Off Platform: video conferencing (Zoom, Teams, etc.)

Getting ready for a Zoom or Microsoft Teams call? Here’s how to bring an interpreter with you:

1. Request an interpreter by following the VRI (Video Remote Interpreting) instructions in your Welcome Pack.

2. Copy the Zoom or Microsoft Teams link for your meeting.
   This needs to be the full link that takes the interpreter directly into your specific Zoom or Microsoft Teams meeting. A link with meeting ID or any other details will not work.

3. Once connected to the interpreter, let the interpreter know you have a meeting and paste the link into the chat box - see below:
   
   
   

💡 Tip: Before the meeting begins, have a quick chat with the interpreter. Let them know what the meeting is about and any context that might help — this makes the interpreting smoother and more effective.
