Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Video Schema generation. It seems that you are experiencing a situation where the schema is not being automatically generated for your custom post type "Video" unless you manually save it.
In Rank Math, the automatic generation of Video Schema should indeed work when you have the Autodetect Video option enabled and the Schema module configured correctly. However, if the schema is not appearing in the HTML until you manually save it, this could be an unexpected behavior.
To ensure everything is set up correctly:
- Make sure that the Schema module is enabled in your Rank Math settings.
- Check that the Autodetect Video option is enabled for your custom post type under Rank Math SEO → Titles & Meta Settings.
- Ensure that you have configured the Video Schema settings properly for your custom post type.
If all these settings are correct and you are still facing this issue, it may be worth checking if there are any conflicts with other plugins or themes that could be affecting the schema generation.
Since this behavior is not typical, we recommend replying to this ticket with your findings, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will be able to assist you further and determine if this is a bug or expected behavior.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue!
Hello,
For the video schema, there are many additional fields like Embed URL, Content URL, and Duration that need to be added manually to make the schema work. Rank Math only includes the basic properties like Headline and Description automatically.
In the PRO version of the plugin, Rank Math automatically adds all the fields when you add the video from any supported platform. But in the free version, you’ll have to manually add them.
Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
Hi Siam, so I either fill them manually, purchase the PRO version so I can use the auto-generate option or the schema will not be generated. Is that right?
Hello,
Yes, the video schema properties/data are automatically fetched in Rank Math PRO.
Here’s a link for more information:

Looking forward to helping you.
Hi Reinelle, if I purchase the PRO version and activate that feature then all my videos (that comply with Google requirements) will be indexable and validated as Video post? Another question is, using all other features like keyword rank tracker, index status, position history of keywords and posts, etc, will impact the speed of my website negatively? If it affects my website speed negatively or the videos have issues with the schema generation I will ask for a refund. If you guarantee that it will only bring a positive change then I can purchase the annual subscription today.
Hello,
1) The video schema can be added automatically to your existing post using the PRO plugin.
2) Using the analytics module or other features of the PRO plugin does not affect the performance of your website.
3) To ensure your peace of mind, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee after your purchase.
We hope that helps, and don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.
Thank you.
