Video Fact Checker — AI-Powered YouTube, TikTok & Instagram Reels Credibility Tool

Use BSmeter's free AI video fact checker to analyze YouTube videos, TikTok clips, Instagram Reels, and podcasts. Instead of waiting hours or days for a published fact-check, paste a link and BSmeter's AI extracts the verifiable claims, gives each a 0-100 credibility score with its reasoning, and searches the web for sources on the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium). Results arrive within seconds to a few minutes after you submit, depending on length. They're AI-generated and can be wrong, so check the linked sources. Free with a BSmeter account.

What you get

Results Right on the Video: The Chrome and Firefox extensions show BSmeter's claim-by-claim results on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, so you can check a video without leaving the page.
Three Analysis Modes: Roast (uncensored and joke-first), Analyze (neutral and evidence-first), and Learn (explanatory) — the same claim check, told three different ways.
Live Web Grounding: BSmeter searches the live web for evidence on the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium) and links what it finds, so verdicts rest on sources you can check rather than the AI's memory alone. Sources can be imperfect and results can be wrong — the links let you verify.
Community Comment Insight: Beyond the AI read, BSmeter surfaces the sharpest YouTube viewer comments — fact-checks, corrections, and expert context — in sync with the moment they're relevant, so you get the crowd's perspective alongside the analysis.
Free Chrome Extension: Add the BSmeter extension to Chrome or Firefox to check YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Reel videos without leaving the page. Free with an account — 3 analyses a day on the free plan.
Per-Claim Credibility Score: Get an overall video credibility score plus a 0-100 rating for each claim. Every rating comes with the AI's reasoning, and the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium) comes with links to the sources found so you can check them. Green means credible, red means BS.

Frequently asked questions

What is a video fact checker?: A video fact checker is a tool that analyzes video content — including YouTube videos, TikTok clips, Instagram Reels, news segments, and podcasts — to assess whether the claims made in them hold up. AI-powered video fact checkers like BSmeter transcribe the audio, identify the factual claims, score each one, and search for evidence on the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on BSmeter's Basic and Premium plans).
How does BSmeter's video fact checker work?: BSmeter extracts the transcript from a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, or podcast link, then uses AI to identify each factual claim and give it a 0-100 credibility score with its reasoning. For the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium), it searches the web for supporting or contradicting sources and links them. The result is a per-claim breakdown and an overall video rating, usually ready within seconds to a few minutes of pasting the link.
Can I fact-check YouTube videos for free?: Yes. BSmeter is free with an account (sign in with Google or email): 3 analyses a day on videos up to 30 minutes, for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and podcasts. The Chrome and Firefox extensions show results right on the video. Basic ($3.99/mo) gives 15 analyses a day on videos up to 60 minutes, and Premium ($8.99/mo) covers videos up to 2 hours.
How accurate is AI video fact-checking?: Accuracy depends on the complexity of the claims and the availability of reliable source material. BSmeter's results are AI-generated and can be wrong, and the sources it finds for the weakest claim (the 3 weakest on Basic and Premium) can be imperfect, so treat each score as a starting point and check the linked sources yourself.
How is BSmeter different from traditional fact-checking sites?: Traditional fact-checking sites like Snopes and PolitiFact rely on human journalists who research and publish fact-checks on selected claims, which takes hours or days. BSmeter uses AI to give you a claim-by-claim read of the specific video you paste, usually within seconds to a few minutes. Human fact-checkers go deeper on the claims they cover; BSmeter's results are AI-generated and can be wrong, so it works best as a first pass.
Does BSmeter have a browser extension for video fact-checking?: Yes. The BSmeter extension for Chrome and Firefox shows claim-by-claim credibility scores right on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram pages. It's free with a BSmeter account, and analyses count toward your plan's daily limit.
