Live Translation on Zoom with EventCAT: Setup & Compatibility Guide

Problem Summary & Description

Users are inquiring whether EventCAT offers live translation services for Zoom meetings and webinars, and if it is compatible with Zoom Workspace Pro accounts and Large Meeting/Webinar formats. This leads to confusion around support for real-time meetings versus pre-recorded content, and clarity on integration with various Zoom account types.

Why You're Experiencing This Issue

EventCAT is a tool designed for AI-powered transcription and translation. While it does support live translation, its compatibility depends on specific Zoom settings and account types.
Users may also be unaware of Zoom’s native language interpretation feature, or may not have accessed clear documentation regarding integration steps.

Solution: How to Manage Your Time

Method 1: Checking EventCAT’s Compatibility and Features
Description: Verify whether EventCAT supports live translation for Zoom meetings and ensure proper integration.

Steps:

• Visit the EventCAT Official Website and navigate to the live translation features
• Check if your Zoom account type (Workspace Pro, Large Meeting, or Webinar) is supported
• Install the EventCAT plugin from the Zoom Marketplace
• Configure EventCAT settings, including source and target languages
• Test the setup in a sample Zoom meeting to confirm that real-time translation works.

Method 2: Using Zoom’s Built-in Language Interpretation
