How to try Veo 3 to create videos with Gemini

Google’s AI video generator, Veo 3, is now available through Gemini—but with specific access limitations that require a bit of effort to bypass. While the tool isn’t yet open to all users globally, it is already possible to test it if you meet certain conditions and follow a few strategic steps.

What you need to access Veo 3

To use Veo 3, you must have a Google AI Pro subscription, which gives you access to the latest Gemini tools. However, since the video generation feature is currently limited to the United States, you’ll also need a VPN to simulate a U.S. location. Services like NordVPN are ideal for this.

After connecting your VPN to a U.S. server, open Gemini in a desktop browser—the video option is not yet available in mobile apps. You’ll see a “Video” button; sometimes it vanishes quickly, so be ready to click it fast or press F5 to reloadthe page and try again.

How to generate a video

Once the feature is active, simply type your prompt describing the scene you want to create. Be concise: Veo 3 generates short, 8-second videos in 720p MP4 format. You can suggest visual styles and moods, but avoid overloading it with too many details.

After a few seconds of processing, Gemini will present your video. You can watch it, download it, or even ask Gemini to regenerate it. Keep in mind that usage is limited—you’ll likely be able to create around 10 to 12 videos per week, though Google hasn’t published an exact cap.
