Google Search now shows key moments in video results

Google on Tuesday announced an update for videos in its search results. Now, you won’t just see relevant videos in Google Search results, but also will be able to see the most relevant parts of long videos, said Google Search product manager Prashant Baheti in his blog. This will be on the basis of timestamps given by the video content creators and publishers.

The update could be useful in discarding irrelevant videos with misleading thumbnails. However, it remains to be seen how the new update by Google will change things for publishers or if the markup in videos will influence a video’s ranking on Google search results algorithm.
