Google Videos

Google Videos is the dedicated video search tab within Google, heavily dominated by YouTube (which Google owns), but also indexing videos hosted on independent domains, Vimeo, and social platforms. Because video content drastically increases user dwell time, Google frequently pulls results from the Video tab and displays them directly on the main web SERP in Video Carousels. Ranking requires implementing Video Schema markup, providing highly accurate closed captions (transcripts), and utilizing timestamps to create “Key Moments,” allowing Google to jump the user directly to the exact second of the video that answers their query.

Google Videos Simplified

Google Videos is the search engine specifically for finding videos. To make sure your videos rank high, you have to give Google a written transcript of everything said in the video, and add timestamps so Google knows exactly what topics are covered at different points in the video.
