Google's NotebookLM AI Can Now Turn Your Documents into Visual Explainer Videos

August 1, 2025, 11:20 AM

Google’s NotebookLM service has rolled out "Video Overviews," a tool that converts user-uploaded documents into narrated slideshows. The update is live for English users now, with other languages coming later.

How Video Overviews work:

NotebookLM’s AI analyzes your text, PDFs, or slide decks.
It auto-generates slides combining key quotes, data points, and visuals (like charts/diagrams when possible).
The final slideshow includes AI-generated narration explaining the content.

The feature is ideal for quickly building tutorials, visualizing reports, or simplifying complex ideas using your own materials.

Within a single notebook, users can now save multiple Video Overviews from the same source documents. Videos include 10-second skip controls and adjustable playback speed. Multi-video support will roll out to all NotebookLM users over the coming weeks. One caveat: Video Overviews currently only work in English.

Author of articles and news

As a technical journalist for VGTimes, I equally enjoy discussing the latest graphics cards and delving into the intricacies of classic RPGs. Since 2018, I have been writing about games and hardware; my experience in sound engineering has allowed me to understand the nuances of audio technologies well, and I am always on the lookout for something new in the realm of gaming hardware. When I'm not writing about technology, I'm likely exploring the post-apocalyptic wastelands in Fallout, managing a colony in RimWorld, or commanding armies in Hearts of Iron IV. For me, gaming is more than just a hobby—it's a passion that fuels my creativity and keeps me connected to the ever-evolving world of technology.
