What happened

YouTube is ending testing for its conversational “Ask” AI feature on TVs and rolling it out to all users soon.

Why it matters

The “Ask” button has been a part of YouTube’s mobile app since 2023 , but it was only ever in testing until an official release last year . Once Google’s conversational AI was in a good place, the tool found a home on the mobile app while leaving the TV version out of the loop.

What to watch next

That’s changed as YouTube announced the TV app is getting access to the conversational “Ask” AI button. It will work in much the same way as the Android and iOS YouTube apps and on the web. Once you hit the “Ask” chip in the video’s control HUD, a menu shade will appear from the right. Voice input will be detected through the remote’s built-in mic, and from there, you can ask anything about the video.
