Does Google still show a rich result for this?

Supported, including video segments and a LIVE badge for streams. Google requires the markup to sit on a page where the video can actually be watched.

When to use it

On any page hosting or embedding a video that is central to the page.

Required properties

name
thumbnailUrl
uploadDate

Recommended properties

contentUrl
embedUrl
description
duration
expires
interactionStatistic
regionsAllowed or ineligibleRegion

Example

{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "VideoObject",
  "name": "How to connect Search Console",
  "description": "A three-minute walkthrough.",
  "thumbnailUrl": ["https://example.co.uk/thumb.jpg"],
  "uploadDate": "2026-07-28T09:00:00+01:00",
  "duration": "PT3M12S",
  "contentUrl": "https://example.co.uk/video.mp4"
}

Common mistakes

Supplying both regionsAllowed and ineligibleRegion. Use one or the other.
Reusing the same name and description across videos. Each must be unique.
Omitting the timezone from uploadDate, in which case Googlebot assumes its own.
Adding Clip key moments to a video under 30 seconds, or repeating a start time on the same page.
