      Interprefy Agent for Microsoft Teams

      Seamless audio capture for effortless multilingual meetings

      What is Interprefy Agent

      Interprefy Agent is our seamless solution for streaming crystal-clear audio from your Microsoft Teams meetings directly to the Interprefy platform — without the need for complex audio connections or virtual cables.

      Its core purpose is to provide high-quality, live AI speech translation and/or captions for your Microsoft Teams meetings, ensuring an effortless experience for both hosts and attendees.

      How Interprefy Agent works with Microsoft Teams

      Interprefy Agent joins your Microsoft Teams meeting as a smart, automated participant to capture audio and securely stream it to Interprefy platform. The content is then translated in real-time by Interprefy’s AI technology and delivered to your meeting participants in their selected languages.

      Interprefy Captions and AI Speech Translation are automatically enabled once the meeting starts.

      Shortly after connecting, Interprefy Agent sends two automated messages in the meeting chat containing the Audience link ensuring meeting hosts and participants can easily access Interprefy's live AI Speech Translation and Captions.

      Audience link in the meeting chat can be opened via a browser or on a mobile device.

      Step-by-Step guide for Hosts

      1. Request a dedicated email for your event – Contact your Project Manager to request a dedicated Interprefy Agent email address for your meeting (one email address per meeting).

      2. Invite Interprefy Agent – When scheduling your Microsoft Teams meeting, invite the Interprefy Agent email address just like adding another participant. We recommend scheduling a meeting with at least 10 minutes notice to allow the service to join.

      3. Start the meeting – When the Microsoft Teams meeting begins, Interprefy Agent will join automatically.

      4. Automatic captions – Captions will be switched on automatically once the meeting starts.

      5. End of the meeting – When all participants have left the meeting, Interprefy Agent will leave and captions will stop automatically.

      How it looks

      • Appearance - Interprefy Agent appears as any other participant in the meeting with the camera switched off.
      • Chat messages – Shortly after joining, Interprefy Agent posts two messages in the meeting chat:
      1. "This is the Interprefy Agent service. It will stream the audio from this meeting to the Interprefy Platform for translation."
      2. “To access live translation please use this link: actual audience link URL”

      Please note that participants cannot send chat messages directly to Interprefy Agent.

      How to manage the Microsoft Teams volume when listening to translation via a browser link

      To manage meeting audio while listening to translation via Interprefy web app:

      • Windows users can reduce their meeting audio volume using the Audio settings in Microsoft Teams. Clicking More (in navigation bar) → Settings → Device settings. Under Speaker, you’ll see a volume slider — this controls the meeting volume you hear.

      Even if the volume is set to Zero for one meeting, Microsoft Teams restores the volume automatically to 25% for the next meeting.

      • For the best experience using Mac, we recommend following AI Speech Translation and Captions on your mobile device by clicking the audience link on your mobile device. This allows you to keep Microsoft Teams audio active for the meeting while clearly hearing the translated stream on your phone.
        You can also use the Interprefy App by typing in the Token name for that meeting which appears after "Token=" (in the link).

      Mac users can also lower meeting audio in Microsoft Teams app by clicking More (in navigation bar) → Settings → Devices → Lower the speaker volume slider there.

      The lowered volume will need to be turned back up after the Teams meeting ends.

      Flexibility and limitations

      Here are some important points to keep in mind when planning your meeting with Interprefy Agent.

      • Interprefy Agent supports multiple floor languages. With both automatic or manual language switching options.

      Manual language switching is managed through the Host interface on the Interprefy platform.

      • Interprefy Agent does not record the meeting audio. If you require meeting recordings or translated audio recordings for your event, please contact your project manager or sales contact.
      • Pre-Scheduled Meetings Only: Interprefy Agent is currently designed to support pre-scheduled meetings only. It doesn't support ad-hoc Microsoft Teams meetings.
      • Non-standard meetings: Microsoft Teams sessions such as Registration-required meetings & webinars, Teams Live Events, Town Hall Events and Teams breakout rooms are not supported by Interprefy Agent.
