Full Analysis

Google recently unveiled a series of updates for its video application, Google Vids, which has been integrated into Workspace since 2024. On April 2, 2026, the Mountain View firm announced the launch of Veo 3.1, an artificial intelligence model that allows users to generate video clips and avatars directly from the application.

With Veo 3.1, users can create eight-second clips from a simple text query or an image. This model, known for its performance, was improved last January with optimizations on character and background consistency. Google emphasizes that this technology is ideal for various projects, such as animated posters or original greeting cards.

Subscribers to the AI Pro and AI Ultra plans benefit from additional features, such as the creation of fully customizable AI avatars. These avatars can be integrated into interactive scenes, with customization options for outfits and accessories. Furthermore, these subscribers have access to the generation of three-minute music tracks thanks to the Lyria 3 and Lyria 3 Pro models developed by Google DeepMind.

Access and Limitations

Free account users are limited to ten creations per month, while paying subscribers can create up to 1,000. Advanced features, such as avatar creation and music, are reserved for AI Pro and Workspace AI Ultra subscribers.

New Tools for Everyone

In parallel, Google has introduced two new tools accessible to all Google Vids users. A Chrome extension, Google Vids Screen Recorder, allows users to record their screen from any web page, simplifying the video capture process. Additionally, videos created in Google Vids can now be exported directly to YouTube, set to private by default, without the need for prior downloading.
