The first is where, in the Schema.org markup, your video appears: In its own VideoObject at the top level of Schema.org, or inside a video property inside the Recipe or HowTo object.\n\n(Wondering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/what-is-schema\/\">what is Schema.org?<\/a> Don&#8217;t miss our post that explains how it works.)\n\nIf you don&#8217;t know what that means, you aren&#8217;t alone, and that&#8217;s okay. Basically, think of it as what is outputting the Schema for you: The Mediavine Video Player, the top level VideoObject or your recipe card plugin (when the video is inside the recipe card).\n\nThe second placement is the physical location of the player, as in where is it being displayed: Inside the card, or inside the content.\n\nSo ideally, where should you want the Schema and where do you want the player to physically live? Let&#8217;s break that down through the lens of SEO, UX and revenue potential \u2014 the three goals we mentioned above.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9716 size-mv_create_no_ratio\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/craft-blogger-735x490.png\" alt=\"A vlogger filming and holding a bouquet of flowers.\" width=\"735\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/craft-blogger-735x490.png 735w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/craft-blogger-441x294.png 441w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/craft-blogger-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/craft-blogger-690x460.png 690w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/craft-blogger.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/>\n<h2><strong>SEO<\/strong><\/h2>\nIt&#8217;s no secret that Google loves video, and so do we.\n\nWe devoted an entire blog post to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/mediavine-video-player-seo\/\">video and SEO<\/a>, but today we&#8217;re focusing on its Schema.org placement. Where is it better to output your video schema?\n\nThe answer is easy: your Recipe or How-to card should house the video and its Video Schema.\n\nThe good news is that Schema in the card (which the Mediavine video player outputs for you) will make you eligible for the rest of the Google video carousels and positions.\n<h2>User Experience<\/h2>\nRunning your content video in the recipe or how-to card is also the best place for user experience, because it connects the video to the instructional content of your post. It just makes more sense there, rather than having the video floating somewhere above the card, when the reader might not yet be ready to watch it for learning purposes.\n<h2>Revenue<\/h2>\nFinally, to maximize your video ad revenue, we encourage you to turn on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/universal-player-one-video-solution-to-rule-them-all\/\">Universal Player<\/a> to run in place of your content video within the body of the post.<\/section>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"
