Google is expanding access to its Gemini Live camera and screen sharing features for Android users. Previously, these tools were only available to those with a Gemini Advanced subscription. Now, free users can also use them through the Gemini app on their Android devices.
With the Gemini Live camera feature, you can show your phone’s camera view to Gemini. This allows the AI to see what you are pointing at and help you with questions about objects, text, or scenes in real time. For example, you can ask Gemini to identify an item or read text from a document using your camera.
The screen sharing feature lets you share your phone’s screen with Gemini. This can help you get assistance with tasks on your device, such as navigating settings or troubleshooting an app. You can start screen sharing directly from the Gemini app.
The update is rolling out widely, so you may see these features appear in your Gemini app soon if they are not already available. Google has not announced any restrictions for free users, but the features may continue to improve over time.
To use the new features, make sure your Gemini app is updated to the latest version. You can find the camera and screen sharing options within the app’s interface. If you do not see them yet, they should become available as the rollout continues.
