Give interpreters access to the displayed material and identify the page or item being discussed. Use labels rather than saying here. Advance reference files avoid relying on tiny text inside a shared screen image.

Make the call audible, visible and recoverable

Test the actual devices and account. Confirm hosting, consecutive delivery or supported language channels, and document-sharing permissions. Avoid multiple open loudspeakers in the same room. Agree a backup contact and a pause rule when information is lost. Update time zones when rescheduling. Recording and reuse should be agreed separately.

Preparation checklist

  • Meeting link, time zone and host.
  • Headsets, microphones and necessary permissions.
  • Reference files and a screen-sharing fallback.
  • Backup contact and last-heard-sentence confirmation.
A person reviews paper documents at a desk.

Illustrative scenario

Two participants filter a spreadsheet differently. Reading the row code and column name helps the interpreter identify the correct cell before conveying its value.

Frequently asked question

Does every app support the same interpreting setup?

Do not assume so. Check the version, account and actual arrangement before confirming the method.
