The video tutorial explains Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), a security feature that allows or restricts resources requested from another domain. It covers the default behavior of APIs regarding cross-origin requests and the importance of configuring CORS policies to enable resource sharing. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on setting up a CORS policy using a builder pattern, allowing any header, origin, and method. It emphasizes the significance of CORS in preventing integration issues and ensuring smooth third-party interactions with APIs.
