In addition to Gemini Live free Android users. This free availability was first announced over a month ago in a gradual rollout.
Over the past few days, users have encountered the “Share your camera or screen with Gemini Live” prompt. Doing so adds two new buttons to the fullscreen interface, while you can also access “Share screen with Live” from the Gemini overlay anywhere from your phone.
While talking, you can scroll an app or website and Gemini will use that for context. There’s a vibration before Live resounds, and you can pull down the notification shade to “Stop sharing” at any time.
Meanwhile, you get a viewfinder in Gemini Live when the camera is active. (You cannot turn off your screen and stream.) Tap the button in the bottom-right corner to switch to the front-facing lens, with Google noting how: “For better results, capture objects with steady movements.”
In the “coming weeks,” Gemini Live can take action with apps/Extension support for Google Calendar, Keep, Maps, and Tasks. For example: “Planning a night out with friends? Discuss the details in Gemini Live, and it instantly creates an event in your Google Calendar. Craving deep-dish pizza? Ask, and get the latest details from Google Maps.”
In the longer term, we saw Project Astra being able to control your Android phone. As a reminder, Google showed off camera and screen sharing last May and it started rolling out this March.
Google is also beginning to roll out camera and screen sharing to Gemini Live on the iPhone and iPad. We’re seeing reports of that going live, but it’s not yet widely available. The rollout will continue over the coming weeks.
