Google Vids now lets you star in your own AI videos
Google is turning Vids into a personal-avatar video tool inside Workspace.
The update lets users create a digital avatar from a selfie and uploaded voice recording. Google is also adding Gemini Omni so Vids can generate or edit videos from prompts, reference images, and step-by-step instructions. The piece says avatars are tied to the account holder’s likeness, linked to their Google account, and invisibly watermarked with SynthID. Access is limited to users in certain regions who are 18 or older. TechCrunch AI's note
