Google Featured Video

Featured videos are a type of featured snippet, but instead of pulling a text answer from a webpage, Google shows a video that best answers the search query at the top of the SERP.

Featured videos are most common for "how to" queries, where a visual demonstration is more helpful than a written explanation. What makes them particularly useful is that the video jumps straight to the specific moment that answers the question. Users get the answer they need instantly, without having to watch the whole video.
