YouTube is rolling out an experimental feature that could change the way you search for videos — and not everyone is thrilled, namely creators.
Similar to Google’s AI Overviews in Search, which summarize key information for queries, YouTube is testing AI Overviews to help make finding the right videos faster and more efficiently.
Now, instead of scrolling through endless thumbnails and titles, AI Overviews surfaces key video clips directly at the top of your search results.
For example, if you’re searching for “best noise-cancelling headphones” or “top museums in San Francisco,” you’ll now see a carousel of curated video segments that get you to the stuff you're looking for — and without needing to watch the entire video.
