Feature Request – Video oEmbed standard – Metadata – Schema.org
-
Hi,
Support for adding metadata to videos in both the Cloudflare Stream Dashboard and the WordPress Plugin using the oEmbed standard on par with Vimeo and Wistia.This is for SEO purposes, as well as for other services that integrate with video hosts so they can pull the video metadata in and embed in JSON-LD format.
e.g.#1 For example, all food recipe websites use a Recipe plugin, which allows you to paste the embed url for the video recipe. The recipe plugin pulls the metadata from the video host via oembed and makes sure it follows schema.org’s requirements for video objects. These plugins use the schema.org recipe object, and then make the video a sub object of the recipe object.
Here is an example of that:
