Some users may now be able to upload videos from their phone’s gallery to the Gemini app and follow up with relevant questions. If you’re wondering how to go about this, here is a step-by-step tutorial.

How good is Gemini at analysing videos?
Android and PC users can now upload videos from their device’s internal storage to Gemini. iPhone users may have to wait for a while for this feature to reach their devices. Previously, Google had added the option to share a live video feed on the Gemini app. However, if your query pertains to a video you found on the internet, sharing your live video feed will not serve any purpose unless you play that video on another device.
In this scenario, you can either share your phone’s screen with the AI assistant or directly upload the video to the Gemini app. The latter also comes in handy if you want to know more about a video you recorded using your phone. Gemini is pretty good at recognising the objects in a video. It can accurately describe what’s going on in the video and recognise (famous) faces. If you want to know where to buy a particular object that makes an appearance in the video, Gemini can help you with that as well.
