an explanation for why those films are not indexed: “Video is not the main content of the web page”, which simplifies the record by means of changing the subsequent troubles:”
“considering that those motion pictures will no longer be shown in Video mode, you may anticipate to see a decrease in the quantity of pages with listed films. This decrease can even seem in the variety of video impressions inside the performance document, video indexing record, and the video rich outcomes document in seek Console,” Google added.
Right here is that report:
