    YouTube is Adding Lens to Shorts with Real-Time Visual Search: How It Works

    Discover how YouTube's new Lens feature helps users search and learn instantly from Shorts videos.

    YouTube is adding a new feature called Lens to Shorts videos so that users can discover more about the things they are watching by searching right from the video. As per a recent Google blog post, the feature will roll out in beta over the next few weeks.

    For example, when you’re watching a Short featuring an animal, plant, or landmark, you can use Lens to quickly recognize it or learn more information. If there is a landmark in the background, Lens can even inform you of where it is and get the video’s location pin.

    YouTube announced that during the first phase of testing, Lens will not serve any ads in search results. The feature will also not be supported on Shorts with shopping affiliate links at the start of rollout.

    Furthermore, YouTube has also explained that Lens does not rely on biometric facial recognition to recognize individuals. Rather, if a public figure in a video is recognizable, Lens might deliver pertinent search results. Nevertheless, it will not try to recognize private individuals.

    Lens for YouTube Shorts: How to Use

    Google described the process of how to make use of the Lens feature in its blog post. Here is how you can do it:

    1. Open the YouTube app on your phone and tap at the bottom of the screen on “Shorts.”
    2. When a Short starts playing, tap on the screen to pause and then go to “Lens” in the top menu.
    3. You will initially get the terms and conditions screen. Swipe it away by tapping anywhere but within the box.
    4. Tap, highlight, or draw on the paused video to search with Lens.
    5. To translate captions, tap on “Translate” in the bottom right-hand corner.
    6. To leave, tap the “X” in the top-left corner or swipe downwards at the top of the results panel to go back to the video.

    Conclusion

    The integration of Google Lens into YouTube Shorts marks a significant step toward making short-form videos more interactive and informative. With real-time visual search, users can instantly identify and learn more about what they see, turning everyday scrolling into a smarter, more engaging experience. While the feature is still in beta and comes with some limitations, it sets the stage for a more intuitive way to explore the world through video.

    As YouTube continues to evolve, features like Lens show the platform’s commitment to blending AI-driven discovery with seamless user experience. Stay tuned as the rollout expands, and get ready to see more by simply tapping your screen.
