Google may add an option to turn off Gemini Live’s guided vision

Feature update

Google is reportedly working on a new setting that would let users disable Gemini Live’s guided vision mode. The option appears to be a toggle inside Gemini Live’s settings, giving users more control over how the camera-based AI feature behaves.

What guided vision does

Guided vision is the object-highlighting mode that helps Gemini Live identify and focus on items in view while you use the camera. The new setting would reportedly let users switch that behavior off, although it is still unclear exactly how the live camera experience will work once the feature is disabled.

Why it matters

This change is important because not every user wants AI to actively guide or annotate what the camera is seeing. A disable option would make Gemini Live feel more flexible, especially for people who want a more privacy-conscious or less intrusive experience.

Current status

The feature has been spotted in a newer Google app build, but it is not yet available to users. That means Google is still testing it, and the final behavior could change before release.

What to watch

If Google rolls this out widely, it would be another sign that Gemini Live is becoming more customizable. Users may soon be able to choose between a more assisted vision mode and a simpler live camera interaction.
