    ?Hello,

    we have switched our video widget entirely from SmartSlider to The Plus.
    To our surprise we are now getting a warning from the search console that the rich snippets field are missing and video will not be shown in Google Search:

    Below the message is also the code part where Google tried to find the information but did not find it. We did not see these problems with Smart Slider.

    ?Please note that we have not just added an ID in the widget but ID with parameter (n9J_nf7N52I?modestbranding=1&cc_lang_pref=en&cc_load_policy=1 )?because we need to force specific languages on certain pages. Anyhow we do not believe that this is related to the problem.

    Thx for looking into this

    Cheers

    Tom

    We have tested further and can confirm that videos (all IDs, even the standard apple video which gets defaulted when adding the video widget) are neither recognized by Google nor by Yoast.

    Videos embedded with standard video widgets from Elementor or Smartslider will get recognized by Google and Yoast.

    So this looks like a major bug. Kindly check on your platforms. You can test it easily by putting your test URL into Google Search Console or when you have Yoast Video installed to check whether your video gets recognized.

    Hope that helps for further investigation.
