Besides the weekend confirmation that camera and screen sharing in Gemini Live is still rolling out, Google has now confirmed that it will be available on “any Android device with Gemini Advanced.”
In January, it seemed that the Project Astra capabilities might initially be exclusive to the Pixel and Galaxy S25 series. Early rollout reports disproved that, and a Google support article now says the Live camera and screen sharing will be “available on any Android device with Gemini Advanced.” That hopefully also includes foldables and tablets.
Google reiterates that the new Gemini Live features are “being released gradually, so they might not be available to you just yet.”
The help article also talks about how the “camera automatically turns off if”:
window.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];
adSlotsConfig.push( {
slotID: ‘/1049447/Outbrain’,
slotName: ‘div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-667253’,
sizes: [300, 250],
slotPosition: ‘mid_article’
} );
Meanwhile, screen sharing will stop “if Live is put on hold or you lock your screen.”
Screen sharing doesn’t automatically resume when you continue your Live chat or unlock your screen. To resume it, you need to share your screen again.
Elsewhere, Google appears to have rolled back the compact fullscreen Gemini Live UI for most beta users (Google app 16.12) that don’t have Astra. It’s back to circular buttons for the voice experience.
