Compatible TVs can capture photos from your Google Photos account and remix them on your larger TV screen. If you’ve remixed photos on your phone using the Google Photos app, they’ll feel familiar. You can give your photos a different aesthetic, such as oil painting or art deco, and save the AI-edited image to your Google Photos.
You can edit your photos with Gemini on your TV, if you want to see them on a bigger screen.
If you want, you can also create your own photos and videos with AI on TVs. You can upload reference photos from your phone by scanning a QR code and saying your prompt out loud to the TV. While creating on a larger screen might be great for some, I imagine a more common example would be for people who want to create as a group, like parents entertaining their young children or at a party — no need to huddle around a phone or laptop.
These Gemini AI features will be available to TVs running Android TV OS 14 or later, generation limits will apply. The new features will be available first on select TCL devices, and will be rolled out to more Google devices over the next few months.
