From Google Search Console:

Search Console now supports a new video indexing report. This report shows indexed pages on your site where Google found a video, whether Google could index the video, and if not, why not. According to the new report, there are video indexing issues on your site.

Determine what specifically GSC is checking for in <video> elements and find a way that Nebula can monitor for these itself– maybe just in Audit mode, or if it is simple enough to do all the time even better.

Vimeo videos are included in this, so it might be looking inside of iframes or however the Vimeo embeds parse themselves.

Last week, we enhanced the structured data so that if the post format is Video then it will output the structured data for a video rather than an article. However, that metadata does not include specifics about the video itself– additional data is needed such as from a custom block or post format template.
