What is Google Vids?

Google Vids is a web-based app that allows you to create videos using a variety of templates and AI-powered features. With Vids, you can create custom videos directly in your web browser — no special software or video editing skills required.

You can use it to create videos of up to 10 minutes for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Training videos
  • And more

How does Google Vids work?

To use Google Vids, you’ll need a Google Workspace account. Once you have an account, you can access Google Vids from the Google Drive menu.

The first step in creating a video with Google Vids is to choose a template. Google Vids offers a variety of templates to choose from, including templates for explainer videos, marketing videos, product demos, and training sessions.

Once you’ve chosen a template, you can start adding your own content. This includes text, images, and video clips, along with optional voiceovers. You can even use Google Vids’ text-to-speech feature if you’d prefer an automated narration.

Google Vids also has a number of AI-powered features that can help you create better videos. For example, it can automatically generate captions and transcripts for your videos. You can also use the AI tool to help you choose the right music and sound effects for your videos.

Once you’re happy with your video, you can export it in a variety of formats, including MP4, MOV, and GIF.

Integrated with your Google Workspace

Collaborating on videos is as easy as working in Docs, Sheets, or Slides. With Vids, you can share and edit projects directly within Workspace, keeping everything in one place.

Sharing controls offer granular permissions, so you decide who can edit, comment, or view each video. Playback allows you to watch videos right in your browser, complete with auto-generated closed captions for accessible viewing.

As with all Workspace tools, your content is encrypted by default, and robust privacy settings ensure that your data remains secure.
