    The plugin will add markup to the videos, but the data provided in the embed object isn’t enough, it’s missing some of the required data.

    Schema can pull the Name and thumbnailUrl, but the Description and Upload Date isn’t available in the return data.

    Also JFY, this is not the case for all video provides, for example if you tried one from Vimeo, you will get a valid markup that is more rich than what YouTube video has to offer.

    The Schema plugin however, allow you to fix only one video -The first video on page- by enabling a post meta box for VideoObject in your post Edit screen.

    Is this going to be fixed in the plugin? “No”, this is not an issue with the plugin itself, but hopefully when the Embed feature in WordPress gets an update in the future, maybe it can provide the missing details, so this will be fixed naturally, and it should work for all videos on page.

    I hope this explains.

    Note: For anyone who come across this thread, I’ve put together details on how to enable this feature in the documentation: VideoObject markup.
