Summary: According to a new APK teardown, it looks like Gemini will soon support video file uploads. This means that people will soon use Gemini to analyze videos and use them as a prompt. We’re not sure when Google will launch this feature.
Since the huge AI boom began, we’ve seen AI models getting smarter and gaining the ability to digest more types of media. At first, chatbots could only understand text-based input. However, there’s now a focus on AI and video. Several companies are coming out with their own video generation models. Along with that, certain models can understand videos that you upload to them.
As you could imagine, it takes quite a bit of processing power to understand a video prompt, so it should come as no shock that not many people have access to a model that can take video as input.
Google could soon let you upload videos to Gemini
Of all the companies that give you powerful AI features, Google seems to be at the top of the pecking order. The search giant lets users generate text, images, and some audio for free, with video generation coming down the pipeline.
Well, according to an APK deep dive from Android Authority, it seems that Google is gearing up to let users upload videos to Gemini. It’s important to know that this isn’t 100% guaranteed. Google put code for this feature in the current version of the Google app, but the company could change this feature or take it away in the future. While this is true, video uploads are one of the features we most expect Google to bring to the app.
At the moment, you can upload a wide range of files to Gemini. These include both media and document files. However, video has always been a blind spot. The folks at Android Authority found code alluding to video uploads in a previous version of the Google app beta. However, in version 16.13.38 beta, we actually see the file formats that the app will understand.
These are 3GP, AVI, FLV, MOV, MP4, MPEG, MPG, and WebM. This covers many of the more popular formats that people use like MP4 and MOV. So, if you need to analyze a video, then you’ll most likely be covered.
Limits
What’s interesting is that Google could allow you to upload more than one video at a time. We don’t think Google will limit how many videos you can upload at a time, but it might cap you based on the combined duration of the videos you uploaded.
There are two strings in the code that point to this limitation. One has the text “Your combined video uploads must be one hour or less” and the other one has the text “Your combined video uploads must be one minute or less.” This could point to free users being capped at a minute while Gemini Advanced users having a one-hour limit.
At this point, there’s no telling when or if Google will launch this feature. It seems likely that the company will drop this feature, as it’s too useful. If you’re waiting for some sort of announcement, there’s always the chance that the company will announce this during Google I/O, which is basically around the corner.
