YouTube Embedded Videos - Support

Greetings,

I turned on the redirect attachment a few days ago. But now I see that the Google search console shows the problem of video outside the viewport on indexed videos and not indexing newly embedded YouTube videos in the blog post. On checking all of the videos on every device, I found that the videos were inside the port.

If I do not include the attachments in the sitemap, google does not index my YouTube-embedded videos, which is bad for seo. If I include the attachments in the sitemap, I cannot redirect the attachments to the page, which is also bad for seo due to thin content; in this case, what do you suggest?

Thanks and regards,

Greetings,

More than 100 URLs are affected; one of them is
https://topictics.com/how-to-create-an-anti-harassment-policy/

The embedded videos that had been indexed properly also show the problem of the viewport.

Hello,

Thank you for your patience.

This issue means that Google couldn’t identify a prominent enough video to qualify as the video for this page.

To fix this, you may need to reposition the video on the page so that the entire video is inside the renderable area of the page and see when the page loads.

Here are some helpful articles you may refer to as well:

Hope that helps.

Greetings,

Sorry, but I strongly disagree that this is not the case.
For instance, you can see that the YouTube embedded video is after the first paragraph (https://topictics.com/is-quid-pro-quo-illegal-harassment-examples/). But Google defines it as outside the port.

The thing that I noted may be the cause is the width and height of the video, which is in px, not % (It means the video is not responsive on all the devices. Can it be a fault?

If yes, please help me change the height and width to 100%.

Hello,

We have checked the css width and height property and they are set to 100% each so cannot be the cause of this issue as shown in the image below.

Can you please follow the guide by my colleague here to see if that works for you.

Looking forward to helping you.
