YouTube Experiment Will Auto-Detect Products in Videos and Provide Related Content Links (US Only)

As part of one of YouTube’s latest experiments, the video-sharing platform looks to expand beyond the “Products in this Video” feature that auto-detects specific items and will be able to generate related video links to anything featured.

Right beneath the main YouTube player, you’ll get a list of any products feature with related content for each item prominently displayed. We guess this could appear like a banner advert, but with more interactive elements. However, rather than taking you off YouTube, you’ll see videos from other channels and creators that have showcased things auto-detected within the initial video.
