Google is narrowing the gap between the Gemini desktop app and its web counterpart, with several unreleased changes now in testing. Dedicated tabs for image and video generation are being added to the app's navigation, and an app configuration panel has appeared on the desktop for the first time. A second track is a camera attachment, where users would select a camera option from the attachment menu, which opens a capture screen, takes a picture, and drops it into the prompt, reading as photo capture rather than a live video stream. The third piece sits with Spark, whose connectors menu on desktop now includes an option to add custom MCP servers, bringing something previously confined to internal configuration into the visible agent settings. Timing is unclear; these are trusted-tester builds with no public rollout date. The context is a busy month: Spark reached macOS on July 1 alongside Google Tasks and Keep connections, and intelligent dictation and screen-aware reasoning began rolling out on July 29. Together, generation tabs, camera capture, and connector management would leave fewer reasons to open the browser.
