Based on the attached screenshot in the post, the shortcut appears on top of the redesigned gemini overlay. When a user activates Gemini Ai Assistant, A Rectangular Tab Now Openes with a Plus ICON on the Left and ICons for the Microphone and Gemini Live on the right. On top of the bar, an “ask about screen” icon is present that lets the ai capture a quick screenshot of the screen.
Users can then type their prompts and ask the ai questions about the image. However, if users want to do this while having a live conversation with the chatbot, currently, this is not possible. The ‘Talk Live About screen’ Feature Solves This Problem. The shortcut appears on top of the ‘ask about screen’ button.
A google representative at the galaxy unpacked event highlighted that tapping the shortcut would automatically a screenshot and open the gemini live interface. Users can then verbally ask the ai about the image and get real-time responses from the chatbot. The tech giant has not revised any release date for the feature so far.
Notably, Gemini Live is also gotting another update that will allow users to have live conversations about a YouTube video or a document as well. This functionality is expected to be added to the ai chatbot at a later date.
