Of course, it’s all about updates, and we’re sure there will be even more exciting things in the near future, especially when it comes to hands-free controls. That said, it looks like a new feature is now rolling out to Google TV, making the “For You” page a little more informative than before.
Google is looking to try something new
The update was announced via the Google TV help pagesharing that a new experimental feature will be rolling out to some current Google TV users. The change will come in the form of an addition to the “For You” page, adding a “News Brief” section.
This new section will provide users with curated news and news clips from YouTube. The idea here is to show users “concise, narrated previews and associated videos of major news stories.”
As you can imagine, Google uses Gemini here in order to provide this concise information. Users should expect frequent news brief updates, providing important information at a glance.
That said, this is an experimental feature and Google is looking for feedback you can provide using the form on this page. Google TV is available on various streaming devices and is also built into many smart TVs.
