SleekView for Yoast Video SEO
SleekView joins wp_yoast_indexable rows to the _yoast_wpseo_video_* postmeta blob and renders one row per post with video host, duration, thumbnail, sitemap status and last-scanned timestamp ready to sort and filter.

Yoast detects the embeds, the table reads the inventory
Yoast Video SEO is the Yoast SEO Premium add-on that scans posts for embedded videos, caches their metadata (host, duration, thumbnail), writes VideoObject schema and emits a video sitemap at /video-sitemap.xml. The data lives in _yoast_wpseo_video_* postmeta keys per post, joined to the standard wp_yoast_indexable row each post gets.
The default Yoast UI surfaces those fields inside the post editor and exposes a sitemap URL on the front end. There is no per-post overview that answers questions like which posts have a usable embed, which posts are hosted on YouTube versus Vimeo, which posts have not been rescanned in over six months, or which posts the producer queue still needs to add a video to. SleekView turns every post with video metadata into a row in a sortable, filterable inventory table.
Yoast Video SEO keeps owning embed detection, schema output and sitemap generation. SleekView is a read-and-write layer on top of the same postmeta, so the sitemap continues to render exactly as Yoast emits it and inline edits flow through Yoast's own indexables service.

Audience
Who uses SleekView for Yoast Video SEO
Video producers
Scope the table to one host and one duration bucket to review the inventory for a planned migration off a deprecated platform, then export the list as a production queue.
SEO managers
Filter to posts the video sitemap excludes and confirm Google has every eligible video, then queue the missing-thumbnail posts for a manual fix before the next index refresh.
Content leads
Filter to a content cluster and check whether every cornerstone post has a supporting video, then queue production for the gaps.
The bigger picture
Video inventory is data, not a sitemap link
Yoast Video SEO does the unglamorous work of finding embedded videos, caching their metadata and emitting a video sitemap, but the data lives one post at a time and the sitemap is invisible to the humans who actually plan the next production sprint. A content lead cannot tell from /video-sitemap.xml which posts host on a deprecated platform, which have stale thumbnails or which cornerstone posts still lack a supporting video. SleekView treats the Yoast Video SEO postmeta and the indexable rows as the structured records they already are.
Posts become rows with host, duration, sitemap status and last-scanned columns, sortable and filterable, with inline action to trigger Yoast's own rescan. The plugin keeps owning embed detection and the sitemap; SleekView adds the inventory surface video planning actually needs at scale.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Yoast Video SEO
No. Yoast Video SEO still owns embed detection, schema generation, sitemap output and the per-post video fields. SleekView reads the same _yoast_wpseo_video_* postmeta and indexable rows as a sortable table, and inline edits write back through the indexables service so the sitemap and head tags refresh exactly as they would after editing through Yoast's own UI.
Yes. Yoast Video SEO is a Premium add-on and requires Yoast SEO Premium to be active. SleekView reads the data once both are installed, and works on any license tier above that minimum.
Yes. Yoast Video SEO detects self-hosted MP4 and WebM embeds alongside YouTube and Vimeo and tags the host accordingly. SleekView surfaces self-hosted as one of the values in the Host column, which is useful for sites moving content off external platforms.
Yes. The grid exposes post_type as a filter, so a view can be scoped to posts, pages, products or any custom post type that has video embeds. Useful for ecommerce sites that want to track product videos separately from the editorial library.
Yes. SleekView exposes Yoast's own video rescan as a row action where useful. The call runs through the plugin's own functions so the cached embed metadata stays consistent with the sitemap and the schema.
No. Queries hit indexed postmeta keys and the grid paginates. Even sites with tens of thousands of video posts stay responsive because only the visible page of the underlying table is fetched.
Yes. Any saved view exports to CSV with the current filters and columns applied. Content leads typically export the missing-thumbnail list or the stale-scan list as a brief for the next quarter of production work.
Yes. Each site keeps its own indexable rows and Yoast Video SEO postmeta. SleekView respects that boundary so each site only shows its own video posts on its own admin.
