Google's Gemini now supports users controlling TV settings with voice commands.
Google has started rolling out updates to Gemini voice assistant, starting with the latest TCL Google TV, allowing control over video, audio, and other TV settings.
Google stated that users need to grab a remote or say "Hey Google" to activate Gemini and then request changes to their TV settings.
Google provided the following examples:
• Adjusting audio and video settings such as brightness, contrast, screen volume, sound mode. For example, you can ask Gemini to set the screen mode to sports or increase the bass.
• Resolving screen and sound issues by describing what you're experiencing; Gemini will adjust settings to resolve them. You can say things like "The screen is too dark" or "I can't hear the dialogue clearly."
• Optimizing settings for content by adjusting settings based on what you're watching. For example, you can say "It's movie night tonight; make it feel like a cinema."
• Finding the setting menu without clicking through multiple screens; just tell Gemini to open the display settings.
Starting with TCL models
This system update will begin this week and roll out progressively over the next few weeks to TCL's 2025 QM9K model and 2026 X11L, QM9L, QM8L, RM9L models. Initially, it will only be available in the United States.
You can check for system updates by navigating to Settings > System Information > System Updates.
The Gemini update is expected to expand to more TV models and regions later, but specific timelines have not been provided. Likely candidates include Google TV streamers, Walmart On, Hisense U7, U8, UX, etc.
By the end of 2026, Gemini is expected to expand further with additional Android 14-equipped Google TV devices and more languages. The minimum device requirements include at least 2GB of RAM.
