Choose your preferred caption language for Meet live streams on mobile devices

What’s changing

Google Meet live stream viewers can select their own preferred language for translated captions on mobile devices. Individual language selection helps overcome language barriers during presentations and events, maximizing each viewer's potential to understand and engage with the content being shared.

Previously, Meet live streams were broadcast to mobile devices with a single target language set for captions, selected by the host when starting the live stream. Now, viewers independently select their own preferred language for translated captions and can also change this setting while watching the live stream.
