Official statement

Google attempts to determine what type of content to display (web, images, videos, books) based on search intent. For certain highly specific product queries, systems may decide not to show videos even if they exist, as users are looking for product pages. To ensure a video is shown, it needs to be embedded on a web page using schema.org VideoObject.
