Gemini Live Expands Access to Android Users
Over the weekend, Google unveiled its Gemini Live feature for all Android users, significantly broadening access to this innovative AI assistant tool. Previously available only to select devices such as the Pixel 9, Galaxy S25, and Gemini Advanced subscribers, the feature is now ready for a wider audience, as reported by Android Central.
This anticipated rollout aligns with Google’s earlier announcement regarding the expansion of the Gemini app’s capabilities. The core functionality of Gemini Live allows users to share their video or screen in real-time, enabling a more interactive and engaging experience.
The underlying concept of this tool is straightforward yet powerful: the AI assistant can see what you see through your camera or screen. This capability opens up a myriad of possibilities for users. For example, if you’re grappling with a tech issue, such as troubleshooting a malfunctioning router, Gemini could provide real-time assistance by guiding you through the necessary steps.
To utilize this feature, users need only to point their camera or scroll down within the app and engage in conversation with Gemini to seek answers. The tool is accessible via the “Share screen with Live” button in the Gemini app, making it easy to initiate a session. While it may not fully embody augmented reality, it certainly approaches that realm, offering an intriguing avenue for exploration and practical application.
