Google Unveils Gemini Live: Real-Time Screen and Camera Sharing for Android and iOS
May 26, 2025
In addition to Gemini Live, Google introduced a mobile version of its NotebookLM app, which now includes an 'Audio Overview' feature for offline listening to AI-generated summaries.
Google aims to make the Gemini suite more personal, proactive, and powerful across various devices, enhancing user experiences.
Users can access Gemini Live directly within the existing Gemini app, without the need to download a separate application, by utilizing new icons for camera and screen-sharing.
The rollout of these features is gradual, with full availability expected for all iOS users in the coming days.
NotebookLM allows users to utilize a system-level share feature to easily send content from other apps into their notebooks, further boosting productivity.
These new capabilities were previously limited to Android devices, but now iPhone users can also benefit from the expanded functionalities.
Gemini Live significantly enhances user interaction, allowing conversations that are five times longer than traditional text-based chats, providing personalized assistance for tasks like troubleshooting and shopping advice.
This update enhances Gemini's functionality as a real-time problem solver, utilizing multimodal processing to understand visual inputs and deliver relevant assistance.
For example, users can show landmarks or items through their camera to receive instant information, while screen sharing allows for help based on displayed content such as websites or documents.
Instructions for sharing content include tapping the respective buttons and following on-screen prompts, with an option to stop sharing from within the app or via the active Screen Sharing card.
Google is actively soliciting user feedback on platforms like X and Discord to inform the development of upcoming features for its apps.
During the Google I/O 2025 event, the tech giant announced the launch of Gemini Live, a feature that enhances user interaction by enabling real-time screen and camera sharing on both Android and iOS devices.
