1. Click Schedule to schedule a meeting.
2. Next to Meeting ID, select Generate Automatically. (This setting is required for language interpretation.)
3. Next to Interpretation, select the Enable language interpretation check box.
4. Enter the information for your interpreters. The languages you select for interpreters will create audio channels for those languages in your meeting.
5. Click Save when you are finished.

Note: Language interpretation cannot be initiated or managed when using the Zoom mobile app. Participants joining from the Zoom mobile app can only listen to interpretation audio channels and view interpreted text.

1. Sign in to the Zoom desktop client.
2. Once your meeting has started, click Interpretation in the meeting controls.
3. Click Start to begin the interpretation sessions.
4. After the host clicks Start, the interpreters will receive a message they have been assigned a language.
5. Interpreters and attendees can now click Interpretation in the meeting controls and select a language channel.
6. To end the interpretation session(s), the host must click Interpretation in the meeting control and can click End to stop the sessions.

Note: The pre-assigned interpreters must be signed-in to the account associated with the chosen email address. If they are not signed-in with that email address when joining the session, they will not be recognized as an interpreter; the host however can manually assign them to be the interpreter within the meeting.

As a language interpreter, you can only broadcast to one language channel at a time.

You can only join language interpretation from computer audio. You cannot use the dial-in or call me phone audio features.

Once a meeting host assigns you as a language interpreter, a window will pop up notifying you which language you are responsible for:

1. Sign in to Zoom desktop client and join a meeting that you have been assigned as an interpreter by the host.
2. Click OK to accept the language you have been assigned to interpret to.
3. To switch between audio channels during the meeting:
4. Click the language of the audio channel you want to broadcast to.
5. Speak in the language of the audio channel you are broadcasting to.
