Would be impossible for it to do it so quickly if wasn't trained ahead of time on all YouTube videos. Fine tuning AI is one thing but training takes alot more time. This is simply running inference on its current knowledge set.

I'd expected more from Google since they own both Gemini and YouTube. Shouldn't it be more integrated?

I literally built an extension to copy and paste the transcript from Youtube to Gemini with customizable prompts. It does this way more reliably. Free of charge too coz it's copy paste, no AI costs or API key needed.

If curious it's called justTLDR

It's not actually watching the video and processing visuals, it's simply pulling the transcript via the YouTube api. So no, it wouldn't be "impossible" because what you're inferring is not what it's doing. If it did that, it would be pretty useless considering the amount of videos that get uploaded to YouTube every day.
