If you ever find yourself scouring the internet and doing your best to describe the object that intrigued you that was recently seen on YouTube Shorts, well this new Google Lens integration may be for you.
The latest from Google is giving users the ability to easily find anything they come across on the YouTube Shorts platform, may it be clothes, technology, restaurants, and more.
The feature will soon roll out to the Shorts experience and users who receive the update can now take advantage of Google Lens’ capabilities to find things online without leaving the YouTube app.
Google Lens Is Heading to YouTube Shorts
YouTube’s support team has announced that Google Lens is soon rolling out for YouTube Shorts, which will arrive alongside the new beta that the company will share with users. This feature will now give YouTube Shorts users the chance to take advantage of Google Lens’ visual search features to find something they come across in the videos for an easier and simpler experience.
According to TeamYouTube Rob, users may take advantage of Google Lens features on YouTube Shorts when they come across videos that showcase an interesting location that users may want to visit.

Scan Videos with Lens on Shorts Beta
Through this feature, users no longer have to take screenshots, leave the app, launch Google Lens, and use its search function to help them find what they are looking for.
To access the feature, users only need to pause a video on YouTube Shorts, select “Lens” on the top menu, and then use its features like draw, highlight, or tap to search it. According to the announcement, it will roll out as a beta experience this week for YouTube Shorts users.
Google Lens Features Available
The best way to take advantage of the powerful scan and search tool from Google is to download the app, and using this visual-first function allows users to easily find what they are looking for. Users may also use it to translate printed text and use it without an internet connection, which may come in handy when traveling.
While the best option for users trying to find something is by downloading the app, users also have the chance to take advantage of Google Lens’ features via their web browsers that require an internet connection. Users only need to head to the Google search engine’s homepage and click on the Lens icon (camera icon) found within the search bar, and here, they may drop the images or screenshots of things they are looking for.
That being said, Google’s search tool has been fairly useful for many users over the years, offering users a quick and simple way of searching the web using visual cues that beat describing it using text. Google has worked on integrating Lens into its different products and platforms to help expand the visual search capabilities of their products, with YouTube Shorts now featuring the experience.
