Using Gemini on Mobile to Summarize YouTube Videos
Android users, you’re in luck! Here’s how to get those speedy summaries:
- Snag the YouTube video link you want summarized, then open the Gemini Android app (it’s free!).
- Tap your profile icon (top-right corner) and choose “Extensions.”
- Find “YouTube Extension” and make sure the toggle is switched on.
- Back on the main screen, paste your link into Gemini’s text field and hit send.
- Fancy some extra control? Tag “@YouTube” before your link, or add prompts like “summarize the first 5 minutes” for laser-focused results.
- iOS users, the process is super similar. Just remember to start in the Google app and switch to Gemini first.
Using Gemini on the Web to Summarize YouTube Videos
Prefer using Gemini on your computer? It’s a breeze:
- Copy your desired YouTube video link.
- Head to the official Google Gemini page and log in with your Google account.
- Click the little settings cog (bottom left), then select “Extensions.”
- Locate “YouTube Extension” and give that toggle a flick to turn it on.
- Back to the chat screen! Paste your YouTube link and press Enter. Like on mobile, you can tag the extension or add prompts for a customized summary.
Let Gemini Work Its Magic
If you get a “Gemini isn’t supported…” message on the web, it’s likely because you’re using a work email. Admins need to enable Gemini for work accounts. The quickest fix? Switch to a personal Google account.
