Videos, even simple ones for social media, take a long time to produce and make. Google has streamlined this entire process with Google Vids, its automatic video creation tool. Since videos create far more engagement than images, this tool will help you boost social media engagement and brand awareness and enhance presentations with simple video creation anyone can do.
Google Vids now live for Google Workspace Business users
Google Vids was announced earlier in 2024, and Google has formally rolled it out to most Google Workspace for Business customers at no extra charge. While it advises that it may impose usage limits in 2026, your team has all of 2025 to use this powerful tool.
Previously only available to Workspace customers who had purchased the Gemini for Workspace add-on, this rollout to most business users makes creating simple videos for your business much easier than most similar tools that are on the market, such as Canva.
After creating your storyboard, you can bring in images and files from your Google Drive or rely on Vids to bring in recommended stock photography and/or illustrations to build your video. All you have to write is the storyboard, and of course you’ll need to refine the generated images and text in your video.
With Google Vids, realtors can create videos from a file of property photos, marketers can make videos in half the time it takes to do so in tools like Adobe CS, and sales can close deals faster by including original videos in their presentations.
To train your staff, Google has helpful resources that will help get them started. Start using it today to clearly communicate your message internally and to potential customers.

Image generation now available in Google Docs
Imagen 3 has launched for Google Docs. Previously available in just Google Slides, Imagen 3 allows you to generate AI images within your Google Doc. This saves time looking for the perfect image to illustrate your document, and can even help you come up with ways to visualize tough concepts. You can choose from photos, illustrations, and various effects.

Available with Gemini for Workspace and Google One AI Premium.
