How can I have an interpreter join a video conferencing platform like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, WebEx or Google Meet?
Here are brief steps-by-steps to do so!
- Go to Convo Now on the web or mobile Convo Now app.
- We recommend using the web app, if possible, for a better video conferencing experience.
- Get an interpreter, and let the interpreter know that you would like to have them join your video conference meeting.
- Share the video conference link via chat on Convo Now.
- Give the interpreter a bit of time to open up link and join the meeting. Be sure to give them the passcode/password and other information, if required.
- Once the interpreter is in your video conference meeting, you can do ether of two things:
- Stay with an interpreter through Convo Now and through the video conferencing app at the same time.
- However, our Interpreters use systems that don't allow multiple video feeds at the same time. So one of the interpreters' videos will be hidden; either on the video conferencing app or on Convo Now.
- Stay with an interpreter through Convo Now and through the video conferencing app at the same time.
-
- End the call with an interpreter via Convo Now and continue the conversation through the video conferencing app.
- The Interpreter(s) will document the total duration of the meeting, which will be reflected on your account shortly afterwards.
