Google confirms general availability of Google Vids for paying Workspace users

Google has officially confirmed the general availability of Google Vids. It is powered by Google’s Gemini Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI).

Google has integrated Google Vids into its Workspace suite of apps. The AI-powered video creation tool was previously available only to Gemini for Google Workspace customers. Moving forward, several more Workspace subscription plans will include access to Google Vids.

According to the search giant, Google Vids is an AI-powered video creation app for work. The company assures it will help teams in customer service, learning and development, project ops, and marketing, “tell more engaging stories at work through video”.

Specifically speaking, select editions of Google Workspace, including Business Standard and Plus, Enterprise tiers, and Education Plus, as well as Gemini add-on customers will have access to Google Vids.

How to use Google Vids?

Google Vids essentially combines multiple powers of Gemini to quickly create videos that businesses can use. With the “Help me create” feature, Gemini can generate an initial storyboard from a text prompt and a Google Drive document.

Users can quickly and effortlessly add animations, transitions, photo effects, and royalty-free stock content. If that’s not impressive enough, the platform offers AI-powered voiceovers with a selection of preset voices. Users can also record voiceover in their voices. Google Vids has a read-along teleprompter and Gemini AI rolling feature.

Currently, the main AI-powered features such as “Help me create” and the read-along teleprompter, are limited to English. However, the application is available in multiple languages, and Google has assured it will expand language support in the near future.

All Google Vids features are reportedly available to paying Google Workspace customers until December 31, 2025. Google has indicated it may impose limits on some features starting next year. The company should start alerting businesses about the changes later this year.
