It sits alongside Docs and Slides in Google Workspace, and Gemini can draft a video from your prompt or file. You can also record your screen, add AI voiceovers or avatars and edit with your team in a browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small teams often need training, product and update videos without a dedicated video editor. Since September 2026, any Google account can try Vids at no cost, though AI limits differ by account type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide covers the main features, what free and Business accounts get and five steps to a first video. It ends with current limits and practical tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Google Vids?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Vids is a browser-based app where you create, write, produce, edit and share videos. Your Vids files live in Google Drive, just like Docs and Slides. That means sharing, storage and file access work the way you already know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vids is built for work communication, such as training, onboarding, product demos, team updates and promos. If you need cinematic effects or detailed film editing, a dedicated editor is a better fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gemini, Google&#8217;s AI model, can suggest a script, build scenes and read your narration. You review and change each part, so you stay in control of the script, scenes and voice. Vids sits alongside Gmail, Docs, Drive and Meet, so it helps to know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/introducing-google-workspace\/\">what Google Workspace includes<\/a> before you choose a plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can you do with Google Vids?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vids gives you several ways to start a video and finish it in the same app. You can begin with AI, a recording, an existing slide deck or a blank project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some AI features carry monthly limits that depend on your account type. The plans section later in this guide lists the current numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start a first draft with Help me create<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Help me create is the AI starting point in Vids. You describe the video in a prompt or point Gemini to a file in Drive, such as a Doc or a Slides deck. Gemini then suggests an outline and a storyboard, which is a scene-by-scene plan for the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, Gemini builds a first draft with scenes, stock media and music. Templates give you another starting point when you want a set layout. Either way, you review and edit every scene before anyone else sees it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Record yourself or your screen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recording studio inside Vids lets you capture your camera, your screen and your audio without leaving the app. The <a href=\"https:\/\/workspace.google.com\/products\/vids\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Google Vids product page<\/a> notes that you can record directly or let AI generate video, music, avatars and voiceovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recording works well for software walkthroughs, process demos and quick welcome messages from the owner. For a small team, one person can explain a process on screen without booking a studio or hiring a crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add voiceovers, AI avatars, music and AI video clips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vids includes several generative media options, meaning tools that create new audio or video from your instructions. Each one maps to a common business task. You choose which ones to use in each scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>AI voiceovers:<\/strong> A synthetic voice reads your script when you&#8217;d rather not record narration yourself.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>AI avatars:<\/strong> A digital presenter delivers your script on screen, including personal avatars where your admin allows them.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>AI music:<\/strong> Gemini generates background music that fits the tone of your video.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>AI video clips:<\/strong> You describe a scene in text, and Vids generates a short clip for it.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Stock media:<\/strong> A built-in library of images, video and audio fills gaps when you lack your own footage.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI avatars, video clips and music count against monthly limits. The section on Google Workspace plans below shows how those limits differ by account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Edit by transcript and work together like a shared doc<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vids lets you edit a video by editing its text transcript, the same way you&#8217;d edit a document. You can then add styled captions and transitions in a few clicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sharing works the way it does in Docs, with Viewer, Commenter and Editor roles. Teammates can comment and make changes in real time. Feedback stays in one place instead of spreading across email threads and file versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Gemini powers Google Vids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gemini handles the writing and generation work inside Vids. It can suggest scripts and storyboards from your prompt, and you decide what stays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products-and-platforms\/products\/workspace\/gemini-omni-in-google-vids\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Google&#8217;s September 2026 Vids update<\/a> added Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash, a model that generates new scenes in 1080p high definition (HD). You can set exact clip durations and extend scenes while keeping characters and lighting consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every clip made with Omni 1.1 includes an imperceptible SynthID digital watermark embedded in the video frames. SynthID is Google&#8217;s technology for marking AI-generated content, so the clip can be identified as AI-made. That transparency matters when you publish videos to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Language support is still growing. Google has announced that text-to-speech voiceovers in more than 100 languages are coming soon. Today, many AI features in Vids work only in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Google Vids free?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, any personal Google account can use Vids at no cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Free use comes with limits. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/docs\/answer\/15609411\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Vids availability by account type<\/a>, personal accounts get 6 AI avatar or video-clip generations a month combined. They also get 50 AI credits a month for other AI actions, with Help me create using 5 credits and a voiceover using 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limits reset at the start of each month, and unused generations or credits don&#8217;t roll over. Google AI plans raise the limits on personal accounts if you need more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business accounts get access through Google Workspace instead, and an administrator controls whether Vids is on. Those accounts also get larger monthly pools, which the next section compares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Google Workspace plans include Google Vids?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/google-workspace\/google-video-editor\">Google Vids with Bluehost<\/a> page, Bluehost lists Vids AI-powered video creation on Business Standard and Business Plus. Google&#8217;s AI usage limits page, last updated September 30, 2026, shows higher Vids AI limits on those editions than on Business Starter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These limits set how many AI scenes, avatars and music tracks your team can make each month, and Google can change them. The Business Starter figures below come from Google&#8217;s documentation for that edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Google Vids AI limits and Gemini features by Business edition (per month, as of September 30, 2026)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Feature<\/th>\n<th>Business Starter<\/th>\n<th>Business Standard<\/th>\n<th>Business Plus<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>AI avatar generations<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>25<\/td>\n<td>25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>AI video generations<\/td>\n<td>20<\/td>\n<td>50<\/td>\n<td>50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>AI music, 30-second clips<\/td>\n<td>20<\/td>\n<td>50<\/td>\n<td>50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>AI music, full tracks<\/td>\n<td>10<\/td>\n<td>20<\/td>\n<td>20<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nano Banana Pro images (Google&#8217;s AI image generator, shared with Slides)<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>30<\/td>\n<td>30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gemini in Docs, Slides and Drive<\/td>\n<td>Not included<\/td>\n<td>Included<\/td>\n<td>Included<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Google Vault<\/td>\n<td>Not included<\/td>\n<td>Not included<\/td>\n<td>Included<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Admin controls for Vids<\/td>\n<td>Included<\/td>\n<td>Included<\/td>\n<td>Included<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teams that make videos every week will reach Business Starter&#8217;s limits sooner, since Business Standard more than doubles the avatar and video pools. The difference between Standard and Plus sits mostly outside Vids, as the sections below explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Business Standard fits your team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business Standard suits teams that plan to make videos on a regular schedule. <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.workspace.google.com\/admin\/generative-ai\/workspace-with-gemini\/about-ai-usage-limits\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Google&#8217;s AI usage limits<\/a> give it 25 avatar and 50 video generations a month. It also adds Gemini to the apps where your video material usually starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Regular training:<\/strong> Teams that publish new training or onboarding videos each month get room for more avatars and AI scenes.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Frequent promos:<\/strong> Owners who post product promos often can use the larger music and image pools for each campaign.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>More storage:<\/strong> Business Standard gives each user 2 terabytes (TB) of storage, compared with 30 gigabytes (GB) on Starter. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/google-workspace-business-starter-vs-standard\/\">Business Starter vs Standard<\/a> guide covers this gap.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Decks into videos:<\/strong> Gemini in Slides helps you build a deck, and Convert Slides turns it into a Vids draft.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Recorded meetings:<\/strong> Meet recording lets you capture a live demo and upload the footage into a Vids project.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Business Plus is worth it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Business Plus keeps the same Vids AI limits as Business Standard. The reasons to choose it sit outside Vids, in compliance, storage and meeting size. Consider it if any of these needs apply to your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Compliance needs:<\/strong> Vault covers retention and eDiscovery, meaning finding and exporting data for legal requests. <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.workspace.google.com\/admin\/getting-started\/editions\/compare-business-editions\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Google&#8217;s Business edition comparison<\/a> lists it on Business Plus.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Storage and meetings:<\/strong> When you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/google-workspace-standard-vs-plus\/\">compare Standard and Plus<\/a>, Business Plus offers 5TB of storage per user and 500-person Meet calls with attendance tracking.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If those needs don&#8217;t apply yet, Business Standard gives you the same Vids AI limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make your first video in Google Vids?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll need a computer with a supported browser for these steps. The goal is a short first draft that you can refine with your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Open Vids on your computer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to vids.new in your browser, or open Vids from the Google apps menu or from Drive. Use the two most recent versions of Chrome or Firefox, or Microsoft Edge on Windows. You can&#8217;t edit or comment in Vids in Safari right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On a work account, check that your admin has turned Vids on. If your business is new to Google Workspace, our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/how-to-use-google-workspace\/\">getting started with Workspace<\/a> walks you through account setup first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Choose how to start<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The creation menu gives you seven starting points. Pick the one closest to the material you already have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Create AI videos:<\/strong> Use Help me create when you have an idea or a document but no footage yet.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>AI avatar:<\/strong> Pick this option when you want a presenter on screen without filming anyone.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Convert Slides:<\/strong> Turn an existing deck into scenes, with speaker notes becoming the script.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Record:<\/strong> Capture your camera or screen for walkthroughs and personal messages.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Upload:<\/strong> Bring in footage you already have, such as a product clip from your phone.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Templates:<\/strong> Start from a set layout when you want structure around your own content.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Blank Vid:<\/strong> Build from scratch when you know exactly what you want.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Write a clear prompt and add a source file<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A specific prompt gives Gemini more to work with. Name the audience, the goal, the length and the tone you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then attach a Doc or Slides deck from Drive so Gemini drafts from your own facts. Here&#8217;s an example prompt for an onboarding video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Create a two-minute onboarding video for new caf\u00e9 staff that explains our opening steps in a friendly tone. Use the attached opening checklist Doc.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Review scenes, script and voice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Treat Gemini&#8217;s draft as a starting point and go through it scene by scene. Edit the script text, reorder scenes and remove anything that doesn&#8217;t fit your message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swap stock media for your own product photos or team shots where you can. Choose an AI voiceover or record your own narration. Then add captions so viewers can follow along with the sound off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Share for feedback, then export<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Share the video with teammates as Commenters so they can leave notes without changing your edits. Once you&#8217;ve worked through the feedback, choose how to deliver it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can share it as a Vids file, save an MPEG-4 (MP4) file to Drive, download an MP4 or publish to YouTube. YouTube exports go to your default channel with visibility set to private. That lets you check the video before you make it public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google Vids limits to know before you start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limits shape what Vids handles well, and Google updates them often. The figures below reflect Google&#8217;s help pages in October 2026, including <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/docs\/answer\/16286470\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Vids storage and length limits<\/a>. Some older articles still cite a 10-minute cap, while Google&#8217;s current maximum is 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Google Vids limits at a glance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Limit<\/th>\n<th>Current figure<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Maximum clip length<\/td>\n<td>30 minutes for any clip created in the recording studio<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Imports<\/td>\n<td>Up to 95 minutes or 4 GB; trim to 30 minutes before other edits<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Objects per video<\/td>\n<td>50 video objects and 50 audio objects<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Formats<\/td>\n<td>Widescreen, vertical and square<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Devices<\/td>\n<td>Create and edit on desktop; view on desktop or mobile<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Browsers<\/td>\n<td>Chrome and Firefox; Microsoft Edge on Windows; no editing in Safari<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Languages<\/td>\n<td>Many AI features in English only; avatars and voiceovers in more than 20 languages, depending on the feature<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These limits fit clear business communication such as training, demos and updates. If you need more cinematic AI footage or longer generated scenes than Vids is built for, compare the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/best-ai-video-generators\/\">standalone AI video generators<\/a> in our roundup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways small businesses use Google Vids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Video is now a common part of business marketing. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyzowl.com\/video-marketing-statistics\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Wyzowl&#8217;s 2026 video marketing survey<\/a>, based on 266 respondents in late 2025, found 91% of businesses use video as a marketing tool. It also found 63% of video marketers have used AI video tools, up from 51% the year before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey covers a global mix of marketers and consumers, so treat it as a direction rather than a precise benchmark. For a small team, it points to video as a regular channel and AI tools as a practical way to keep up. These are common ways you can put Vids to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Onboarding and training:<\/strong> Turn a standard operating procedure (SOP) Doc into a narrated walkthrough new hires can watch anytime.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Product demos and promos:<\/strong> Snap photos of new stock and turn them into a short vertical promo for social media.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Customer how-tos:<\/strong> Record your screen once to answer support questions that come up again and again.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Team updates:<\/strong> Send a watch-anytime update in place of another meeting. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/google-meet-vs-zoom\/\">Google Meet vs Zoom<\/a> guide helps when a live call fits better.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Pitches from slides:<\/strong> Convert an existing sales deck into a narrated video you can send to prospects.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for better results with Google Vids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good results in Vids depend on the material you give Gemini and how closely you check its work. These habits help you get usable drafts and keep control of what you publish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li><strong>Keep it short:<\/strong> Focus each video on one goal, such as one process or one product.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Start from real files:<\/strong> Attach a Doc or deck so Gemini drafts from your facts instead of guesses.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Check every AI line:<\/strong> Review scripts and captions for accuracy before anyone outside your team sees them.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Use your own brand:<\/strong> Add your photos and brand colors in themes so videos look like your business.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Plan around limits:<\/strong> Save AI clips and avatars for the scenes that need them most, since limits count per month.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Check sharing roles:<\/strong> Confirm Viewer, Commenter or Editor access before you send a video outside the company.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Ask your admin:<\/strong> On work accounts, admins can <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.workspace.google.com\/admin\/users\/access\/turn-vids-on-or-off-for-users\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">turn Vids on or off<\/a> and decide on personal avatars.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Vids gives you an AI-assisted way to draft, record and share work videos from your browser. Start with a free account, make one short video and count how many AI scenes and avatars it took.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If video becomes a weekly task, Business Standard adds larger Vids AI pools and Gemini across Docs, Slides and Drive. You can set up and manage your plan from one dashboard. Get started with Business Standard through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/google-workspace\">Bluehost Google Workspace<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is Google Vids safe for business videos?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, Vids applies the same protections as the rest of Google Workspace, and your content is encrypted by default. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/knowledge.workspace.google.com\/admin\/generative-ai\/generative-ai-in-google-workspace-privacy-hub\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Google&#8217;s Workspace AI privacy commitments<\/a>, Workspace content isn&#8217;t human reviewed or used to train generative AI models outside your domain without permission. You still control who sees each video through sharing roles.<\/p> <\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-2\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you turn Google Slides into a video with Vids?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, the Convert Slides option turns an existing deck into a Vids draft, with each slide becoming a scene. Your speaker notes become the script for each scene, and you can then add a voiceover, music or an avatar. Write those notes the way you&#8217;d say them out loud so the narration sounds natural.<\/p> <\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-3\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you use Google Vids on your phone?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">No, you can&#8217;t create or edit videos on a phone right now. Vids creation and editing work only on desktop, but you can watch shared videos on mobile. If you film footage on your phone, you can upload it to Drive and add it to your project from a computer.<\/p> <\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-4\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What languages does Google Vids support?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Many AI features in Vids work only in English today. AI avatars and voiceovers cover more than 20 languages, though the exact list differs by feature, so check it before planning a project. Google has also announced that text-to-speech voiceovers in more than 100 languages are coming soon.<\/p> <\/div><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-5\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who controls Google Vids on a work account?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Your Google Workspace administrator controls Vids on a work account. Admins can turn Vids on or off for everyone or for specific groups, and they decide whether users can use personal avatars. If Vids is off, no one in your organization can create Vids files or open ones shared with them.<\/p> <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Vids is Google Workspace&#8217;s AI video creation app for work, powered by Gemini.
