How to use live translation and captions with Wordly on Zoom

For this webinar, we provide two different language-support tools:

  • Wordly (Read): live transcript with written translations (many language options)
  • Zoom Interpretation (Listen): spoken interpretation audio in French or Russian

You can use either (or both) during the session. You don't need a Wordly account or to download the Wordly app to see translations and captions started by your host.

Troubleshooting

  • Click Apps in the Zoom toolbar (you may need to click More (…) first), then select Wordly.
  • If you still can’t see Wordly, leave the webinar and rejoin using the Zoom desktop/mobile app (not a browser join).
  • If Wordly still doesn’t appear, ask the organiser to re-share the Wordly link in the Zoom chat and use the browser option to read the transcript/translation.

  • Click Apps (or More (…) → Apps) and select Wordly again to reopen the window.
  • If it won’t reopen, leave and rejoin the webinar, then open Apps → Wordly again.

  • In some Zoom layouts, Interpretation sits under More (…) rather than on the main toolbar.
    • Click More (…) → Interpretation → select your language (French or Russian)
    • If available, enable Mute Original Audio for clearer listening.

  • Make sure you’re using the Zoom desktop or mobile app (not a browser join, if possible).
  • If Apps still isn’t visible, your organisation may restrict Zoom Apps. In that case, use the Wordly browser link for reading the transcript/translation.

  • If you are listening to interpretation, enable Mute Original Audio in the Interpretation menu to reduce or remove the original-language audio.

If the button isn’t visible, it means the audio output for that language isn’t supported, or you’re using the Display or High Contrast display modes.
