In general, there are two primary ways to identify images and videos, examining images or videos to extract a unique fingerprint of the camera and using metadata associated with the images or videos (the DNA of a video).

Navigate to Google Images and select the camera icon. Use the search by image option. Upload the screenshot. Google Lens will return the search results for your screenshot (if available).

Using Google Search to Find Videos If using YouTube filters weren't helpful, you may be able to find it by typing what you remember into a Google search. If someone else is looking for the video as well, they may have inquired about it on a forum or website, which could come up in your search results.

With Google's acquisition of YouTube, new video uploads ceased in 2009, and the service was ultimately shut down on August 20, 2012. Thereafter, the web address video.google.com has been reused to host Google Videos search engine.
