9to5Google • • technology
Key Points:
- Google is testing a redesign of Gemini Live on Android that removes the fullscreen interface, integrating it instead into the Gemini app homepage.
- The updated interface features a "Live with Gemini" top bar with a transcript button, a pill-shaped prompt box with a blue waveform, and controls for camera/screen sharing and microphone muting.
- Users can exit Gemini Live by tapping the keyboard icon or using the system back gesture, replacing the previous fullscreen experience.
- This redesign is currently available to Google app beta users (version 17.14) and is limited to the Gemini app, with plans to update the overlay interface similarly in the future.
- The move away from the iconic fullscreen UI marks a significant shift in Gemini Live’s visual presentation, aiming for a more integrated and user-friendly experience.
