Google Meet live captions are expanding to Cantonese

What’s happening
We’re adding support for Cantonese to Google Meet’s live caption feature. This allows users to view real-time text of what is being spoken in the meeting, making it easier to follow along and participate.

This update directly enhances accessibility and inclusion for your organization’s users who speak Cantonese, ensuring that important discussions, presentations, and training sessions are fully accessible and understood by all participants, regardless of their hearing ability or connectivity.

When a Cantonese speaker is talking in Google Meet, their words will now appear instantly as captions on the screen.

Getting started

• Admins: This is a new, end-user feature and there is no admin control to enable or disable it. Cantonese live captions will be available to all eligible users in your organization by default.
• End users: This feature will be available by default. Use our Help Center to learn more about live captions in Meet.

Rollout pace

• Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Full rollout (1–3 days for feature visibility) starting October 9, 2025.

Availability

• Available to all Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google accounts
