Chrome extension · Google Meet
A live translator for Google Meet.
The use·Fishu Chrome extension translates Google Meet both ways. You read everyone else in your language, and they read and hear you in theirs, without installing anything.
Free to start: 1 hour a month, no card needed. No bot joins your call.
Both directions, in one extension.
In Google Meet, Fishu helps you follow the call and lets everyone else follow you, each in their own language.
Read everyone else
What others say appears in your language in a floating subtitle window over the meeting, with the original underneath. Lines settle once a sentence is clear, so nothing jumps around.
Hear them in your language
Choose “+ interpreter” and a voice speaks their words in your language, just for you. Their real voices go quieter underneath. Headphones work best.
Speak your own language Pro
Pick Usefishu Camera and your translated words are drawn on the bottom of your camera picture. Add “+ my voice” and Usefishu Mic carries an interpreter voice in their language.
Set it up once, in a few minutes.
After that, Meet remembers your choices for the next call.
- Add the extension to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store, then pin it: click the puzzle piece next to the address bar and the pin next to Usefishu.
- Pick your languages. Click the Usefishu icon. Under When I speak, choose the language you speak and the one others should read; under Subtitles in, the language you want to read.
- Choose the Usefishu camera and mic in Meet. In a call, open Settings › Audio and Video and pick Usefishu Camera and Usefishu Mic. They wrap your real camera and microphone.
- Talk. Your translated words appear on your camera for everyone in the call, and their words appear in your floating subtitle window.
Two interpreter voices.
This computer uses the voice built into your computer. It is free on every plan, starts instantly and counts like subtitles, but sounds more robotic and varies by language.
Natural is a lifelike voice made on our servers. It sounds like a person and uses your hours three times as fast. Switch any time: the free voice for long internal calls, the natural one when it matters.

Meetings outside Google Meet?
The extension covers Google Meet. For Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Webex and any other app that plays sound, Fishu for desktop reads and speaks everyone else in your language, and keeps each meeting's transcript on your own computer.

Do the other people in the Meet call need to install anything?
No. Only you install the extension. Your translated subtitles travel on your camera picture and the interpreter voice on your microphone, so everyone else sees and hears them in Google Meet as it is.
Does a bot join my Google Meet call?
No. Nobody sees an extra participant. The extension works inside your own Chrome tab, with the same sound you hear and the camera and microphone you already use.
Does the extension work in Zoom or Microsoft Teams?
No, the Chrome extension is for Google Meet only. For Zoom, Teams, Slack, Webex and any other app that plays sound, use Fishu for desktop on macOS, Windows or Linux.
Can the others hear me in their language?
Yes, on the Pro plan. Choose “+ my voice” and Usefishu Mic carries an interpreter voice that says your words in their language, with your real voice quieter underneath.
Others hear an echo, or the interpreter twice. Why?
Use headphones. Speakers play the interpreter into your microphone, so it gets translated again.
Is my Google Meet call recorded?
No. Audio you choose to translate is streamed to our servers, translated and discarded; it isn't stored or used to train models. Your camera picture never leaves your computer: subtitles are drawn on it locally.
