Your custom Gems are now shareableWhat:Starting today, you can share the Gems that you create with friends, family and colleagues. Gems are a simple way to customise Gemini to achieve your specific goals. This means that you can tackle recurring tasks without retyping lengthy prompts and providing context each time.Share your weekly meal planner Gem to help a friend get inspiration, or send your holiday planner Gem to a family member before their big trip. To share, simply open your Gem manager on the web and click 'Share' next to any Gem that you've created. Sharing Gems works just like sharing files in Google Drive, giving you control over who can view or edit your Gem. Visit theHelp Centreto learn more about sharing Gems.Why:Turn your favourite Gems into a shared resource so that you can help others also save time on repetitive prompting and get started more easily. Rather than creating from scratch, you can use a fine-tuned Gem with effective instructions with friends or even an entire organisation.

- **Graceful Disconnect Notification:** Receive a `GoAway` server message indicating when a connection is about to close, allowing for graceful handling before termination.
- **More Control over Interaction Dynamics**

- **Configurable Voice Activity Detection (VAD):** Choose sensitivity
levels or disable automatic VAD entirely and use new client events
(`activityStart`, `activityEnd`) for manual turn control.

- **Configurable Interruption Handling:** Decide whether user input
should interrupt the model's response.

- **Configurable Turn Coverage:** Choose whether the API processes all
audio and video input continuously or only captures it when the end-user
is detected speaking.

- **Configurable Media Resolution:** Optimize for quality or token usage
by selecting the resolution for input media.

- **Richer Output and Features**

- **Expanded Voice \& Language Options:** Choose from two new voices and
30 new languages for audio output. The output l
