This section documents the videos data returned by the Google AI Mode endpoint. Videos are part of the AI Mode response — no separate API call is needed.

​
Example request

Videos are intent-detected: send a prompt that surfaces video recommendations in the AI response. No flag is required. 
{
  "prompt": "best 3d printer to buy",
  "country": "US"
}
This produces a response containing the videos array documented below.

​
Overview

Inline video cards Google embeds inside an AI Mode answer. In observed traffic these are YouTube watch links, returned with the title, channel, duration, and a public thumbnail. The link is the canonical watch URL with timestamp parameters stripped. Videos appear in the order Google AI Mode embeds them in the answer; array index 0 is the first card shown.
