What Google Vids is
Google Vids is a collaborative AI video creation tool for work. Users can begin with templates, stock media, or a Google Slides presentation, then record screen and audio or generate video, music, avatars, and voiceovers with AI. Editing can be done through a text transcript, with styled captions and transitions available. AI avatar scripts and voiceovers support 24 languages. Users can add media from Google Drive or Google Photos and export videos to YouTube, where exported videos default to private. Sharing permissions determine who can edit, comment on, or view videos. Google says Vids content is encrypted by default and has privacy controls. Each video can be up to 30 minutes. Creation and editing are available on desktop; viewing is available on desktop and mobile. Vids has a free plan, and paid Workspace plans start at $7 a month per user on the Annual/Fixed-Term Plan. No free trial is listed.
