Now, Gemini AI can answer questions about videos saved in Google Drive
Google is bringing an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered feature to Drive, which would analyse video files to answer question and to give a summary about them. Until now, this feature has helped users by summarising documents and PDFs in Google Drive while eliminating the need for users to go through the files themselves. Now, it would eliminate the need for users to go through lengthy meeting recordings or classes and present them a summarised version of the video.
According to an official Google Workspace blog update published on May 28, 2025, users can now leverage Gemini within Google Drive to generate summaries and ask questions about videos saved in their accounts. This includes requests like:
Summarize this video
List action items from this meeting recording
What are the highlights from this announcement video?
By using Gemini, users can extract key insights and information efficiently, saving significant time and effort that would otherwise be spent manually reviewing videos.
Availability and rollout schedule
Google is deploying this update gradually. As per Google, the complete rollout of this feature is expected to culminate on June 19, 2025.
The feature is currently available in English for Google Workspace and Google One AI Premium users, and anyone who has previously purchased Gemini Business or Enterprise add-ons. However, it may take a few weeks to fully roll out, as mentioned above.
How to use Gemini for videos
The new feature is accessible through Google Drive's overlay previewer or a standalone file viewer opened in a new browser tab. Currently, it is available only in English and requires that captions be enabled for the videos in the user's domain.
For administrators, smart features and personalisation must be enabled to grant users access. More details and instructions are provided in Google's Help Center.
End users can activate Gemini by double-clicking a video in their Drive and selecting the 'Ask Gemini' option, symbolised by a star icon located at the top right corner of the viewer interface.

India can talk to Pak if it takes action against terrorism: Tharoor
Senior Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has said India is open to dialogue with Pakistan, but only if Islamabad takes concrete and visible action against terrorist networks operating on its who is leading an all-party parliamentary delegation to Brazil for the 11th BRICS Parliamentary Forum, made the remarks in a candid interview with PTI Videos, stressing that 'the problem in talking to Pakistan is not the language but finding a common vision for decency and peace.'advertisement'You crack down on this infrastructure of terrorism that is visible everywhere in your country. Then, of course, we can talk,' Tharoor said, underlining that India has no issue with communication -- but rather, with credibility. 'We can talk to them in Hindustani. We can talk to them in Punjabi. We can talk to them in English,' he said. 'There is no problem in finding common ground with Pakistan. The problem is finding a common vision for decency, for peace.'Tharoor challenged Pakistan's claims of innocence, asking why internationally wanted terrorists are able to live openly and operate freely within its borders.'If Pakistan is as innocent as they claim to be, why do they give safe haven to wanted terrorists? Why are they able to conduct training camps, radicalise people, equip them with arms, and let them practice with Kalashnikovs?' he the frequently-cited notion of Pakistan's strategy to 'bleed India by a thousand cuts,' Tharoor responded sharply: 'They're not going to bleed us to death so easily. Better forget that idea.'Tharoor also noted that his delegation had effectively conveyed India's stance against terrorism to Latin American nations, including those who may have previously misunderstood India's position.'We've been very clear. International forums are not our main concern. Our concern is bilateral -- Pakistan's complete failure to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism in their country,' he whether Brazil, as BRICS host, might issue a statement condemning terrorism against Indian citizens, Tharoor said he wasn't aware of such plans. 'Honestly, BRICS has a different agenda... that's not really my brief,' he his remarks, Tharoor reiterated that India seeks peace, prosperity, and stability—but not at the cost of overlooking terrorism.'We want to be left in peace, to grow and develop,' he said. 'They don't want to leave us alone. They want to harass us. They want to undermine us.'On a question whether nations have been recognising India's stance against terrorism, Tharoor said his delegation has been to four nations—Guyana, Panama, Colombia and Brazil- so far and 'this has been very clear in all the countries we've been to'.advertisement'And I would say in all four countries, we've had a very, clear success, if that's the word, I don't like to boast of success. That's for others to judge. But we have got our message through very clearly, including to those who may have had some misunderstandings,' he said, referring to Tharoor had said Colombia withdrew a statement offering condolences to Pakistan for the loss of lives following India's military strikes in response to the Pahalgam attack after his delegation explained Islamabad's relentless support to cross-border terrorism.'And as a result of getting our message through, we have certainly been able, in my view, to come back feeling that these countries understand our situation better and express full solidarity with our struggle against terrorism, which is the main purpose of our trip,' Tharoor delegation concluded their visit with a meeting with Brazil Vice President Geraldo Alckmin.'The visit of the Indian parliamentary delegation concluded on a high note with a meeting with the Vice President of Brazil @geraldoalckmin. The delegation thanked him for Brazil's firm stand against terrorism and welcomed his emphasis on deepening bilateral ties in trade, defence, science & technology, and other key sectors,' the Indian Embassy in Brazil posted on Tharoor-led delegation is heading to Washington DC from inputs from PTITune InMust Watch

Facebook parent Meta becomes the latest American company to 'go nuclear' for AI
Meta has signed a 20-year agreement to secure nuclear power to meet the growing energy demands for artificial intelligence and other computing needs at Facebook's parent company. According to a report by Associated Press, the deal will also boost the output of Constellation Energy's Clinton Clean Energy Center in Illinois. Announced on June 3, the agreement is part of a broader trend of tech companies partnering with nuclear energy providers as AI usage surges. Financial terms were not disclosed. The Clinton plant, originally set to close in 2017 due to financial losses, was sustained by Illinois' zero-emission credit program, which expires in 2027, as per the report. The Meta deal, effective from June 2027, will increase the plant's clean energy output by 30 megawatts, preserve 1,100 local jobs, and generate $13.5 million in annual tax revenue, the companies said. 'Securing clean, reliable energy is necessary to continue advancing our AI ambitions,' Meta's head of global energy, Urvi Parekh, said. The report notes that tech giants face dual pressures: increasing energy supplies for AI and data centers while meeting ambitious greenhouse gas reduction goals. Constellation, which owns the shuttered Three Mile Island plant, announced in September a plan to restart it to supply Microsoft's data centers, the AP reports. The Pennsylvania plant was the site of the U.S.' worst commercial nuclear accident in 1979. Amazon and Google have also invested in small nuclear reactors, with Amazon announcing plans two days after Google last fall, and Google investing in three advanced nuclear projects with Elementl Power last month, according to the report. The AP report adds that 25 states passed legislation supporting advanced nuclear energy last year, with over 200 nuclear-friendly bills introduced this year, per the Nuclear Energy Institute. However, the U.S. faces challenges in scaling nuclear production, with no next-generation reactors operating commercially and only two new large reactors built in nearly 50 years, completed significantly over budget and behind schedule in Georgia, the AP states. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft are also investing in solar and wind energy, which produce no greenhouse gas emissions, the AP adds. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now
