As it does on the Web, Ask lets YouTube users get results based on a verbose, sentence-like question rather than a specific search term. Along with relevant results, this feature will also list specific sections of different YouTube videos, so you don’t have to watch the entire clip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
To receive results in the YouTube app for TV, users can ask a question by pressing the microphone button on their remote. In addition to holding down the physical button on the remote, you can type some keywords into the search bar and then select the Ask YouTube button for a more conversational view of responses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In addition to using the feature on YouTube’s home feed, you can also hold down the mic button to ask a question while watching a video. Doing so will likely start a new search instead of triggering the existing Ask feature, which lets you ask specific questions for videos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The test is starting with a “small group of users” and is expected to be more widely available soon. Notably, Ask YouTube is currently limited to Premium subscribers aged 18 and older in the US, but the company plans to expand it to users around the world in the coming months. We expect the same criteria to apply to those watching YouTube on their TV, even though it isn’t specified.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
