Information panel giving topical context

Note: In response to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), you may see information panels with links to learn more about COVID-19. In some places, you’ll see info on COVID-19 in local languages with links to local sources, such as health ministries and centers for disease control.

When you search or watch videos related to topics prone to misinformation, such as the moon landing, you may see an information panel at the top of your search results or under a video you're watching.

Information panels show basic background info, sourced from independent, third-party partners, to provide more context on a topic. The panels also link to the third-party partner’s website if you want to learn more.

These information panels will show regardless of what opinions or perspectives are expressed in a video.

These information panels are not used in any decisions about monetization. Learn more about our Advertiser-Friendly Content Guidelines.
