basis: Video rich-result eligibility
cur: 6 of 6 videos shown
opt: every shown video has a VideoObject
ok: true
why: a player Google cannot describe earns nothing; with VideoObject the page is eligible for a video result. A facade with VideoObject is fine
- id: video_object_orphan
k: VideoObject declared for a video the page does not show
basis: video rich result guidelines (video must be on the page)
cur: none
opt: none

why: schema claiming a video that is not on the page is the FAQ-parity mistake in video form

basis: video rich result required properties
