Google has begun the deployment of its screen and video sharing functionalities in Gemini Live for the Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 series. These features were initially showcased during the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 held last month. Developed by Google DeepMind as part of Project Astra, these capabilities offer users real-time video processing.
Gemini Live’s Screen-Sharing and Live Video Features Reportedly Rolling Out
The tech giant confirmed that both the Pixel 9 series and the Galaxy S25 series are receiving the new Gemini Live features. According to Google’s announcement, Pixel 9 users will have access to these artificial intelligence (AI) features at no additional cost. Moreover, these functionalities will remain available even after the expiration of the one-year free trial of the Gemini Advanced subscription. In contrast, Galaxy S25 users will need an active Gemini Advanced subscription to utilize the new features.
As of now, staff members at Gadgets 360 have not yet identified the features on the compatible Google or Samsung devices; however, they are expected to become accessible following the imminent April Pixel Drop. The rollout appears to be taking place in stages, with a similar Gemini update anticipated soon for Galaxy S25 devices.
Google explained that users can access the screen-sharing feature by launching the Gemini assistant overlay and selecting the “Share screen with Live” floating action button (FAB). This action triggers a confirmation message prompting users to confirm their screen sharing with the Google app.
While active, a notification resembling a call notification will appear in the status bar to indicate that live data processing is underway. Users can also enable the feature by directly opening Gemini Live and selecting the screen share button.
To share live video from the device’s rear camera, users should open Gemini Live and tap the newly added video button located at the bottom of the interface. This feature only operates while the screen remains active, and Google advises users to maintain steady camera movements for optimal performance.
