A New Way to Talk to Your TV

Google is expanding its new voice assistant, Gemini, to more TVs. Previously, only a select few smart TVs had this feature. Now, if you own a Google TV Streamer, you can give it a try.

What You Need

• A TV with an HDMI port
• A stable internet connection
• Your Google TV Streamer ready to go

Gemini vs. Old Google Assistant

Gemini is designed to be more conversational than the old Google Assistant. You can:

• Get movie suggestions based on your and your friends' preferences
• Ask for a summary of the last season of a show
• Control smart home tasks, like viewing a camera feed

How to Get the Update

The update is rolling out over the next few weeks. To check if it's available:

1. Go to your Google TV Streamer settings
2. Navigate to "Accounts & Profiles"
3. Select "Voice Assistant"
4. If eligible, you'll see an option for "Gemini for TV"

What This Means for Google

This is a major step in making Gemini more accessible. Will it be better than the old assistant? Only time will tell. For now, if you have a Google TV Streamer, it's worth a try!
