  "account": "Google is rumored to be working on an upgraded version of Gemini Live called \"Ephemeral Video Mode.\" This new feature could allow users to have private, incognito video sessions while still using video input. Currently, any video shared during a Live session is stored in users' Gemini Apps Activity. However, this new mode would enable users to control their privacy according to the specific needs of each interaction. Some situations may require complete privacy, while others may benefit from retaining context for future sessions. With this potential upgrade, Google aims to provide users with more control over their AI interactions, ensuring that privacy is respected when necessary.",
