Ask This Video is an upcoming Gemini-powered generative AI feature that aims to assist you in asking questions about any YouTube video you are watching right now. Rather than searching and scanning through various parts of the video for the desired piece of information, you can tell Gemini to search within the video and it will do so without going beyond the boundaries of the video. This is the best feature if you are looking for a certain piece of information in a YouTube video and do not want to search for it.
What does “Ask This Video” Feature mean?
The “Ask This Video” feature is perhaps one of the most eagerly awaited features in Gemini. It enables users to pose queries regarding the content of a YouTube video and get quick answers related to the context. This capability uses Gemini’s multimodal comprehension to analyze both the audio and visual aspects of the video in order to offer a more complete answer. Ask This Video can be quite helpful during the process of browsing through videos and searching for information.
How to access “Ask This Video” feature?
To activate Ask This Video, you simply need to press the power button and bring up Gemini on your Android phone while watching a YouTube video.
