Gemini Live camera and screen sharing feature: What it is and how it works

Gmini Live was introduced last year as a conversational model with an audio-based interface. Now, Google has expanded its capabilities to share the camera or screen within Gemini Live conversation. With these features, users can simply point the camera at to object, place, or monument and ask questions. Gemini will be able to analyse the object for relevant responses. Google also says that, “Gemini will provide real-time feedback based on the new skill you’re learning or task you’re completing.”

In April 2025, the feature was rolled out to several Android devices, now it's also available to iOS users. Additionally, Google has also expanded its access from subscription users to free-tier users. However, we are yet to know about the limitations

How to use the Gemini Live camera and screen sharing feature

Step 1: Open the Gemini app on your Android or iOS device.

Step 2: Click on the Live waveform icon, placed in the right corner, to activate Gemini Live

Step 3: Once activated, you’ll find the camera and screen share option at the bottom left side.

This way, users can interact with Gemini Live via the camera or by sharing their screen to resolve queries and ask related questions. As of now, the feature is not available on iOS devices. However, we expect it to be rolled out soon. Google is also expanding the Gemini Live feature to other apps such as Calendar, Keep, Maps, and Tasks.
