Overview
- Google is experimenting with bringing YouTube’s Gemini-powered Ask feature to TV apps across smart TVs, gaming consoles, and streaming devices.
- Eligible viewers will see an Ask button on the watch page and can use suggested prompts or the TV remote’s microphone to ask questions.
- The tool provides in‑context responses tied to the current video, including answers, summaries, related content suggestions, and jumps to specific timestamps.
- Access is restricted to a small group of users on select videos in select regions, with language support limited to English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, and Korean.
- The test extends a feature first launched on mobile and desktop in 2024, and some outlets report Premium Labs users are among the initial testers.
