Creating high-quality videos for training, internal communication, or client presentations often requires time, technical skills, and expensive software—resources many teams simply don’t have. As a result, important messages are either delayed or delivered through less engaging formats like emails or slide decks, missing the opportunity to truly connect with audiences.
At Cloud Sultans, our mission is to help small and large businesses to better collaborate and achieve high productivity with their teams by maximizing the power of Google Workspace.
In the age of visual storytelling and AI-enhanced productivity, Google has launched a powerful new addition to the Google Workspace family—Google Vids. This AI-powered tool empowers businesses and educators to create professional-looking videos with minimal effort, bringing together automation, creativity, and collaboration in one seamless platform.
Overview of Google Vids
Google Vids is an AI-driven video creation and editing application designed to help users generate compelling video content with ease. It stands out by deeply integrating with Google Workspace and harnessing the capabilities of Gemini AI, Google’s generative AI platform. Whether you’re preparing a marketing video, an internal training clip, or a visual report, Google Vids simplifies the production process without compromising on quality.
What makes Google Vids unique is its approachability. You don’t need to be a video expert or have editing software. By providing prompts or structured outlines, users can let the AI build video drafts in seconds—something that traditionally took hours or even days.
Availability and Integration
Google Vids is available to users on select Google Workspace plans, particularly those with access to Gemini for Google Workspace. It fits naturally alongside tools like Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, offering the same collaborative experience users have come to expect.
With its integration into the broader Workspace ecosystem, Google Vids allows users to pull content directly from other apps. Need to showcase data from a spreadsheet? Pull it from Google Sheets. Want to summarize a long report? Use Gemini AI to auto-generate a script or storyboard. The end result is a cohesive workflow that dramatically reduces content creation time.
Creating Videos with Google Vids
Creating videos in Google Vids begins with something simple: a prompt or outline. Users can describe the goal of the video—such as “create an onboarding video for new employees” or “summarize our Q1 marketing results”—and the AI will generate a rough video structure.
This setup is reminiscent of other AI tools like Gamma AI, which produce slideshow-style content from prompts. However, Google Vids takes it further by offering a built-in editor and voiceover capabilities, enabling users to go from text to publish-ready video in minutes. Users can always edit the script, adjust the order of scenes, or change the visual theme to suit branding needs.
Voice and Video Options
A major strength of Google Vids is its versatility in voice and video recording. You can select from a variety of voiceover options, including professional-sounding narrators or more upbeat “motivator” tones. If you prefer a personal touch, you can record your own voice or video segments.
The platform supports screen recording, camera input, and slideshow narration, making it ideal for tutorial-style videos, company updates, or even client proposals. The combination of voice and visual customization adds a human element that text or slides alone often lack.
Editing and Customization
Google Vids includes a powerful, user-friendly editing interface. Users can drag and drop elements like images, GIFs, stickers, and even Google Image results into their videos. Titles, subtitles, and annotations can be added with ease.
Want to make your content interactive or more engaging? You can add timed annotations, clickable elements, or branding assets. These customization options help businesses maintain visual consistency and deliver more engaging messages to their audience.
Collaboration and Sharing
In true Google Workspace fashion, collaboration is at the core of Google Vids. Team members can co-edit a video or leave comments directly in the video timeline—similar to how comments work in Google Docs or Slides. This is ideal for team-based content creation, where feedback and iteration are essential.
Access permissions can be managed with precision, allowing creators to set view, comment, or edit rights. Whether you’re collaborating across departments or working with external contractors, sharing content securely is built into the experience.
Exporting and Integration
Once your video is complete, you can export it as an MP4 file or save it directly to Google Drive for easy access. From there, it can be embedded into websites, added to presentations, or shared via email or Google Chat.
For data-heavy videos, integration with Google Sheets is a game-changer. You can import live charts or tables to visually enhance your content. This feature is especially useful for reporting videos, dashboards, or performance summaries, where visualizing data can make all the difference.
Final Thoughts
Google Vids represents another step forward in Google’s vision of making workplace tools smarter, faster, and more collaborative. For businesses and educators alike, it’s a chance to produce high-impact video content without needing advanced tools or design experience. And thanks to deep integration with the rest of Google Workspace, it fits right into your existing workflow.
