Google recently made Gemini 2.5 Pro available for everyone, though the model is still in the experimental phase. Now, the company is rolling out Gemini Liveโs Astra camera/video and screen-sharing capabilities to Advanced subscribers. However, it appears to be a staged rollout, so not everyone will get these features right away. You may have to wait several days or weeks.
Google is rolling out screen and camera sharing features to Gemini Live
Google promised that features from Project Astra, such as live video and screen sharing, would be rolled out for Gemini Advanced subscribers as part of the Google One AI Premium plan on Android devices by the end of March. Now, Google has shared a new update regarding this. In a post on its X handle @GeminiApp, Google said that it is working hard to make it available to everyone. Below is what the company said:
โWe see (and share) the excitement around this feature and are working hard to make it available to more people! The ability to share your camera or screen in Gemini Live conversations will continue to roll out, and weโll provide updates on this page as the feature expands.โ
Some users have reported getting these features, signaling the beginning of the rollout. As itโs a staged rollout, these features will gradually become available to more people over time. The Gemini Live 2.0 Flash update took longer than usual as well. The rollout of this update began in February, and Google completed it recently in March with the March Pixel feature drop. This update made major improvements to language understanding and communication, supporting a combination of over 45 languages.
Notably, the launch of these features is not limited to Pixels or Samsung devices. As long as you have a Gemini Advanced subscription, the Android device you are using doesnโt matter. Google has rolled them out before to some Xiaomi devices as well.
