As per the blogpost, ‘we’re taking the first steps in Bard’s ability to understand YouTube videos. For example, if you’re looking for videos on how to make olive oil cake, you can now also ask how many eggs the recipe in the first video requires.’
The company added, “We’ve heard you want deeper engagement with YouTube videos. So we’re expanding the YouTube Extension to understand some video content so you can have a richer conversation with Bard about it.”
According to a report by Techcrunch, the YouTube Extension for Bard was launched back in September, but could only be used to look for specific videos.

New age-related protections
Google Bard has also expanded its access to teens in several countries. The company states that it has age-appropriate protections in place so that they can have good experience using it. As per the official statement by Google, “We believe Bard can be a helpful tool for teens when they need a little extra inspiration and motivation on their ideas, hobbies, and plans, or when they want to better understand topics quickly in a style that works for them. Whether it’s learning homework concepts or getting support through big milestones like applying to their first job or preparing for college, Bard can help.”
