People who search for short videos are revolutionizing with the advent of Google Lens. Users can now scan real world objects using a phone camera and get some relevant YouTube Shorts instead of typing search queries. It's very handy for discovering videos related contextually to what you're looking at now — say for makeup product, recipe’s ingredient or gadget.

On Android users can search for YouTube Shorts by simply opening the Google app, tapping the Lens icon and scanning the object or screen you would like to search for. An image is taken by you and sent to Google Lens which will process it and show you relevant search results, as well as a list of relevant YouTube Shorts. The visual search method is especially useful when you don’t know exactly the keywords you need but have general ideas of what you want about in video content.

While it doesn’t make you a content creator, if you are a casual YouTube viewer Google Lens can keep your content discovery process in line. Particularly useful when you stumble upon something interesting in daily life and wish to learn more (and more quickly) through short and inspiring videos. Google Lens and YouTube Shorts are integrating to reshape visual content consumption.
