Google Meet already runs in the browser, which makes it the simplest call to translate. Open the meeting in Chrome, start SubLive on that tab and read what everyone says in your language, in a window above the call. Whose Google account the meeting belongs to, and who organised it, makes no difference.
Free minutes after you confirm your email. No card required.
Meet’s own translated captions are limited to certain Google Workspace editions. SubLive does not look at the plan: a personal Gmail account, a client’s Workspace and a meeting link from someone you have never met all work the same way.
In dialog mode every voice gets its own label. On Meet, SubLive also matches each voice with the participant tile that lights up while it speaks and puts that person’s name on the line. Names stay on your screen and are not added to a saved transcript.
SubLive translates what you hear. Your own voice is not translated for the others, so if the client needs your words in their language, a shared language or Meet’s own speech translation still has to cover that direction.
Use the link from the invite or go to meet.google.com. Google lists Chrome among the browsers Meet supports, so there is nothing else to install.
Choose the language you read. With more than two people on the call, switch on dialog mode so each line shows who said it.
Subtitles appear in a window on the page. Put it above all windows if you switch to another app during the call.
Say a client in Spain runs the weekly call from their company’s Google Workspace, in Spanish. You follow Spanish slowly, and their Meet settings are not yours to change.
You open the link in Chrome, choose English and start SubLive in dialog mode. After a few exchanges the lines carry names, so when the questions about price and about delivery dates come from two different people, you know whom to answer. If transcript saving is on, the discussion is there as text after the call. If it is off, nothing is kept.
Meet’s built-in options, translated captions and speech translation, are covered in Google Meet translation: built-in captions, speech translation and a Chrome extension.
