Yes another couple of new "issues" from Google via Google Webmaster Tools:

Why video is not indexed -
  • No thumbnail URL provided
    Google could not determine the prominent video on the page

This is for a background video used as the "hero" image right underneath the header. I've seen other people commenting that videos too far down the page caused this issue, but these videos are above the fold. I've inserted these as BG videos in TC and have a module inserting text and/or images over the top (done with Page Builder).

It's BG video so I can't have a thumbnail, and it really can't be any more prominent than it is.

Is there something we can do to fix this?

Hi
I have no immediate solution for this prominent problem. You can try to use the "bg max" plugin to see if it can replace the bg video with more options

for the thumb problem you must setup the "poster" in the video background options in template creator
