Frequently Asked Questions

What is JSON-LD VideoObject?

JSON-LD VideoObject is structured data markup that helps search engines understand your video content. It can enable rich results like video thumbnails in Google search.

What duration format should I use?

The tool accepts both ISO 8601 format (PT1H30M45S) and simple time format (1:30:45 or 10:30). It will automatically convert to the correct ISO 8601 format.

Do I need both contentUrl and embedUrl?

You need at least one. contentUrl is the direct link to the video file, while embedUrl is for embedding (like YouTube embed links). Google recommends including both when available.

Where do I put this code?

Add the generated script tag to the <head> section of your page, or within the <body>. Place it on the same page where the video is embedded.

How do I test if my markup is valid?

Use Google's Rich Results Test (search.google.com/test/rich-results) to validate your markup and see how it might appear in search results.
