No, there wasn't much discussion about video in this session. However, there was a lot of discussion about video throughout the conference. Videos are one of the hottest mediums in the online space. Google owns YouTube, so they are partial to YouTube's content and display it favorably in search results. Also, YouTube is now the #2 search engine in the world (behind Google) w/ respect to the shear number of searches performed.
I imagine that if a relevant video is on a page/website, and it's tagged properly, then it should help the overall ranking of the site.
