At times, getting vital details from long YouTube videos and grasping particular subjects might entail viewing numerous clips. Luckily, we can utilize Google's AI tool, Gemini, to simplify this task.
Gemini can condense crucial details from lengthy YouTube videos at no cost and with ease. To achieve this, you can seamlessly integrate YouTube into the Gemini chatbot , and we'll now outline the steps to do so:
»Activate the YouTube extension in Gemini
Gemini comes with a set of built-in integrations, including YouTube, but it's good to check whether these integrations are already enabled or not. Here's how to check:
- If you're using an Android phone, go to the Gemini app, and if you're using an iPhone, you can access the Gemini bot from the Google app.
- Tap your profile picture and then choose "Extensions."
- Enable the YouTube option.
If you're using your computer, go to Gemini website in your web browser and sign in to your Google Account.
- Click "Settings" in the sidebar.
- Choose "Extensions" and then turn on the YouTube option if it is not already enabled.
»How to use Gemini to summarize YouTube videos
Here's a rephrased version:
To summarize a YouTube video with the Gemini robot, follow these steps:
- Begin by navigating to the YouTube website and playing the video you wish to summarize.
- While the video is playing, copy the URL from the address bar (for desktop users) or from the share menu (for mobile users).
- Then, paste the URL into the specified input box on Gemini for requests. Write your request, such as "Summarize this video."
- You'll then receive a summary of the video, containing the essential information.
It's crucial to understand that Gemini relies on the video's comments and description to generate the summary. If these are lacking, Gemini won't be able to provide a summary.
Moreover, note that the YouTube video summarization feature is available only in specific languages.
You can also ask Gemini for video recommendations on a particular topic. Additionally, you can request summaries for specific videos or all suggested videos to grasp the main points before watching for further details.
