Google Brings Voice Controls and AI Media Tools to Google TV in Gemini Preview

Google plans a phased launch starting on select TCL TVs, limited to devices on Android TV OS 14 or newer.

Overview

  • At CES 2026, Google previewed Gemini features that let viewers adjust picture and sound with natural-language requests without leaving what they are watching.
  • A new large-screen response format adds high-resolution imagery, video context, and real-time sports updates, with a Dive deeper option for narrated, interactive overviews.
  • Gemini will search Google Photos for specific people or moments and can apply artistic styles or assemble cinematic slideshows with on-screen Remix and Edit options.
  • On-TV creation is supported by Google's Nano Banana for images and Veo for video, enabling users to generate new media or reimagine existing photos and clips.
  • The update arrives first on select TCL models before reaching other Google TV devices in the coming months, and it requires an internet connection and a Google account with availability varying by language and country.
