Description

Yoast Video SEO is a WordPress plugin that helps Google find, understand, and display the videos embedded on your site. It adds VideoObject schema and creates XML video sitemaps behind the scenes, so your videos can appear with rich results like thumbnails and timestamps. It also adds OpenGraph tags so video previews show correctly when shared on platforms such as Facebook and Slack.

Key Features

  • VideoObject schema markup – The plugin automatically adds VideoObject schema to every video it detects, so Google can understand and display your videos in search.
  • XML video sitemaps – It creates and keeps XML video sitemaps up to date for you, so Google can find and index your video content without manual work.
  • OpenGraph video previews – OpenGraph tags are added so your video previews appear correctly on Facebook, Slack, and other platforms when your content is shared.
  • Custom thumbnails with preview – You can set custom thumbnails for your videos and preview how they will look before publishing, so you can pick the one that draws clicks.
  • Faster page loads – Video delivery is optimized with asynchronous JavaScript, so pages keep loading quickly even when a video is embedded.
  • Supports major video platforms – Embedded videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, VideoPress, and other platforms are handled so they are SEO-ready wherever they are hosted.

Who Is It For

This plugin is for site owners who rely on video for engagement, conversions, or education, including e-commerce stores, educators, and publishers. It suits WordPress users who want their embedded videos indexed and shown in Google search results without technical setup.
