Google Announces NotebookLM Video Overviews Feature Expands To 80 Languages

Reading time: 3 min

Google announced that the Video Overviews feature on NotebookLM is now available in 80 languages on Monday. The update aligns with other app features’ language expansions, such as Voice Overviews.

In a rush? Here are the quick facts:

  • Google announced that Video Overviews is now available in 80 languages.
  • NotebookLM’s team has also optimized Audio Overviews to enhance performance in non-English languages.
  • The company said that it will include more languages soon.

According to Google’s announcement, Video Overviews can now be used in 80 languages, offering users results comparable to those obtained in English in languages such as Spanish, Dutch, Hungarian, Persian, or Tamil.

“Today we’re announcing two key updates to NotebookLM: Video Overviews are now available in 80 languages globally, and we’re significantly upgrading all Audio Overviews to be more comprehensive and in-depth,” wrote Sam Dealy, engineer at Google Labs.

Google launched Video Overviews last month, while Audio Overviews—the AI-powered tool that creates entertaining podcasts from the texts and other provided data—was introduced in September last year.

Audio Overviews was updated in April to include 50 additional languages, expanding its availability to over 200 countries, and it now supports 80 languages as well. The latest update further optimizes the tool to deliver results on par with its English version.

“Non-English Audio Overviews will now mirror the rich, detailed experience of the English version, providing a more thorough discussion of your sources in all of the supported languages,” explained Dealy in the announcement.

With the latest updates, users can not only have AI-generated “podcasts” translated into multiple languages but also generate videos using the AI-powered tool designed to help people study and explore topics more deeply.

From its NotebookLM account on the social media platform X, Google shared a list of supported languages, assured users that more will be added soon, and encouraged followers to make suggestions.

“We’re working hard to support even more languages. Please keep giving us your feedback and let us know– what languages do we not support yet that we should?” states the post.

In May, Google launched NotebookLM’s app for Android and iOS, including offline features allowing users to listen to Audio Overviews without interruptions.
