Google is opening Veo 3 to free users for a short window via the Gemini app. You can make three videos on the Veo 3 Fast tier, each 8 seconds at 720p with audio, until Sunday 10:00 p.m. PT (Monday 10:30 a.m. IST).
The basics
- Where: Gemini app (mobile or web), look for “Video: Generate with Veo.”
- How much: 3 free generations total for the weekend.
- Model/tier: Veo 3 Fast — quicker to render; 8s, 720p, with sound.
- End time: 10:00 p.m. PT Sunday / 10:30 a.m. IST Monday.
Quick start (step-by-step)
- Open Gemini (app or web).
- Tap the three-dot menu in the prompt bar.
- Choose “Video: Generate with Veo.”
- Describe the scene (action, camera, style) and any audio you want (music, ambient, dialogue). Generate.
Note: Google’s product lead Josh Woodward said the team spun up “a LOAD of TPUs” ahead of the trial, which suggests high demand during the window.
What paid plans usually get (for context)
- Google AI Pro: typically 3 Veo 3 Fast generations per day.
- AI Ultra / Flow: broader access and higher-quality options on the web.
