Learning video (LearningResource, VideoObject, Clip)

What is learning video rich result?

Google Search serves as a gateway for users to find and watch videos. Although Google attempts to automatically interpret your video's details, you can proactively provide information like the description, thumbnail URL, upload date, and duration by using VideoObject markup. This enables your videos to appear in Google Search results, video search results, Google Images, and Google Discover.

Kindly Refer Google Doc (opens in a new tab) to know more about learning video rich result.

What are necessary data for learning video rich result?

1. Embed video

learning-video.html

<div id="video-1">
 
    <iframe class="rjs-video-1-vframe"      
        src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zxyz"
        width="560" height="315" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" 
        allow="accelerometer; autoplay;clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; 
        picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen>
     </iframe>
    
</div>

💡

learning-video.html

<div id="video-1">
 
    <ul class="rjs-video-1-index">
        <li data-offset="30">Photo Testing</li>
        <li data-offset="200">Video Testing</li>
        <li data-offset="800">Cinematic Testing</li>
    </ul>
    
</div>

Function and parameters

💡

By default input file is overwriiten with result so destination is optional

This is only for API method. We prefer CLI method for keeping it simpler (refer - Working with API & CLI).

func_params.js

const richResultType = "video";
const filePath = 'learning-video.html';
const destination = 'dist/learning-video.html'; /* optional */
 
richie(richResultType, filePath, destination);
