Google is supercharging its Gemini Live AI assistant with the real-time camera and screen-sharing support, taking it far beyond a basic voice interaction tool. These new features mark a significant leap, making Gemini Live more visual, interactive, and hands-on — effectively turning your phone into a smarter, AI-powered assistant that can see and help in real-time.
For now, this next-gen experience is rolling out to Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 users who subscribe to Gemini Advanced (part of the Google One AI Premium Plan at $20/month). But support is coming soon to more Android devices running version 10.0 or higher, including tablets and foldables.
How to Use the New Features
-
Update your Gemini app to the latest version.
-
Ensure you're subscribed to Gemini Advanced via the Google One AI Premium Plan.
-
Open Gemini Live, where you’ll see two new icons:
-
📷 Camera Icon (left): Share live video from your front or rear camera.
-
📱 Screen Share Icon (right): Broadcast your entire phone screen in real time.
-
This means no more struggling to describe a tech issue or a cluttered room — just show Gemini directly, and get real-time, contextual help.
What You Can Do with the New Gemini Live
Google outlined several use cases that highlight how useful these features can be:
-
 Organize Your Space: Point your camera at a messy desk or drawer, and Gemini will offer personalized decluttering tips.
-
 Creative Brainstorming: Share your screen while working on a design, editing content, or even online shopping to get AI-powered feedback and suggestions.
-
 Tech Troubleshooting: Use your camera to show a broken appliance or gadget, and Gemini can walk you through possible fixes.

 Personal Shopping Assistant: While browsing online, let Gemini compare products, offer style suggestions, or help you coordinate outfits in real-time.

 Skill Development & Feedback: Need input on a blog post, slideshow, or photo layout? Share your screen and get instant advice from the AI.
Languages and Accessibility
Gemini Live currently supports over 45 languages, reinforcing Google's aim to make AI helpful and accessible to a global user base. By giving Gemini the ability to see and interact, Google is pushing the assistant beyond text and voice — toward being a true visual collaborator.
As Google rolls this out to more Android devices, expect Gemini Live to become a powerful new standard for AI on smartphones — not just for productivity, but for everyday life.
