Gemini aims to make everyday interactions smoother. You can ask it to look up movies, tell you what a show is about, or control your smart lights and cameras. It does most of what Google Assistant already could – but it’s built to understand follow-up questions and keep up with casual conversations.

It can also handle more personal requests, like suggesting movies for two people with different tastes or summarising what happened in the last season of a show. You can say things like, “I like thrillers but my partner prefers comedies – what should we watch?” and Gemini will suggest a few options. You can even ask follow-up questions such as, “What happened in the last season of Stranger Things?” or “Which show is trending this week?” Also Read: Gemini 3 Flash Is Here: Google’s Fastest AI Model Yet?
Google says Gemini isn’t just for entertainment. It can explain topics in simple terms, help with quick learning, or even guide you through cooking recipes on YouTube. For example, you can ask, “Explain how volcanoes erupt for a third grader,” and Gemini will simplify it for children.
To use Gemini, connect the Google TV Streamer to your television via the HDMI port (HDCP 1.3 or later). Before using Gemini, make sure your Google TV Streamer has the latest software update and a stable internet connection. To turn it on, press the mic button on your Google TV Streamer remote.
You can check if the update has reached your device by heading to Settings > Accounts & Profiles > Voice Assistant, where a new “Gemini for TV” option should appear. The rollout will happen in phases and reach more regions in the coming weeks.
