In a move aimed at making its advanced AI tools more widely available, Google has started rolling out Gemini Live’s camera and screen sharing features to all Android users at no cost. The update, which was first shared in a post on X, reflects the company’s response to positive feedback and growing interest in these interactive capabilities.
Until recently, Gemini Live with camera and screen features was exclusive to Advanced users and only supported on select devices like the Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 series. Now, the rollout signals a broader push to bring real-time, AI-driven assistance to a wider audience across Android devices.
We’ve been hearing great feedback on Gemini Live with camera and screen share, so we decided to bring it to more people ✨
Starting today and over the coming weeks, we’re rolling it out to *all* @Android users with the Gemini app. Enjoy!

Originally introduced under the banner of Project Astra, Gemini Live was designed to combine voice and vision to create a more natural and responsive AI experience. The newly expanded tools allow users to go beyond typical voice queries, now they can share their screen or use their phone’s camera to interact with the AI in real time. Whether it’s asking questions based on what’s visible on the screen, identifying objects, getting live troubleshooting help, or brainstorming creative ideas, the assistant adapts in the moment.
This opens up a wide range of practical uses. A user could point their phone camera at a piece of hardware to figure out what’s wrong, or share their screen to get help editing a document or exploring an unfamiliar app interface. Gemini can even analyze signs, packaging, or documents, making it a handy tool for travel or everyday problem-solving.
Earlier in the month, Google had begun offering the feature to Pixel 9 and Galaxy S25 users, hinting at a larger release. That early access phase was a stepping stone toward today’s broader availability, which no longer requires specific devices or advanced access.
By bringing these features to all Android users through the Gemini app, Google is continuing its effort to make AI more practical, more responsive, and more deeply integrated into users’ daily tech experiences. The rollout has already begun and is expected to reach all Android users in the coming weeks, gradually transforming the way people interact with their smartphones.
