Google Videos

recommended: allow
Operated by Google search engine

The Google Videos bot is the search engine crawler for Google Video Search.

How to identify it

User-agent contains any of:

  • Googlebot-Video

robots.txt

Well-behaved crawlers honor robots.txt. To control Google Videos:

Allow full access

User-agent: Googlebot-Video
Allow: /

Block entirely

User-agent: Googlebot-Video
Disallow: /

Grey-area scrapers ignore robots.txt. Botscope enforces your policy at the edge or origin regardless — see how →

See Google Videos on your own site

Botscope shows every bot and AI agent hitting your site — and lets you allow, challenge, or block each one. Observe first, enforce when you're ready.
