Is it possible to use the Google Meet API to live transcribe audio or video as the meeting progresses? Because there's no mention of transcription or any other speech-to-text or audio stream access integrations. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it does. Google Meet provides the transcription feature. If you're the host of Google Meet, Google will automatically transcribe your meeting, save it to your Google Drive, and email the transcripts to you.

Please refer to the following clicks to turn on transcripts for your Google Meet calls.

▶️Open your Google Meet > go to Activities > select Transcripts > click Start Transcription > click Start.

However, if you want to transcribe a recorded Google Meet call, the best solution is to use a professional video-to-text converter like EaseUS RecExperts.
