Introducing Video Overviews and upgrades to the Studio panel in NotebookLM
What’s changing
Since introducing Audio Overviews last year, NotebookLM users have created podcast-like, detailed summaries of key topics from their uploaded sources. To build upon this functionality and provide users with a more educational and visual experience, we’re excited to introduce Video Overviews.
Users can now turn documents, slides, charts and more into engaging explainer videos that are narrated by an AI voice. Video Overviews are expertly-crafted visual walkthroughs of the content you provide, pulling in images, diagrams, quotes, and numbers from your source material. Similar to Audio Overviews, you’ll also have the option to customize your Video Overview by specifying topics to focus on, indicating your learning goals, describing the target audience, and much more. At this time, Video Overviews are only available to users over the age of 18.
We’re also introducing upgrades to the Studio panel where you would create things such as audio overviews and notes in NotebookLM, which includes multiple audio overviews and content sharing. Specifically, users can now:
- Generate multiple Audio Overviews in a single notebook. This means you can now create versions in different languages from the same source material, or generate a set of Audio Overviews that each focus on different subsections of your sources.
- Generate shareable links for content like Audio Overviews and Video Overviews, which cannot be shared outside of your domain.
Additional details
- Video Overviews are now rolling out to all users in English, with support for more languages coming soon.
- Only users with access to your Notebook can view content you share via a shareable link.
