Hi Vijay, make sure you're using the old (flash based) vimeo embed code for the video and then use the sitemap below as a template for structuring yours. You need to fill in the gaps for anything written in bold italics.
<urlset xmlns="<a href=" http:="" www.sitemaps.org="" schemas="" sitemap="" 0.9"="">http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9” xmlns:video="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1"></urlset>
<loc>http://www.yourdomain.com/page-containing-video</loc>
video:thumbnail_lochttp://www.yourdomain.com/thumbnail-image</video:thumbnail_loc>
video:titleVideo Title</video:title>
video:descriptionVideo Meta Description</video:description>
<video:player_loc allow_embed="yes" autoplay="ap=1">http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=_VIDEOIDNUMBER_video:player_loc></video:player_loc>
video:duration</video:duration>Length of video in seconds (number only) e.g. 267
video:publication_date2012-02-29T18:30:15+00:00</video:publication_date>

Serge,
I'm afraid it does matter what platform you are using to host the videos - the platform will define a lot of elements of the sitemap and method of embedding is also incredibly important.
-
No it does not change. Does not matter what platform you are running, try try tools from the post above and you ' ll see

Hi Vijay,
I'll probide you with a sitemap template. Are you using Vimeo Pro? Or just a standard vimeo license?
Thanks,
Phil

Hey Vijay, I think that Vimeo won't change any things.Sometimes the only issue which you can get when the videos are streamed from Vimeo is the 'embed code' issue.
So from here you can get How do I Post Vimeo video . & If you get the embed code issue then Video Embed Issue will resolve the proble.
I hope that you will find the solution.

Hello Vjay, First of all a video sitemap is an XML file that tells search engines where videos can be found on a website. It helps search engines understand that it is indeed a video file, what the video content is, and what the technical specifications of the specific video are.
For more information or find the easy steps to create & submit a video site map , Please refer to the link.

Does google index html5 tracks (captions) for videos?
If we add the <track> tag next to a html5 video, with a Web Video Text Tracks Format (WebVTT) file for video subtitles / captions will google visit that and index it?

Embedded Video Sharing Count As Links?
I am considering using Wistia as a video platform to host video content I don't want listed on YouTube. One of the features they have (I bet they all do) is to allow other webmasters to embed the video on their site as well. If a webmaster embed's one of my Wistia videos on their site, do I get link juice? ...or is this only helpful to help spread branding?
