Imagine inviting the AI Interpreter and instantly seeing translations appear in your Zoom window, making your meetings faster, more inclusive, and way less stressful. Say goodbye to juggling tabs and hello to a smoother, smarter way to run multilingual meetings!

Note: If you’ve already registered on our website (www.eventcat.com/en), you can configure your speaking and target languages, upload glossaries, and set your data deletion preferences in the Preferences tab. Once saved, these settings will automatically apply every time you log in via Zoom.

You can access EventCAT either from the Zoom Apps tab before joining a meeting or from the Apps panel inside an ongoing meeting. Once EventCAT is open, you can:

  • Paste your Zoom meeting link.

  • Select speaking and target languages.

  • Choose the glossaries you want to apply.

  • Review your Data Deletion Policy.

This allows you to start using EventCAT before your meeting begins or while it’s already in progress, whichever is more convenient.
