This is how you can summarize any YouTube video with Google's Gemini AI
Gemini summarizes YouTube videos in seconds and answers specific questions about their content
Gemini has become a tool for those who want to save time when watching content on YouTube. This artificial intelligence from Google allows users to instantly summarize long videos and answer specific questions about what is being watched.
The feature is already available on both Android and computers with a Google account. The system is simple, fast, and useful for analyzing interviews, recipes, or tutorials without wasting time.

How Gemini works to summarize a YouTube video
On Android phones
- First, make sure you have Gemini as your default assistant.
- Open YouTube and play the video you want to summarize.
- Activate Gemini (by holding the power button or using a voice command).
- The AI detects the video and displays a shortcut: "ask questions about this video".
- Request a summary or specific details, such as "how much salt does this recipe use?"
In seconds, Gemini generates a summary with the key points and can even mark the exact minute of the most relevant segments. Additionally, you can continue asking questions to get more specific information.

On computers with a Google account
- Enable YouTube extensions in the Gemini settings.
- Paste the video URL into the chat.
- Request the type of summary: bullet points, detailed, or by chapters.
- Wait a few seconds for the content to be caused.
From a computer, the process is ideal for research tasks, quick summaries, or comparative analyses. It also helps select useful segments without having to watch the entire video.

What kind of questions can you ask Gemini about a video
Google's AI can interpret what is said or shown in the video and generate clear answers. For example, it is useful for:
- Detecting ingredients in a recipe or steps in a tutorial.
- Summarizing interviews or product reviews.
- Finding dates, brands, or results in sports summaries.
- Generating comparison tables between products.
