Technical Guide

VideoObject schema requires name, description, thumbnailUrl, and uploadDate at minimum. Google recommends including contentUrl (direct video file URL), embedUrl (video player URL), duration (ISO 8601), and interactionStatistic for view counts. For key moments (timestamps shown in search), either use Clip markup or enable YouTube chapters. The thumbnail should be 1200x675px minimum. For live streams, use BroadcastEvent with isLiveBroadcast. If the video is behind a paywall, use isAccessibleForFree and hasPart with AccessibilityAPI.
