Google Expands Gemini Live with Camera and Screen Sharing to All Android Devices

Google has officially expanded the Gemini Live features, including Camera and Screen Share, to all compatible Android devices. Initially introduced last week for select models like the Google Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 series, this new functionality is now available for any Android device that supports the Gemini app. However, it’s important to note that access to these features still requires a Gemini Advanced subscription, meaning they are not available for free to all users.

The expansion announcement was made via the official Google Gemini app account on X (formerly Twitter), where the company shared that the Gemini Live features had received positive feedback from users. Google emphasized that the rollout is happening gradually and will eventually reach all devices capable of running the Gemini app, offering more users the ability to use the new tools.

The Gemini Live features, including real-time camera assistance and screen sharing, were first previewed at Google I/O last year. After nearly a year of development, the features were shown again at the 2025 Mobile World Congress (MWC), where they garnered attention for their advanced capabilities. Developed by Google DeepMind as part of Project Astra, these tools enable the Gemini AI chatbot to provide live, contextual support through a user’s device camera feed or screen capture, allowing for more dynamic and interactive assistance.

These upgrades mark a significant step in Google’s push to enhance its AI offerings. By integrating real-time visual and screen-based interactions, Gemini Live aims to revolutionize how users interact with AI, providing hands-on, personalized help directly on their mobile devices. As the rollout continues, more Android users will be able to explore how these cutting-edge features can improve their experience with the Gemini platform.

Google Unveils Veo 2 AI Video Generation Model for Gemini Advanced Users

Google has recently unveiled the Veo 2 artificial intelligence (AI) model, now available to paid subscribers of Gemini. This new AI tool allows users to create eight-second video clips by simply providing text prompts in natural language. The Veo 2 model, which was first introduced in December 2024 as a successor to the original Veo model, is also integrated into Google’s Vertex AI platform and plays a key role in powering YouTube’s Dream Screen feature. This launch marks another significant milestone in Google’s push to enhance its AI capabilities within the Gemini ecosystem.

Currently, the Veo 2 model is accessible exclusively to those using Gemini’s paid subscription, Gemini Advanced. Free-tier users will not be able to access this feature. The rollout is taking place globally and will be available in all languages supported by Gemini. However, users should note that while the feature is being introduced gradually, it may take some time before it reaches all eligible subscribers worldwide.

The Veo 2 model allows users to generate high-quality videos in 720p resolution, maintaining a 16:9 aspect ratio. The video clips are produced in response to detailed text prompts and can be downloaded in MP4 format. Users can also share these clips directly on popular social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Google has set a monthly limit on the number of videos each user can generate, and notifications will alert users when they are nearing their quota.

The Veo 2 AI model also brings significant advancements in terms of realism and cinematic detail. It can interpret technical film terms, such as camera lenses, movements, and cinematic effects, allowing users to be highly specific in their prompts. This enhanced understanding enables the AI to produce more tailored and professional-looking video content, making it a valuable tool for creators who want to experiment with video production in a more intuitive and accessible way.

Google Expands Access to Gemini 2.5 Pro with Public Preview and New Pricing

Google has officially transitioned its Gemini 2.5 Pro AI model from experimental preview to public preview, allowing broader access for developers. Initially launched last month with limited rate caps, the advanced language model is now available with increased usage limits via the Gemini API and Google AI Studio. This shift opens the door for more robust experimentation and development, especially for those looking to integrate high-performance AI into their workflows.

According to Google, early interest in Gemini 2.5 Pro exceeded expectations, prompting the company to expand availability. While the model is now accessible through the Gemini API in AI Studio, it is still pending rollout on Vertex AI. Developers can take advantage of the new access tier immediately, giving them greater flexibility and speed in deploying AI-driven applications.

With expanded access comes clarified pricing. Google has introduced a two-tier pricing structure for Gemini 2.5 Pro. Under the standard tier, which includes up to 200,000 tokens, the model is priced at $1.25 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens. Input tokens cover all forms of content including text, images, and audio, while output tokens are calculated based on the model’s reasoning and response generation.

For developers who exceed the 200,000-token threshold, the higher tier pricing kicks in at $2.50 per million input tokens and $15 per million output tokens. Meanwhile, Google is continuing to offer the experimental version of Gemini with limited access at no cost. Emphasizing affordability, Google claims its rates are highly competitive — especially when compared to rivals like Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet, which charges $3 and $15 for input and output tokens respectively.
