Do videos count as duplicate content?

If we allow users to embed our videos on their site, would that count as duplicate content?

I imagine note, given that Google can't usually 'see' the content of videos, but just want to double check.

Hey Michelleh,

This won't count as duplicate content.  The more embeds, the better your videos will do based on the content that it is embedded within.

If Google sees a lot of embeds, it means that your video is helpful for people and should get more attention.

The only way it could be duplicate content is if you load the video to multiple sites (it's better to load to one location on your site and share the EMBED feed) that way you also get credit for the inbound links too, and if you transcribe the content of your video feed for the site and populate that across multiple other sites. If you just transcribe the content of the video and leave it as is, you'll be fine
