Google added More screenshots, how to mark timestamps on YouTube videos, how monitor your video performance with Search Console, the live badge docs are now merged with main video docs and so much more.

I’ve been playing around with timestamps in YouTube videos and I even asked John Mueller about this and he didn’t give me a full answer. But Lizzi posted on Twitter “If your video is on YouTube, no need to do markup. You can put timestamp info in the YouTube video description.” She even gave these tips:
If your video is on YouTube, no need to do markup. You can put timestamp info in the YouTube video description. Some tips:
– List the timestamps in chronological order
– Put each timestamp/label pair on a new line
– Link the timestamp to the specified point in the video pic.twitter.com/v9f2GU1Fjo— Lizzi Harvey (@LizziHarvey) November 14, 2019
The Live badge for video streaming:
Is your video streaming live? You can get a LIVE badge shown on your video by embedding BroadcastEvent in your VideoObject. Also, use the Indexing API to make sure Google finds your live-stream video on time. pic.twitter.com/Sd9SAdpuU9
