In what conceivable world could the layout possibly make it more clear to Google bot that this embedded video is INDEED THE “main content” of the page, and therefore eligible for video indexation?
(there is no further content on the page after the video embed)
So the directive becomes clear: Put the video immediately after the h1, and text that describes the video, if any is actually “allowed”, then it must go after to ensure video is “above the fold” on mobile render?

Above the fold in the crawled viewport seems reasonable – probably want to have VideoObject schema too.
John Mueller
It really needs to be a super-obvious video play-page, especially on mobile.
I’ve seen folks tweak their HTML a bit too, to move the video elements/objects a bit more into the front & center.
It shouldn’t be a random video that’s accessory to text, it should be primarily a video
Terry Van Horne
Have video with transcript under it….
IMO, they’re looking for schema but that’s a guess based on can’t think of anything else since already in a category called video and video in <H1> and title.
