SubLive reads the audio your browser is already playing and shows the translation in a window that floats above everything else. Nobody is added to the call, no recording is created, and the people you are talking to see nothing on their screen.
Free minutes after you confirm your email. No card required.
What makes this case different
No bot joins the meeting
Note-taker bots appear in the participant list as a guest with a name like “Someone's assistant”. That is a conversation of its own, before yours has even started. SubLive lives in your browser, so the call has exactly the participants it had a minute ago.
Your microphone stays off unless you ask
The extension reads audio the tab plays, which is everyone except you. Your microphone stays off unless you save a transcript (your own replies are then added to it) or turn on “Stop dubbing while I speak” (only loudness is measured, on your computer). Your own voice is never translated or shown as subtitles.
The words your team actually uses
Product names, internal terms and client names come from your own glossary, so a call about a product called “Runway” does not turn into a call about an airstrip.
How it works here
Open the meeting in Chrome
Google Meet, Zoom Web, Microsoft Teams in the browser, Whereby, Jitsi — anything that plays sound in a tab.
Pick the language you read
If the call is in one of the 10 automatically detected languages, the spoken language is picked up on its own, even when the call switches between two of them. For any other language, choose it once before you start.
Start, and read above the call
Subtitles appear in a window on the page — put it on top of all windows and it stays visible while you take notes in another app.
What it will not do
The desktop Zoom and Teams applications are not captured — SubLive hears Chrome tabs, not other programs on your computer. Join the meeting in the browser and it works.
The output is not a certified translation and not minutes of the meeting. Check anything with consequences against what was actually said.
Consent is your responsibility. Several US states require every participant to agree before a conversation may be processed, and the extension cannot ask for you.
Questions people ask about this
Will other participants know I am using it?
Nothing appears in the meeting: no extra participant, no notification, no change to what they see or hear. That is exactly why the law, not the interface, decides whether you may use it — read the Recording & Consent notice before a call where consent is required.
Does it work with Zoom and Microsoft Teams?
In the browser, yes: Zoom Web and Teams in a tab work the same as Google Meet. The installed desktop apps do not, because their audio never reaches Chrome.
Is the meeting recorded?
No. Audio is processed in memory and never written to disk. A text transcript is saved only if you switch that on yourself. On a personal account it waits under Recordings in the extension until you download it, and the server deletes it 24 hours later; a company keeps it in its admin panel for as long as the company decided, up to 30 days.
Can I keep a summary of the call?
Yes, if transcript saving is on. A saved conversation can be summarised by AI, and you can have that summary emailed to you when the call ends. Both are off until you turn them on.
