What is Video Carousel

The Video Carousel is a SERP feature showing a horizontal, scrollable row of video thumbnails for queries where video content is relevant. Videos are primarily from YouTube and display titles, channels, and durations.

Example

Searching 'how to tie a tie' shows a video carousel with tutorial videos from various YouTube channels.

How to apply it

Create video content for informational queries, optimize YouTube titles/descriptions, use Video schema on embedded videos, create engaging thumbnails, add timestamps.

Tip:Videos often appear for 'how to' queries. If you see video carousels for your target keywords, consider creating video content - or you're missing a major traffic opportunity.
