Integrate video - only thumbnail?
-
Hi!
If I integrate a video to my website (vimeo or youtube) the pagespeed slows down.
Now I integrate my video in wordpress with special plugins. These plugins shows only the thumbnail, only if the user clicks on these thumbnail, the video is loading. So is my pagespeed perfect ...
.. buuut now my question:
Google loves tables, images, video ...
Sees google these thumbnail still as a video or now only as a image?
Thanks!

Looks like everything's in order.
Though for general SEO and accessibility help, it would be great to provide transcripts for your videos.

OK thanks, here is an example page http://www.vergleichuns.de/tablet-test

Since the image is linking to the video, it should know that there's a video behind it. However, it also depends a lot on the code of how the plug-in works. It would be helpful to know the URL of your site and an example URL of video on your site doing this.

Thanks for the response, but it was not my question.
The question is ... Knows the google crawler that a video is behind these thumbnail in my content? Or sees he only a image?

Google's actually removed video snippets from most of its SERPs, if that's what you're concerned about. Check out this smart post from Casey Henry at Wistia.

Video page duplicates (that aren't really duplicates)
Hi. My company has a 1000 videos, each of the videos appear on their own page that follows the same template.

Video Sitemap, Video Location
I'm a link builder, so some of this stuff on-page stuff is out of my comfort zone. I've got a client who I'm doing a video sitemap for, as well as Schema integration. One of the requirements on the video sitemap is video location. They're hosting all of their videos privately at Vimeo, and embedding them on their website. Is there a URL that Vimeo has for engines, because the primary URL on Vimeo is blocked because of their permissions (private). Any suggestions on a work-around on this? Again, I'm a link builder and out of my comfort zone, so I apologize for the dumb question 🙂
