How does Interprefy's plug-in for Microsoft Teams work?

Interprefy has partnered with Microsoft to make your Microsoft Teams meetings truly multilingual through simultaneous interpretation.

First announced at Microsoft Ignite 2020, Interprefy's plug-in for Microsoft Teams is a simultaneous interpretation add-on for MS Teams meetings that allows your event participants to join the conversation in their preferred language.

How it works

  • Interprefy brings professional conference interpreters to your meeting, rendering the speech in real-time into the required languages.
  • Interprefy can help source interpreters for your required language combinations and subject expertise, or alternatively, train your own interpretation teams on platform usage.

Benefits

  • Offer meeting participants the opportunity to listen and speak in a language they're proficient in.
  • Access to unmatched language talent through Interprefy's partnerships with leading language service providers.
  • Interprefy provides project and technical support before and during your event.
  • Seamless user experience for participants through a simple and powerful language selector in Teams.
