Gemini offers several handy features in Google Drive, including the ability to summarize files, discuss topics based on the information from one or more files, and quickly retrieve information from files. So far, the chatbot’s summarization and Q&A capabilities have worked with text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and PDFs stored in your Drive. Now, Google is extending support to videos.

Google Drive users can now call upon Gemini to get summaries and ask questions about videos in their Drive. In a blog post highlighting the new feature, Google says that the chatbot will now accurately respond to queries like “Summarize this video,” “List action items from this meeting recording,” and “What are the highlights from this announcement video?”

This new feature should help users save a lot of time, allowing them to get a quick summary or extract information without actually watching videos. The feature is currently available in English only, and Google says you can access it using Google Drive’s overlay previewer or a standalone file viewer.

Gemini’s summarization and Q&A capabilities for videos are available for Google Workspace subscribers on the Business Standard, Business Plus, Enterprise Standard, Enterprise Plus, Gemini Education, and Gemini Education Premium plans. Google One AI Premium subscribers can also utilize this feature, along with those who have previously purchased the Gemini Business or Gemini Enterprise add-ons.
