Unlock Gemini Live’s Screen Sharing and Camera — Free for All Android & iOS Users
A few months ago, Google said that one of the coolest things about Gemini would soon be available to a lot more people. That time has now come. Google just revealed that Gemini Live, which lets you share your camera and screen, is now free for everyone to use on both iOS and Android smartphones.
This powerful feature was first released in January only for the Pixel 9 series and the Samsung Galaxy S24 and S25 series. It is now available to everyone.
What Is Gemini Live Screen Sharing?
Users can share their device’s screen or camera feed directly with Gemini using the screen-sharing tool. This lets Gemini help them in real time and interactively without having to type. Users will see a new button called “Share screen with Live” when the feature is ready.
Just press the lens button to use your camera. You can now ask Gemini questions about anything that shows up on the camera screen without taking a picture. You can point at food and ask if it fits your diet or if it fits your eating tastes. You can also point at clothes and ask for ideas on what to wear.
Open Gemini and tap “Share screen with Live” to show someone else your screen. Gemini will listen and answer until you press “hold” or “hang up.”
Real-World Examples
In a test, Google showed how the feature would work by having a user look at a story and ask Gemini to share some interesting facts about the golden ratio. Gemini replied that the golden ratio can be found in strange places, like the circular shapes of pine cones and sunflower seeds. In another case, Gemini gave a short overview of a great Renaissance scientist and talked about their ideas while reading a story about them.
Why It Matters
Gemini’s information base hasn’t changed, but this function makes it easier to work with it without having to type. Google says that live conversations with Gemini can last up to five times longer than text-based chats. This shows how appealing and easy it is to talk and see each other.
Now called Google Beam, the project makes 2D video calls feel real by turning them into 3D experiences. It includes simple ways of moving, smiling and maintaining eye contact for real-seeming talks. Together with HP, Google intends to introduce Beam-powered devices to companies.
