NotebookLM has embraced the French language. In a blog post dated Monday, August 25, 2025, Google revealed that NotebookLM’s Video Overviews feature is now available in over 80 additional languages, including French.
NotebookLM’s Video Summary Feature Now Supports French
Introduced in July but previously only available in English, the Video Overviews feature allows users to convert a collection of documents into an explanatory video, complete with an AI-generated voiceover.
Specifically, within the NotebookLM Studio, the app’s creation interface, users can upload a series of files or links (PDFs, text, graphics, audio clips, voice recordings, YouTube videos, etc.), and specify in a prompt what they want to extract from these inputs. After clicking the Video Summary button, which appears on the right side of the interface, the AI generates a concise video that includes visuals, definitions, diagrams, or quotes, aimed at “quickly grasping the key concepts from your sources, saving you time sorting through information and giving you more time to learn and create,” explains Google.

Initially designed for students, researchers, professionals, and broadly the younger generations, this impressive feature can also be used by “curious minds looking to acquire a new skill through a complex tutorial,” adds Google. The rollout is ongoing and it is expected to be available to everyone “by next week.”
Audio Overviews Enhanced in Other Languages, Including French
Simultaneously, Google announced improvements to Audio Overviews for languages other than English. This flagship NotebookLM feature, which offers a similar experience but in the form of podcasts hosted by AI-generated speakers, will now provide in French “the same depth, structure, and nuances as our English Audio Overviews,” the company boasts. “You will hear complete and coherent discussions that synthesize ideas from your sources, not just brief snippets, ensuring that your language choice no longer limits the quality of the insights,” Google adds, noting that the update is already deployed.
