Google Develops Ephemeral Video Mode for Gemini Live

Google is reportedly working on an 'Ephemeral Video Mode' for Gemini Live, a feature that would allow users to share video input without it being stored in their activity history. The development was discovered by Android Authority through an APK teardown of version 17.59.17.sa.arm64 of the Google app for Android.

The new mode is connected to Gemini Live and could be used as an explicit opt-out for users who don't want their video input sessions recorded. This would allow users to have private conversations without leaving a digital footprint. However, it's worth noting that not much information is available about this feature yet, and it's unclear when or if it will be released.

Google has been working on improving its AI-powered Gemini Live service, which allows for video input sessions with real-time processing. The 'Ephemeral Video Mode' could be a significant addition to the platform, providing users with more control over their digital presence.
