Google makes screen-sharing feature free for all Android users
Google has announced that its screen-sharing feature for Gemini Live will now be available for free to all Android users. This move comes after Google initially planned to restrict the feature to Gemini Advanced subscribers.
Background on Gemini Live's New Feature
Last month, Google introduced a new feature to Gemini Live that allows users to interact with real-time content on their device's screen or camera view. This innovation enables users to perform tasks such as identifying objects captured by the camera or searching for products online using the device's screen.
Prior to this announcement, the screen-sharing feature was exclusive to Gemini Advanced subscribers who paid $19.99 per month. However, due to positive feedback from users, Google decided to make the feature accessible to all Android users with the Gemini app installed.
How to Access the Feature
If you're interested in trying out the screen-sharing feature on the Gemini app, here's how you can get started:
- Download the Gemini app from Google Play Store.
- Open the app and navigate to the screen-sharing feature.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to start using the feature.
