Pages with Video Structured Data Warnings

Priority: None

Impact: Neutral

What issues it may cause​

Pages with Video warnings may display basic video information without upload dates, duration details, or high-quality thumbnails that help users decide whether to watch the video.

How do you fix it​

  • Add uploadDate to show video recency and relevance
  • Include duration in ISO 8601 format for clear time expectations
  • Add high-resolution thumbnailUrl for visual representation
  • Include contentUrl or embedUrl for direct video access

Follow Google's Video guidelines for complete recommendations

What is the positive impact​

Adding recommended properties enhances video displays with upload dates, duration information, and quality thumbnails, helping users discover relevant video content and make informed viewing decisions.
