Unveiling the Mystical Astra Glow: Gemini Live’s Screen Sharing Revolution on Android

The article discusses the Astra-powered screen and video sharing feature of Gemini Live, which includes a visually distinctive glow during usage. Users can share their entire screen or individual apps after opting to start recording or casting through Google’s system-level prompt. When active, an indicator shows in the status bar along with a blue waveform at the bottom. The glow is reminiscent of the Pixel 4-era Assistant’s animation. The video demo showcases some delays and struggles when analyzing complex feeds but performs well on simpler content like webpages. Astra will be available on all supported Android devices for users enrolled in Gemini Advanced, not restricted to specific phone models.
