Gemini app can now identify if a video was created or edited using Google’s AI tools.
Uploaded videos must be no larger than 100 MB and no longer than 90 seconds.
When you upload a video, Gemini scans it for the SynthID watermark.
Google has introduced a new feature in its Gemini app that makes it easier for people to tell whether a video was created or edited using Google’s AI tools. This update is part of Google’s push to improve transparency around AI-generated content and help users better understand what they are seeing and hearing online. With this new feature, anyone can upload a video to the Gemini app and ask a simple question such as, “Was this video made using Google AI?” Gemini will then analyse the video and provide an answer with helpful details. This feature is available in all countries and languages supported by the Gemini app.
SurveyThe technology behind this feature is called SynthID. SynthID is an invisible digital watermark that Google embeds into content created by its AI systems. Unlike visible labels or watermarks, SynthID cannot be seen or heard by people.

When you upload a video, Gemini scans it for the SynthID watermark across the entire file. It does not just give a yes-or-no answer. Instead, it explains what it found and where. For example, Gemini might tell you that AI-generated content was detected in the audio between certain seconds, while the visual part of the video shows no signs of AI involvement. This gives users a clearer context and helps them understand exactly how AI was used.
There are a few limits to keep in mind. Uploaded videos must be no larger than 100 MB and no longer than 90 seconds.
This update builds on a feature Google introduced last November, when Gemini gained the ability to check whether an image was real or created by AI. By adding video support, Google is taking a big step forward, especially as AI-generated videos become more realistic and more common online.
