Google IO 2025 takes place today, and you’ll be able to watch the keynote livestream right here, via the video player above.

While IO is predominantly a developer conference, the opening keynote of the two-day event always delivers exciting news on new products and services Google has been working on.

We’re expecting a bumper crop of announcements from the search giant, including more information on Android 16 – although Google revealed a lot last week in its Android Show – updates to its Gemini AI, and possibly new VR headsets / AR glasses alongside its dedicated Android XR platform.

How long is the Google IO 2025 keynote?

While Google hasn’t confirmed how long this year’s keynote will be, history suggests we’ll be in for a lengthy session.
