If you’re a Google TV user, then you might want to “tune in” (pun intended) to this new update for the platform, which brings several new features for content and entertainment. The updates introduce advanced AI functionality and expanded media integration, which allows the platform to double as a shared content generation hub.
The update integrates Gemini-powered tools including Nano Banana and Veo, which will allow users to generate and edit custom images and videos directly on the big screen using voice commands. For example, users can modify family photos with visual additions or generate video clips by simply describing a scenario. These tools will arrive first on Gemini-enabled TCL Google TVs within the United States.
Personalized media management also receives an update via Google Photos, and users can now tap into Gemini’s natural language processing to search their photo libraries by voice, making it easier to find specific memories like vacations or birthdays. The “Remix” feature likewise allows users to apply artistic styles—such as oil painting or watercolor—to their images, while an updated dynamic slideshow mode transforms the TV into a digital gallery of collages and curated albums.
Google adds that its TV platform is expanding its content offerings to meet the growing demand for “snackable” media, which includes instantly accessible feeds for short-form content such as YouTube Shorts. As for availability, the AI image and video tools will initially be limited to specific hardware, while the dynamic slideshow features will arrive for eligible Google TV devices worldwide.
