YouTube has begun testing the 'Ask' button with Gemini integration on TVs

YouTube has started testing the 'Ask' button with Gemini support. The feature appears as part of an experiment for a small group of smart TV, gaming console, and media box users. This became known from the updated Google support page.

What is known

'Ask' is a Gemini-based tool trained on the content of a specific video. After pressing the button, the user receives ready-made prompts with questions on the topic of the video or can ask their own question. Interaction occurs through the on-screen interface, as well as using a microphone.

Google specifies that the feature can be activated with the microphone button on the remote control—if the device supports it. Examples of questions include: "what ingredients are used in this recipe?" or "what is the story behind the lyrics of this song?".

Currently, 'Ask' is only available to a limited number of users. The company stated that they will inform about further expansion of the feature after testing is completed.
