"Url blocked by robots.txt." on my Video Sitemap

[Critical_Mass]

I'm getting a warning about "Url blocked by robots.txt." on my video sitemap - but just for youtube videos? Has anyone else encountered this issue, and how did you fix it if so?! Thanks, J

Hi there,

It's definitely possible that you are blocking a folder or subfolder in your robots.txt file that is preventing Google from crawling some of your videos. Could you possibly share a link to the robots.txt file so I could look at it specifically? Also, Google Search Console should tell you which URLs are being blocked specifically so that could be useful as well.

Happy to help — just please send some more specific details. Thanks!
