Google could not determine the prominent video on the page

"Google could not determine the prominent video on the page" Can anyone let me know how to get Google to see the videos as prominent on all of the posts to get them counted as "video pages"? Google says "video is supplementary content on the page" (see screenshot). I understand that it could be because there`s a header, because there`s a podcast audio player, and because there`s copy on the page. Do you think I can just move the rest of the content further down, does content need to be removed, or should I shorten or remove the top section, or something else? The client wants the audio player on the post pages, but should I insist on removing the audio player? If they rank as video pages, maybe it`ll negatively affect organic ranking. Is it even worth it (I assume it is) for them to rank as "video pages"? Any input is welcome!

Richard Hearne: For the example URL you provided, I can only see 1 video on the page. This error normally comes up when you have multiple videos. It can normally be fixed by adding the (prominent) video to your schema markup. I can see schema from Rankmath, but there is no Video node. I`m not sure if they support Video in schema? If so, try adding the video and then see if this fixes this error. If not, it may be possible to hack a separate schema block into your Elementor Video block.Answers to your questions:1. From my experience, this error is due to multiple videos on the page. I cannot see multiple videos on the example URL - can you confirm this is also affected? Also in my experience, this has nothing to do with other content on the page - moving/removing content is unlikely to fix this.2. Can you explain where the audio player is on the example URL? Is it delivered in a element?3. Only upside in my experience. No downsides here.
