    I have tried to set up a Video Schema Type but am getting an error in Google Search Console “Videos – Missing field ‘thumbnailUrl'”.

    The video is on Vimeo and a thumbnail is set there. I can’t see anywhere to enter or select a different thumbnail in the Schema tab in Rank Math. Please advise on how I can remove the error. Thanks!

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    1. Are you uploading a featured image to your post that has the Video Schema?
    2. Are you filling all the details needed in the Video Schema fields offered in Rank Math?
    3. Do you mind sharing a screenshot of the Video Schema settings backend?

    We look forward to hearing back from you.

    Hello,

    We are sorry but that thumbnail field is grabbed from your featured image. If you have not set a featured image, we cannot grab that information and add that to your page’s Schema.

    The alternative is to add the thumbnail via coding:

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.

    Thanks. I will look at getting featured image enabled and failing that whether we can insert the image via code.
