Hi,
The video format appears on the layout only apply for Standard & Classic layouts.
With other layouts, it doesn't appears - it just appears when you open the post detail.
And, you should set a featured image for all your posts - with video format, you will see a video icon on the featured images.

How do you get a featured image with a video icon? What do you mean by video format? Is that a plugin?
