Google triggers its Gemini voice assistant by default.

Switch to AV1 codec and use video boost
This is for the Pixel 10 series, but these phones can now be recorded in AV1 video format. This saves a lot of storage space, so if you are a person who shoots a lot of videos, that’s the clever way to do it. However, AV1 is not universally supported. For example, you shouldn’t be uploading an AV1 video to Instagram, but you need to check if you want to upload it to support it. To switch to AV1, open the Camera app, click the gear icon on the left, and then click the three dots in the upper right. Scroll to the bottom and click Video format,choose AV1.
Speaking of videos, Google’s Pro Pixel phones, because Pixel 8 Proalready able to use a function called Video enhancement. This sends your lens to the cloud for processing, improving color, brightness and stability while reducing noise. Depending on the length of the video, processing can take 20 minutes, several hours, or even a day. You will be notified when you are ready until then you can use the native video you originally took. This is a wise way to improve video quality (the Pixel 10 Pro can even improve it to 8K), and this will be great even if Google just improved native video capture. To enable video boost, switch to the Video tab in the Camera app, click the gear icon in the Camera app, and switch it.
