How to Enable Live Translated Captions in Google Meet Calls

(Pocket-lint) – Google Meet has introduced live translated captions for video calls.
Google started testing the feature last year. It works on the web or from mobile, but it can only translate English to French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. Still, it’s a step towards more inclusive video calls, as it removes all potential language fluency barriers.
We can imagine it being useful in bare-knuckle or training meetings, as well as in education, but also only during one-on-one calls with friends.

To start using live translated captions in Google Meet, you must first enable captions in settings, then set it to English and enable translated captions. You can choose from one of four translated language options.
