There is simply too much content on YouTube and not enough time to watch it all . We are unable to view it all at once, which is most likely why you are here. With Gemini, you may use an extension to summarize YouTube videos. Thus, if you’re short on time and just want to skim the highlights Gemini offers, you’ll be good to go. Here’s how to use Gemini to rapidly describe any YouTube video without further ado.
Using Gemini on Mobile to Summarize YouTube Videos :
Android users have it simpler when it comes to summarizing YouTube videos on their phones thanks to the specialized Gemini app. Take these actions to achieve that:
1- After copying the URL of the YouTube video you wish to summarize, use the Gemini Android app .
2- Here, tap the profile icon in the upper-right corner, then choose Extensions from the drop-down menu.
3- Next, locate the YouTube Extension toggle at the very bottom by scrolling down. I had no trouble with it because it was enabled by default for me. You can, however, turn it off for yourself if such is the case.
4- Return to the Gemini text field on the app’s home screen, then paste the copied URL there. To start the summary, click the send icon.
5- To utilize the YouTube extension, you can also use “@” and tag it. After that, Gemini will show you the best videos related to the topic you typed in, or you may paste the link.
Moreover, you can include prompts next to a link so that Gemini may refine the summary even more. You can instruct it to post a specific time stamp, summarize a video, or even concentrate on a specific area of the video.
Using the Web Version of Gemini to Condense YouTube Videos :
1- Go to the official Google Gemini website and log in using the Google account of your choice.
2- Click the settings cogwheel in the lower left corner of the Gemini chat screen after you’ve landed there.
3- Choose Extensions from the option that appears.
4- If the YouTube extension is disabled, locate it and switch it on.
5- Return to the chat window, put the YouTube URL that you copied into the text field, and then press Enter or click the send symbol. For more accurate summarization, you can tag the extension once again, add extra prompts, and use the same techniques.
That should start the summary, and Gemini will analyze the specific YouTube video for you in a few seconds.
