Firebase AI Logic now supports Gemini Live API with native audio models while retiring other Live API options. Available models include Gemini Developer API, gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio-preview-12-2025, Vertex AI Gemini API, and gemini-live-2.5-flash-native-audio. Enables low latency real time voice and video with audio input and output.
Firebase AI Logic
For Gemini Live API implementations, make sure that your app uses one of the native audio models. All other Live API models are now retired. Here are the most currently available model names:
- Gemini Developer API
- gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio-preview-12-2025
Even though this is a preview model, it's available on the "free tier" of the Gemini Developer API.
- gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio-preview-12-2025
- Vertex AI Gemini API
- gemini-live-2.5-flash-native-audio
When using the Vertex AI Gemini API, the Live API models are not supported in the global location.
- gemini-live-2.5-flash-native-audio
Note that the native audio models always require audio input (along with optional additional modalities of text or video input), and they always respond with audio output.
You can use the Gemini Live API via Firebase AI Logic to build low-latency, real-time voice and video interactions, including adding text transcriptions of audio input and output.

Google Workspace Updates Weekly Recap - December 12, 2025
Workspace Updates brings a batch of new capabilities across Meet, Vault, Gmail and Chat. Highlights include automatic Meet picture-in-picture, enhanced live stream access, call queuing, compliance recording, Vault multi‑party approvals, Gmail header/footer data classification, new web chat address, and scheduled Chat messages.
A summary of announcements from the last week:
Meet now automatically opens picture-in-picture when screen sharing
Google Meet now supports automatically opening picture-in-picture when starting a screen share. This will allow you to see your audience while focusing on your presentation content. This feature is an enhancement to picture-in-picture opening automatically when you switch tabs. | Learn more about automatic picture-in-picture in Meet when screen sharing.
Invite external guests to Google Meet live streams or limit access for targeted internal live streaming
Additional access controls for Google Meet will now let hosts decide who can view their live streams. Live streams can now reach a wider audience with added flexibility for events like town halls, webinars, and large presentations. This allows for mixed internal/external audiences and better granularity for hosting restricted internal broadcasts. | Learn more about inviting external guests to Google Meet live streams or limiting access for targeted internal live streaming.
Call queuing now available for select Google Voice plans
Currently, when all members of a ring group are busy, incoming calls are often sent to voicemail or, in some cases, disconnected by the carrier. With this update, when a caller dials a ring group, they will be automatically placed on hold in a queue to wait for the next available person. | Learn more about call queuing for select Google Voice plans.
Implement automated compliance recording and transcripts for selected Google Meet users
In order to help organizations, particularly those in the financial services industry, meet strict regulatory archiving requirements, today we are introducing Google Meet Compliance Recording, a new feature that can be enabled by administrators to automatically record meetings and capture transcripts for specific users or groups requiring regulatory monitoring by a registered organization. | Learn more about implementing automated compliance recording and transcripts for selected Google Meet users.
Protect sensitive Google Vault actions with multi-party approvals
We are extending multi-party approvals (MPA) to Google Vault. Last year, we launched MPA to protect customers from malicious actors taking sensitive admin actions by requiring that one admin must approve certain actions initiated by another. | Learn more about protecting sensitive Google Vault actions with multi-party approvals.
Gmail data classification update: include header or footer message
Earlier this year, data classification labels for Gmail became generally available. Admins can use this feature to classify and audit email content according to organizational guidelines (9Sensitive,9 9Confidential,9 etc.) and apply policies, such as data loss prevention (DLP) rules, to protect sensitive information in email messages. | Learn more about the Gmail data classification update for header and footer messages.
A new web address for Google Chat
We9re launching a faster, more reliable Google Chat experience for web users. Chat will now be served from chat.google.com instead of mail.google.com/chat. Users, however, can continue to use existing mail.google.com/chat bookmarks and links. This change will reduce loading time when opening the app and does not change the Chat user interface. | Learn more about a new web address for Google Chat.
Schedule messages to be sent at a later time in Google Chat
Today we are launching a new feature to enable users to schedule messages in Google Chat to be sent at a later time or date. This highly requested feature is part of our commitment to enable more productive and seamless communication for our users. | Learn more about scheduling messages to be sent at a later time in Google Chat.
