Zoom has earned a reputation for its ability to connect people globally. However, language differences can pose significant challenges even in the most connected environments.

Building on this foundation, we are excited to announce they have added new language additions, further eliminated language barriers and enhanced global connectivity.

Setting Zoom apart from other meeting providers, users of translated captions can select their preferred speaking language within a meeting or webinar. Promoting seamless interaction among participants, irrespective of language differences.
Whether you’re a multinational corporation conducting global business or a global university with diverse enrolment, translated captions instantly bridge any language gaps.

Translations doesn’t stop at meetings and webinars. In response to the challenge of deciphering messages in a foreign language, Zoom’s Team Chat enables immediate translation as it happens. Furthermore, in order that conversations stay respectful and aligned with company compliance policies, Zoom has introduced a profanity filter. Administrators have the flexibility to create or import and edit a list of offensive words, giving them control over maintaining a professional communication space.
