What it checks and how it works
The tool follows Google Search Central's video page, opened on 29 Oct 2026. It requires name, thumbnailUrl and uploadDate, and recommends description, contentUrl, embedUrl, duration, expires and creator (or author). Google asks for a unique name for each video, a time zone in uploadDate, and for contentUrl to point at the video file itself, not the page where the video lives; embedUrl is the alternative when there is no file URL.
The tool accepts a length like 12:34 and writes it as an ISO 8601 duration. It does not write the extra types the page describes: BroadcastEvent for a LIVE badge, Clip and SeekToAction for key moments. It also cannot check that Googlebot can fetch the thumbnail or file.
