Search results being tested with thin video snippets
Google is testing a new video format for its search results in the mobile search results. The tests shows a video search result snippets with smaller video thumbnails in the results.
Users have discovered under certain search results that Goggle is displaying snippets of videos from YouTube to help answer the query. When searching users are seeing the video box has a shrunken thumbnails… a snippet of the video description or transcript, and the video length. Clicking on the text takes you to the video overlay on the SERP. Clicking the title moves you directly to YouTube.
It is still an open question whether or not this user interface will see wider testing.
