Overview

  • Video Overviews now support 80 languages, with availability starting today and a global rollout over the coming week, according to Google.
  • Audio Overviews in those languages transition from brief highlights to full‑length discussions that match the depth of the English experience, with a shorter option still available.
  • Video Overviews debuted last month in English only, turning users’ notes, PDFs, and images into narrated presentations.
  • ZDNET reports NotebookLM added in‑app Audio Overview controls such as response length (English only), guiding prompts, and a language selector, and the team says app buffering time was cut by 95%.
  • Some coverage notes a Studio/UI redesign that lets users create and store multiple outputs per notebook, including several audio or video overviews.
