YouTube New Button: YouTube has currently activated a new ‘Ask’ button which will work with the help of Gemini AI and is currently operational for select users. This feature helps viewers interact more with YouTube’s video content. With its help, viewers can ask questions about the video content they are watching on the YouTube platform, get a summary of it, ask questions about its main concepts and even take part in quizzes. This feature will be available to access on all platforms of YouTube. There is a strong possibility that like the Gemini chat assistant, it will also be able to suggest prompts for quick replies.

YouTube’s ‘Ask’ button can currently be found below selected YouTube videos and video players along with the Gemini icon. It is currently positioned between the “Share” and “Download” options. It can be viewed on iPhone, Android and Windows platforms and through this feature viewers can ask questions about the video they are watching.
