Video sitemap

Is there a way to generate a video sitemap so google indexes some of my posts as videos?

All the plugins I’ve found are supposed to work with wp posts but I’m pretty sure they won’t index sp posts

video sitemap?  not sure what that is…  a sitemap of just videos on your site??  not sure I have ever seen something like this – certainly a first request…

of course, we have several plugins that generate sitemaps of your forum… but just as url with content…

how would this work?  would the post have to only have a video??  does the sitemap link to the page or just the video?  does the wp ones determine if there is a video on its own or is there a method for you to indicate this?

I’m no expert but I’d say it is a different sitemap xml so google can index your videos as videos and not regular links

There are a few wp plugins that look automatically for videos in your wp posts, it’d be interesting to be able to do the same with the sp posts
