Google continues to enrich Workspace ’s AI capabilities by expanding Gemini AI’s capabilities to Google Drive . Now, in addition to automatically summarizing documents and PDFs, Gemini can provide summaries for videos also in Google Drive . This makes it easier to understand content without having to watch the entire clip.
Gemini in Drive features a familiar chatbot interfacethat allows users to request a summary of material or extract targeted information. For example, it can identify and report important points from recorded meetings or highlight the highlights of a product presentation. It is a powerful productivity that saves time.

The tool requires subtitles to be enabled on videos and can be accessed via the Google Drive overlay previewer or a new browser window. The new feature is initially available in English, for Google Workspace users, Google One AI Premium users, and those who have purchased Gemini Business or Enterprise add-ons. Full rollout may take a few weeks.
The new Google Drive upgrade with Gemini AI integration for video is a particularly important development, especially for professionals and teams that manage large volumes of audiovisual content.
