Android users can now access Gemini Live’s camera and screen-sharing feature at no cost.

Google rolled out live video and screen sharing capabilities for Gemini Live in March, and now all Android users can access these tools for free. Announced during Mobile World Congress (MWC) last month, Google’s ChatGPT Voice Mode competitor now features the ability to “see” — meaning you can use your smartphone camera or share your screen to ask Gemini Live real-time questions about your immediate surroundings or the current website you’re browsing during your chats. At launch in March, this new tool was only available to paying Gemini Advanced subscribers on Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 devices. However, on Wednesday, Google shared that it is now accessible to all Android users with the Gemini app installed.

“We’ve been hearing great feedback on Gemini Live with camera and screen share, so we decided to bring it to more people,” the official Google Gemini App account posted on X. “Starting today and over the coming weeks, we’re rolling it out to all Android users with the Gemini app.”

This announcement follows a recent update where Google introduced several enhancements for Gemini at its Google Cloud Next event, including Gemini 2.5 Flash, new Workspace tools, and agentic AI.

So, how can you utilize live video and screen sharing on Gemini Live? To screen-share from the Gemini app, simply tap the “Share screen with Live” button, confirm your selection, and your conversation with Gemini Live will continue while you’re sharing. To stop sharing your camera feed or screen, swipe down from the top of your phone and tap “Stop sharing.” You can also navigate to the screen you want to discuss with Gemini, long-press your phone’s power button to access Gemini, then tap “Share screen with Live” and initiate your chat.

To use the live camera feature, long-press your phone’s power button to open Gemini, then tap the “Live” button at the bottom of your screen followed by the camera icon. Point the camera at whatever you wish to ask Gemini about (whether it’s an outfit you want feedback on or a painting for more details) and start talking aloud.

The potential applications for this technology are vast. One example Google has provided features a user pointing their phone’s camera at a home internet router to troubleshoot connectivity issues — effectively allowing Gemini to suggest the classic IT Crowd approach of “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”
