@Bouh I edited the answer to address your question. You can put the <h1> in the <header> if you want. The markup I provided is simply for the sake of example.

@Toastrackenigma I'm fairly certain that the <span> with the episode number is near the top left corner of the page a bit below the nav. Then there's probably the video itself, and then beneath which there is the <h1> with the name of the creative work followed by a few paragraphs of summary/description text. The semantics of the markup don't even really matter to the question tho. Google doesn't care, they're just looking for a unique <h1> to understand the content. This is splitting hairs at this point.

@Rob Although it isn't required, the standard does suggest this, and semantically it makes the most sense --- especially given the alternative presented by this answer. Semantically, a <header> represents an introduction to the following content and potentially some navigation --- I'm sure you'd agree the <h1> and <h2> tags as used in this answer are part of the introduction to the content, and thus they should be within the <header>.

<h1> and <h2> should definetly go within the <header>.

The body being the main section of your document, I don't believe the <header> and <footer> tags should be outside the main <body> tag semantically.
