Open the original- What it measures
- This limit is listed in the limitations section of Google's live transcription guide, for the gemini-3.5-transcribe-live model, which streams audio over WebSockets.

- Google may change the limit. For a recording longer than one session, plan to split the stream across sessions in your own code, since the page lists the limit and does not describe a way to extend a session.
