Frequently asked questions about using Zoom with Wordly

Do I need a Wordly account to use the Wordly App for Zoom?
If you are only joining a Wordly translation session being hosted by someone else, then a you don't need a Wordly account.
However, if you wish to host a Wordly translation session within your own Zoom meeting for others to join, then you must have a Wordly account and have enough minutes to run the session.
Can I listen to translations during a Zoom session?
The Wordly App for Zoom doesn't currently support spoken output in translated languages. However, the browser-based attend.wordly.ai interface does support spoken output. This interface is accessible via the Live on Wordly streaming links. See "Wordly in a Browser" in Hosting a Zoom meeting.
