What changed: Powered by Gemini 3.5 Live Translate, Google Meet's speech translation now covers 63 languages on web, Android and iOS, automatically detects the spoken language, lets each participant turn translation on or off individually, and syncs translated captions with the translated audio.

Who is affected

Users on Business Standard/Plus, Enterprise Standard/Plus, Frontline Plus, Google AI Pro/Ultra, Google AI Pro for Education, and AI Expanded Access/AI Ultra Access plans, plus any guest joining meetings organized by an eligible account.

What it means for your business

For businesses using Google Meet, this means team members and clients speaking different languages can now join the same call and get live translation without pre-configuring a single language pair.

What to do

Admins should review the Gemini for Meet setting under Admin console > Apps > Google Workspace > Google Meet > Gemini settings at the OU or group level; end users can enable the feature themselves via the translation control in the meeting toolbar.

When it takes effect

Rolling out fully to Rapid Release domains starting October 22, 2026, and gradually (up to 15 days) to Scheduled Release domains starting November 2, 2026.
