## Summary

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.

The translation control is off by default and can be turned on by individual participants from the meeting toolbar. 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. Rapid‑release domains receive the feature within 1–3 days of the Oct 22 2026 launch; scheduled‑release domains roll out over up to 15 days starting Nov 2 2026.

## Key points

- Speech translation now supports 63 languages and auto‑detects spoken language for each participant.
- Individual controls let users enable translation per meeting; captions sync with translated audio.
- Feature is on by default for eligible Workspace/AI plans, with 90‑minute limit on base plans and up to 8‑hour limit on expanded plans.

## Why it matters

Real‑time multilingual translation lowers language barriers for global teams, making Google Meet more usable for international collaboration and expanding Google’s AI‑driven productivity suite.
