YouTube Testing Google Assistant Integration On Android That Offers Search Suggestions

YouTube is now testing the ability to “get suggestions for topics related to videos you’re watching” on Android that are powered by Google Assistant.

This curious “Do more with Assistant” experiment can be enabled from youtube.com/new if you’re a Premium subscriber. When watching certain videos, opening the video description and scrolling down will reveal “suggestions (e.g. About this movie, person, place, etc.) related to the topics in the video you’re watching.”

Tapping the card launches a Google Assistant search and shows a Knowledge Graph panel. You’ll see musicians for songs and movies when watching trailers.

The experiment is “only available on Android mobile phones in English” until October 26.
