Beta
Understand live streams
Bilingual captions about a second after someone speaks. Sports commentary, product launches, game streams and online classes — keep up as it happens.
How it works
Three steps
Open the live stream
Live streams on YouTube, Twitch, X and other sites all work.
Choose Live translation in the extension
Click the WatchTranslate icon in the toolbar, choose Live translation, then pick your language.
Captions in about a second
Captions sit on the video; pages without a video get a floating window. Your caption history stays on your own computer.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How is live translation different from video translation?
Video translation works ahead and lets you export subtitles; live translation follows the audio in real time, made for live streams, launches and classes.
How much does it cost?
2 points a minute, billed by the second. You're only charged while there's sound — nothing when you stop or the page is silent.
When will everyone get it?
During the beta we open it account by account as people apply, then roll it out to more people.
