Gemini app can now understand and respond to questions about videos that you upload.
The new video upload and analysis feature seems to be rolling out for both free and paid users.
However, it’s not yet available on the web.
Google’s Gemini app is getting smarter and more helpful. With its latest update, the app can now understand and respond to questions about videos that you upload. So, besides documents and images, you can now ask Gemini questions about your own video clips. According to 9to5Google, the new video upload and analysis feature seems to be rolling out for both free and paid users.
This feature reportedly works on Android (via the Google app version 16.23 beta), iOS, and even for users of Gemini 2.5 Flash and Pro models. However, it’s not yet available on the web. So, if you try uploading a video from the web, you’ll likely see a message saying the file type is unsupported.

Using the feature is simple. Just tap on the plus (+) button inside the Gemini chat window and choose either Gallery or Files. If the option is active for your account, you’ll be able to select video files. If not, videos will appear grayed out and won’t upload.
Once a video is uploaded, you can ask Gemini specific questions about it. This new feature adds to the existing ability to ask questions about YouTube videos by simply pasting the link in Gemini. Now, with support for personal video uploads, users get more freedom to analyse their own footage.

It’s important to note that Google hasn’t updated the Gemini app’s camera to record videos directly yet, according to the report. So, right now, you can only upload existing video files, not shoot them within the app.
With this update, Google is clearly moving toward making Gemini more than just a chatbot.
