    Hi Enfold,
    I got a google console alert for several of our enfold websites here is an example of a page that got dinged:

    https://getfitdontquit.com/work-that-core/

    Here is the text of the alert:
    New reason preventing your videos from being indexed
    Search Console has identified that some videos on your site are not being indexed due to the following new reason:
    Video outside the viewport
    If this reason is not intentional, we recommend that you fix it in order to get affected videos indexed and appearing on Google.

    156 videos on this page were indexed, just this one not: https://youtu.be/McNvQMaPLYs
    I wonder why. Hope you can help.
    Thanks
    Tina

    Hey Tina,
    Thanks for your question, by the sound of “Video outside the viewport” I was thinking that at mobile the video was partly off the page, I checked your videos at the mobile size but they all showed in the pages correctly. Then I found this thread from just a couple of month ago that shed some light on it.

    If you want a video to be counted, it basically needs to be in the initial viewport, the video is embedded way down the page in the example you have given.
    So it wouldn’t really have the video indexed as apart of the page.

    I see that you videos are also near the bottom of the page, or “outside the initial viewport”, so to correct you will need to place the videos at the top of your page.
    Right now you have a image that looks like a video that links to a lower part of the page, try swaping this out for a real video. But since you have many videos on your page, only one will get indexed, do you may also need to make a new page for each video, so it can be at the top.
    I hope this helps.

    Best regards,
    Mike

    HI Mike thanks so much for your help.
    I did not realize that the viewpoint was the first screen when loading. That makes sense then.
    Have a great day.
