Within the Gemini tab, a \u201cCreate\u201d button lets users experiment with generative AI tools Nano Banana and Veo. These are rolling out first on Gemini-enabled TCL TVs in the U.S., with broader device support expected later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nano Banana, Google\u2019s image-generation and editing model, lets users transform photos using simple voice prompts. Users can swap outfits, change backgrounds, or generate entirely new scenes. Google is positioning the feature as a shared, living-room experience, encouraging playful prompts like asking the AI to make \u201cmy dad wear a ridiculous outfit\u201d to get a laugh from family and friends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veo, on the other hand, allows users to create clips from scratch or animate still images by describing a scenario. For instance, \u201cmake my grandfather moonwalk in space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"404\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/GoogleTv-nano.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3117458\"  \/>Image Credits:Google<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Photos is also getting an upgrade on Google TV. With Gemini-powered search, users can quickly surface specific memories, like vacations or birthday parties, without digging through their entire library. Results are displayed in a browsable format, making it easy to view images full-screen or launch a slideshow. There\u2019s also a new \u201cRemix\u201d feature that lets users apply artistic styles such as watercolor or oil painting to their photos.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, \u201cDynamic Slideshows\u201d introduces animated layouts, frames, and color treatments.\u00a0 Users can turn any Google Photos collection into a vivid, TV-ready slideshow by selecting Google Photos in the screensaver settings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"447\" width=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Short_videos_GoogleTV.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3117457\"  \/>Image Credits:Google<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond AI tools, Google is also leaning into the growing popularity of short-form video. Coming soon, a new \u201cShort videos for you\u201d row will appear on the Google TV home screen, starting with content from YouTube Shorts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The move comes on the heels of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/streaming\/912898\/youtube-shorts-feed-limit-zero-minutes\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube <\/a>recently introducing an option to hide Shorts on mobile, suggesting mixed user demand. Still, Google hints this could expand beyond Shorts in the future, potentially to other platforms. <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2026\/02\/24\/instagrams-tv-app-is-launching-on-google-tv-devices\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> has already expanded its TV app to Google TV devices in the U.S. earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>When you purchase through links in our articles, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/techcrunch-affiliate-monetization-standards\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">we may earn a small commission<\/a>.
