Official statement

Google only indexes in video mode pages where the video is the main content. Videos are not considered main if they are found in blog articles that complement the text, additional videos on product pages, or pages listing multiple category videos.

TL;DR

Google only indexes in video mode pages where the video is the main content. If a video is simply supplementary to the text, it won't be indexed as a video. Optimize your video pages to be recognized as main content.

Elles ne sont généralement pas considérées pour l'indexation vidéo si aucune n'émerge comme principale.
