Hello Vjay, First of all a video sitemap is an XML file that tells search engines where videos can be found on a website. It helps search engines understand that it is indeed a video file, what the video content is, and what the technical specifications of the specific video are.

For more information or find the easy steps to create & submit a video site map , Please refer to the link.

Hey Vijay,  I think  that Vimeo won't change any things.Sometimes the only issue which you can get when the videos are streamed from Vimeo is the 'embed code' issue.

So from here you can get  How do I Post Vimeo video . & If you get the embed code issue then Video Embed Issue will resolve the proble.

I hope that you will find the solution.

Hi Vijay,

I'll probide you with a sitemap template. Are you using Vimeo Pro? Or just a standard vimeo license?

Thanks,

Phil

No it does not change. Does not matter what platform you are running, try try tools from the post above and you ' ll see

Serge,

I'm afraid it does matter what platform you are using to host the videos - the platform will define a lot of elements of the sitemap and method of embedding is also incredibly important.

[vijayvasu]

we are using Vimeo Pro mate, sorry took a while to get back, how are you.

My email is vj@gunshotdigital.com

thank you so much and I look forward to working with you.

Best regards,

Vijay

Hi Vijay, make sure you're using the old (flash based) vimeo embed code for the video and then use the sitemap below as a template for structuring yours.  You need to fill in the gaps for  anything written in bold italics.
