How do I enable live captions in Google Meet?

Asked 5 months ago
To enable live captions in Google Meet, users can follow a straightforward process during their meetings. Once the meeting has commenced, they should navigate to the bottom of the Google Meet window. Here, they will find a menu with options such as "More" or a three-dot icon, depending on their interface. By clicking this icon, a dropdown menu will appear, showing various options. Users should select the "Turn on captions" option. Once this is selected, live captions will appear at the bottom of the screen, transcribing spoken words in real time. These captions can be particularly helpful for participants who are deaf or hard of hearing or for those who prefer to read the dialogue. If adjustments are needed, users can toggle the captions on and off as desired. For additional information or any potential updates related to this feature, it is advisable to check the current web page for Google Meet.
