Google AI Overview videos schema - cloro

This section documents the videos data in the Google AI Overview. Videos are in the order Google shows them in the AI Overview answer. Array index 0 is the first card.

Videos in AI Overview

Video structure

Field	Type	Description
`url`	string	Direct URL to the video
`title`	string	Video title
`thumbnail`	string	Thumbnail image URL
`source`	string	Channel or source name
`platform`	string	Video platform (e.g., YouTube)
`date`	string	Upload date
`duration`	string	Video duration

Only url is guaranteed. Every other field is best-effort: Google does not attach every piece of metadata to every video card, and thumbnail and duration in particular are only available when Google renders the rich carousel preview (roughly 60% and 15% of videos in practice). Check for field presence before reading.
