What’s changing
Earlier this year, we announced expanded access to Google Vids, bringing basic access to Google Vids to all Google Workspace for Education users. Now, we’re excited to announce the following AI features are available to users with an Education Plus or Teaching & Learning add-on license for a limited time*:
- Read-along mode in teleprompter
- AI voice overs
- Text to image
- Replace or expand image background with AI-powered image editing
- Help me create (plan your video story)
- Transcript trim
With access to these features, educators and students can generate custom images and video clips directly from a simple text description, add professional touches like background removal for images & AI-generated title cards, and choose from a library of preset voiceovers to give any project a polished narration.
Additionally, access to the Veo 3 model in Vids (to generate a video based on a prompt or image), AI avatars and Slides to Vids with Gemini (includes scripts, AI voice overs & background music) is planned to be available to Education Plus and Teaching and Learning users by the end of this year.
Education Plus and Teaching & Learning add-on admins will be able to control access in the Admin Console via the settings control for AI features in Drive and Docs, including Google Vids.
