Google Meet adds 63-language real-time speech translation with auto detection
Google Meet now offers real‑time speech translation in 63 languages, powered by Gemini 3.5 Live Translate. The feature works on web, Android and iOS apps and on Meet hardware devices (listening only). Automatic spoken‑language detection translates each speaker into the listener’s chosen language, allowing any combination of the supported languages within a single meeting.

It is enabled automatically for users on eligible Google Workspace or Google AI plans, with a 90‑minute limit per meeting for base Workspace and Google AI Pro/Plus plans and up to 8 hours for AI Expanded Access, AI Ultra Access, and Google AI Ultra plans. The service does not work in live streams, recordings, client‑side encrypted meetings, dial‑in calls, third‑party interoperability calls, or when adaptive audio is used, and it is subject to regional and age restrictions.
