Thanks for the update.
I’ll check back in a few weeks to see if your videos either get or STAY indexed in Google. Even though you can submit a video sitemap and it gets accepted by Google webmaster tools, that doesn’t mean your videos will stay indexed. I’ve spent the last month researching this and in addition to a lot of mis-information and especially confusing information, I still do not think it will work.
Believe me, I WISH it would, because I have a number of YouTube-hosted videos that need video sitemaps. Anyway, I sincerely wish you success and will check back later after the dust has settled.
Hello,
Please keep us informed of your progress. It is my understanding that videos hosted on YouTube can not be used in Video Sitemaps. I know you can paste the YouTube embed code into a video sitemap and it may get indexed in Google, but I’ll be very surprised if it stays that way. There is some good information at reelseo.com about this subject. http://www.reelseo.com/how-video-sitemaps/
Good luck!
