Gemini can now watch and analyse videos in Google Drive

Google has said that their Gemini AI can now watch and analyse videos in Google Drive to offer insights to users. Gemini was already integrated in Drive and could summarise documents or folders and gather and analyse data. 

In case users have missed a recorded meeting, they can ask Gemini to highlight the important cliff notes from it instead of watching the entire video.

The tool works based on Google’s auto-generated video captions and is accessible only from the Gemini overlay in Drive or in the standalone Drive file viewer. But if the Google Workspace account is managed, the admin could have disabled automatic captioning. 

If Gemini still doesn’t understand the captions, users will need to go to the Manage Caption Tracks setting to generate them.

The feature is also available for Google One AI Premium users and will be gradually rolled out to Gemini Business or Enterprise add-ons subscribers.
