video is not the main content type of the page

With each update of the Google search index, video pages (only such pages are on the site) are removed from the indexed pages. Google swears that the video is not the main content of the page, but this is not the case - in fact, only one or two videos are posted on each page , There is nothing else.
Maybe it's a Google glitch?

The video is not the main content or primary focus for this page; only videos that are the main content of the page are eligible for indexing. Here are some examples of page types where the video is supplementary to the textual content, and not the primary focus of the page:
A blog post where the video is complementary to the text rather than the primary content of the page
A product details page with a complementary video
A video category page that lists multiple videos of equal prominence

Google offers a list of requirements to have a video indexed. If you have nothing on the page except videos, it will not index that page (or video).

To find out what they expect to find, see the requirements here:
