Video search engines are Internet-based search engines that crawl the web looking for video content. These search engines either provide the functionality of uploading and hosting the video content on their own web servers or they can parse the video content, which is hosted externally.
Here, we will perform an advanced video search and reverse image search using the YouTube search engine and YouTube Metadata tool.
