Google TV started testing a new Gemini-powered feature earlier this year that offered users an overview of the day’s top news stories. At the time, the News Brief feature was only available for a small handful of users on the For You page. However, Google had revealed plans to add a News Brief widget to the Ambient mode’s on-screen hub. This Ambient mode widget is now starting to show up for more users.
9to5Google reports that the News Brief feature is finally getting a wider release on the Google TV Streamer and Chromecast with Google TV in the US. You can enable it by selecting the new Top news option in the Ambient mode settings, after which you should see a new Top News card in the top-left corner of the screen.
