Google has announced that the screensharing feature of Gemini Live, which allows users to see and respond to what’s on their camera and screen, will now be available for free to all Android users through the Gemini app. This change comes after the feature was initially launched earlier this month for Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 users, with plans to limit access to those with a Gemini Advanced subscription.
Expanded Access
The decision to make the screensharing feature free was influenced by positive feedback from users. Google stated, “We’ve been hearing great feedback on Gemini Live with camera and screen share, so we decided to bring it to more people.” The rollout for all Android users will begin today and will continue over the coming weeks.
How It Works
For those unfamiliar with the feature, it allows users to hold their phone up to their surroundings—such as an aquarium—and share what the camera sees with Gemini, which can then provide information and insights about the objects in view. Google has released a video demonstrating the functionality, showcasing how users can interact with the AI in real-time.
Competition in the AI Space
This announcement comes on the heels of Microsoft’s launch of a similar AI tool, Copilot Vision, which is now available for free in the Edge browser. As competition in the AI space heats up, both companies are striving to enhance user experience and accessibility.
With Gemini Live’s screensharing feature now free for all Android users, Google is expanding access to its innovative AI capabilities. This move not only reflects the company’s responsiveness to user feedback but also positions it competitively against other tech giants in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Users can look forward to exploring this feature in the coming weeks as it becomes available on their devices.
