GoogleOther-Video is Google’s secondary video-focused crawler, used for internal research, large-scale video analysis, and non-Search-facing processing tasks. The crawler fetches video files, thumbnails, transcripts, and related metadata but does not directly influence Google Search or Google Videos indexing. Crawl activity is typically lightweight, broad, and oriented toward tasks like dataset creation, model evaluation, or experimental video understanding within Google’s internal systems, separate from the responsibilities of Googlebot-Video. RobotSense.io verifies GoogleOther-Video using Google’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine GoogleOther-Video traffic is identified.
