- Select the best microphone for your event type
- Speak from a quiet, echo-proof environment
- When it's your turn to speak, if you are not using the Interprefy meeting platform, make sure you turn off the interpretation or mute the audio, or you will hear yourself interpreted in another language!
- Be mindful of untranslatables, such as cultural expressions, idioms, and jokes
- If you have any problem with your microphone or headset, ensure they are plugged in and are selected as the correct input and output devices on your computer
