Gemini for TV is rolling out to Google TV Streamer devices starting today, allowing almost anyone to try it out. Since it launched back in September, Gemini for TV has only been available on a limited number of smart TVs. If you didn’t have one of those devices, you were out of luck. Gemini for TV will soon be much more widely available — all you need is a TV with an HDMI port to connect a Google TV Streamer to, HDCP 1.3 or later, and a reliable internet connection.
Gemini for TV replaces Google Assistant, offering the same basic voice assistant capabilities but with a more conversational tone. For instance, you can ask Gemini for TV to suggest a movie for you and a friend to watch based on your preferred genres, or ask it to summarize the last season of a show you’re watching. You can also use Gemini for TV for smart home tasks, such as showing you a camera feed.
Gemini for TV will be rolling out “over the next few weeks” to Google TV Streamer devices, so don’t worry if you don’t have it on your device yet. You can check to see if the update’s available by going into the settings on your Google TV Streamer, selecting your account from “Accounts & Profiles,” and selecting “Voice Assistant.” If your device is eligible for the update, you should see an option for “Gemini for TV.”
