Video Too Small in GSC

aaronlee

Hello,

I'm noticing a video to small error in Google Search Console. I believe this may have started appearing around the same time that I started using the universal player. Is there a solution to get these videos the right size to help get indexed?

Thanks,
Aaron

aaronlee Hey, we can reach out to our video team about this, please can you share access to your GSC? You can share access to shared-emea@ezoic.com - thank you!

Hi Imogen,

Thanks for responding so quickly. I've added access to GSC with this e-mail. If there is anything else that I need to do, I'd be glad to.

Thanks!

I have the same problem. Humix was turned off, but the videos appeared and Ive got a lot of google search console errors and a big drop in views on my website and my youtube channel :-/

Thank you for this information. In this article, the user did not want the videos indexed however I would like them to be indexed and rank. Is there support for this error in search console that they can't be indexed?

The larger videos here should be indexed but the smaller videos should not be indexed - this is the way it is intended to be working

Thank you, I appreciate the review.

Hi Guys,
just having this problem every once in a while.. still have to go to ezoic support - they somehow fix it, even if GSC cannot or can just sometimes....By the way....
It happened again - since 1 Week, my main videos are too small again to index and not shown in video search..

aaronlee

It makes sense that only the large videos would be indexed, but it appears that the videos are not fully included in sitemap. I have a lot of videos with no views. Can you please let me know if I need to add locations to the videos along with the universal player?

Thanks,
Aaron

aaronlee Hi Aaron, are you able to click on the three dots to see if there's further information on the video sitemap errors so we can take a closer look at this for you? You don't need to add locations alongside the universal player, no.

aaronlee

Sure, this is what was available from that page.

Thanks for sending this over. Just double checking this with the team and will get back to you.

aaronlee

Still working with my developers but just checking in to see if you've had a chance to check what I can do to get all videos visible and indexed.

Our team is looking into that thumbnail issue. We'll let you know when there's an update.

aaronlee

Thanks again! I've updated the image where the thumbnail was missing, but I'm still wondering why the sitemap is only detecting a few videos on the site.

HarryB

We'll let you know what our team find.

aaronlee

Thank you, I appreciate it.

Hello, sorry to send another message, just hoping to resolve this issue with video as I'm continuing to lose ranking positions. I noticed that when I navitage to edit videos in humix studio, the vidoes are not there. I am able to view them through the channel preview but not studio. Also, I have switched to AIOSEO and I've reached out to their support because i'm not able to download the video sitemap (images attached). Any guidance to help get this resolved quickly would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Aaron
