5 ways to use Gemini Live with camera and screen sharing

In March, we began rolling out the ability to talk live with Gemini about anything you see, whether it’s through your phone’s screen or through its camera. This soon will be available to all Gemini Advanced subscribers on Android devices, and today we’re bringing it to more people, starting with all Gemini app users on Pixel 9 and Samsung Galaxy S25 devices. ¹

Gemini Live ² lets you have natural, free-flowing conversations with Gemini in over 45 different languages. Want to give it a try? Check out these five ways people have told us that using their camera or sharing their screen with Gemini Live has made life easier.

1. Organize your space

Feeling overwhelmed by spring cleaning? Start by aiming your camera at a messy drawer, a cluttered closet or an overflowing shelf. Ask Gemini for suggestions on how to categorize items, maximize space or even identify what you can donate or discard. Get real-time advice and visual guidance as you declutter, letting Gemini be your organization partner.

2. Brainstorm creative projects

If you’re stuck in a creative rut, brainstorm out loud with Gemini. Show your photos to Gemini by sharing your screen: you could share images of something that inspires you, like the textures of a tree or the colors of a bustling market, and ask Gemini to spark ideas for designs, creative writing or even crafts.

3. Troubleshoot and get input

Have a squeaky chair? A glitching record player? With Gemini Live’s camera input, you can show Gemini what you’re seeing in real time and get quick input while you work. Just point your camera at the issue and chat with Gemini to figure out a plan.

4. Get personal shopping advice

Tired of endless tabs and indecisive online shopping? Share your screen in Gemini Live as you browse online retailers, and Gemini can be your personal shopping assistant. Ask for comparisons between products or for style advice on outfits. You can even show Gemini specific items and ask what would compliment them using your camera to show your own wardrobe. Get instant feedback on your choices, ensuring you make informed (and stylish) purchases.

5. Develop your skills and get feedback

Share your screen with Gemini and get valuable feedback on your work, whether it's your latest blog post, social media campaign or collection of photos. Get advice on everything from profile pictures and captions to overall layout and design. Gemini can analyze your content, identify areas for improvement and provide personalized recommendations to help you make a lasting impression.
