SERP FeaturesVideo packKey moments

Video results and carousels

Video thumbnails shown individually or in a carousel on the SERP, eligible through VideoObject markup, video sitemaps and on-page embedding.

In full

Google requires the video to be the main content of a page, with a stable thumbnail and content URL it can fetch. `Clip` and `SeekToAction` markup enable Key Moments, which deep-link into timestamped sections. YouTube-hosted videos frequently occupy these slots, so publishers must decide whether to compete with their own YouTube presence or embed and mark up on their own domain.

Example

A tutorial page adds VideoObject with Clip markup and starts showing key-moment links for its three main chapters.
