Google is here with a fresh accessibility update to Google Meet. Users can now tweak how captions look during a meeting, with full control over font size, style, and color. The change affects desktop and Android users, with iOS support on the way.

This update gives users the ability to pick from various fonts (sans-serif, serif, monospace), adjust sizes (small to extra large), and switch up text or background colors for better contrast. Whether you need bold yellow text on black or prefer larger subtitles for easier reading, Meet now supports these preferences directly.

The feature lands across nearly all Google Workspace plans: Business, Enterprise, Education, and personal Google accounts. Admins don’t need to flip any switches as the option appears automatically under the “Captions” tab in meeting settings.

Google says these updates aim to improve meeting accessibility, especially for people with hearing loss, visual impairments, or those using second languages. These tweaks also help presenters manage visibility better in high-noise or low-resolution scenarios.

This marks another small but meaningful upgrade in Google’s efforts to make Meet’s experience better. Over the past year, the platform added live translated captions, emoji reactions, and dynamic layouts. Now, making captions more readable puts the control back in users’ hands.
