Google’s promised “Project Astra” screen sharing capabilities for Gemini Live are now appearing for some users, following the company’s announcement at MWC 2025. A Reddit user with a Xiaomi phone and Gemini Advanced subscription recently demonstrated the feature in action.

The new integration allows users to share their phone screen with Gemini Live and engage in contextual conversations about on-screen content. Gemini can run in the background while users navigate their device, maintaining awareness of what’s displayed.

For example, when browsing Wikipedia, users can ask Gemini to:
– Summarize visible content
– Explain complex terms
– Read text aloud
– Convert information into different formats
– Translate content

What makes this feature powerful is Gemini’s ability to maintain context throughout the conversation while seeing exactly what the user is viewing. This creates a more intuitive AI assistant experience that understands visual context alongside verbal queries.

As previously announced, this screen sharing capability is exclusive to Gemini Advanced subscribers, available for $19.99 per month.
