Google has made a big change to its AI tool, Gemini Live. The most exciting feature—screen and camera sharing—is now free for all Android users. This tool lets you show Gemini what’s on your phone screen or what your camera sees, and Gemini will respond in real time.
What Can Gemini Live Do?
Use your phone camera or screen to get instant help
With this new feature, you can point your phone’s camera at an object—like a flower or a shoe—and Gemini will tell you more about it or find online deals. You can also share your screen, and Gemini will help you based on what you’re doing. It’s like having a smart assistant right by your side.
No More Subscription Needed
Previously paid feature is now free to attract more users
At first, Google made this feature only for people who paid $19.99 per month for a Gemini Advanced subscription. But after seeing how much users loved it, Google changed its plan. Now, everyone with the Gemini app on Android can enjoy it for free.
When Will You Get It?
Rolling out soon to all Android users
Google says the camera and screen-sharing tools will be available to all Android users in the next few weeks. You just need to install or update the free Gemini app from the Google Play Store. No subscription or payment is required.
How to Use the Free Feature
