About DeepL Voice for Meetings

zd-html-block

DeepL Voice for Meetings provides real-time translation in virtual meetings without requiring a dedicated app or a complex setup process.

Key benefits & value

How it works

1. Connect a meeting (DeepL Voice for Meetings license required) 
   Go to the DeepL website and enter the invitation URL of the meeting you want to translate. 
2. Admit the DeepL bot
   DeepL invites a bot to your meeting. Once the bot joins the meeting, it begins streaming audio for translation and sends a join link to all participants via the meeting Chat.
3. View captions
   Participants follow the link to open a dedicated DeepL browser window and select their preferred meeting language (to speak and to read captions). 

Requirements

• You need a DeepL Voice for Meetings license to connect a meeting.
• Your organization must allow external participants to join your meetings.
  This is required in order for the DeepL bot to join the meeting to stream audio for translation.
• The Chat function must be enabled.
  Once the DeepL bot joins the meeting, it sends a link in the Chat for participants to access meeting translation
• (Optional) Add deepl.com to your trusted domains
  This prevents your organization from blocking the DeepL bot from joining meetings and ensures that the DeepL bot's details are correctly identified and displayed (e.g., name, profile picture).

Meeting types

Available languages

See the full list of available languages - DeepL Voice languages. 

Available features

• Pause translation
  The pause translation feature removes the bot from the meeting, so users can be reassured that no audio is being streamed when sensitive topics are being discussed. Disabling Pause translation will prompt the bot to rejoin the meeting.
• Formality
  Select the tone that best matches your meeting context. Choose between the following options:
  • Formal/polite (default)
    This is best for formal settings, e.g., a meeting with clients
  • Informal/plain
    This is best for casual settings, e.g., a meeting with your team
• Download transcript (not available with the Core plan)
  Download a transcript of your meeting. Learn more - Download meeting transcript. 
• Glossaries (not available with the Core plan)
  Apply a glossary to specify how certain words or phrases should be translated for all users. Learn about the glossary feature - glossary. 
• Spoken terms (not available with the Core plan)
