Millions of videos are uploaded and embedded and its hard to find them, which is the reason a XML Video Sitemap of these videos can help you in getting them indexed in a better way and make sure that these videos are displayed in the search result pages.<\/p>\n<p>Creating a video takes a lot of time and resources and its sad when you find that your useful videos are not viewed by people, while other useless videos are shown to the people who search in the Google. Hence a better sitemap would be helpful to the video uploaders in getting more number of viewers. Google delivers relevant content with the video index and the tags, information provided with the videos. The same index is updated whenever new videos are found by Google and displays the same in the Search Results.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Video-Search-Xml-Sitemaps.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12767\" title=\"Video Search Xml Sitemaps\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Video-Search-Xml-Sitemaps.png?resize=575%2C337\" alt=\"Video Search Xml Sitemaps\" width=\"575\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Video-Search-Xml-Sitemaps.png?w=575&amp;ssl=1 575w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Video-Search-Xml-Sitemaps.png?resize=300%2C175&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/Video-Search-Xml-Sitemaps.png?resize=150%2C87&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is quite similar to the normal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/html-xml-sitemaps-generator\/\">xml sitemaps<\/a> which are submitted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/tools-create-google-sitemap-submit\/\">Google<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/tools-create-yahoo-sitemap-submit\/\">Yahoo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/increase-visitors-baidu-search-engine\/\">Baidu<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/submit-website-bing-search-engine\/\">Bing<\/a> search engines.<\/p>\n<p>Google needs the following items for indexing the videos and displaying them in the search results.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Title<\/li>\n<li> Description<\/li>\n<li> Play page URL<\/li>\n<li> Thumbnail image URL<\/li>\n<li> Raw video file location<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All this information can be automatically grabbed using a WordPress Plugin which would automate all this process and give you a ready made video-sitemap.xml.
