Recently, Google Discover feed is full of relevant data that has started displaying TikTok style video clips as a test.
With the news of TikTok getting banned in many countries, companies have joined the rat race to come up with a perfect alternative to it. Finally, Google too has joined the race.
Google Discover feed is full of short video clips from popular video-sharing apps such as Tangri, Trell, and others.
According to 9to5Google report, the video clips can be opened in the web browser by just simply tapping on it. The logo of the platform is displayed on the top, while the name of the video is shown at the bottom. Additionally, you will get to use controls including sharing, mute, or unmute. It also comes with a progress indicator. In case, you don’t like a video, you can hide it from the menu.
However, Google is playing safe by limiting the features to only a few users. So far, only one user has reported seeing the feature. This is why it is difficult to verify. Also, the company hasn’t announced anything officially. Unless they pass any comment, we cannot be sure of what’s going on.

For those who want to access Google Discover can do so from their android or ios smartphones. For ios users, they have to use the Google app. It displays news and topics of things that interest you.
