Video meetings
Live meeting translation lets everyone in a video call follow along in their own language while it is happening. With Mingle, each participant opens one link in a browser and reads real-time captions in the language they choose — or hears the translation spoken. Nothing is installed, and guests do not need a licence or an account.
Daniel speaks Spanish. Everyone else reads along in their own language, on their own screen. Pick the language you’d read in.

Mingle is the meeting room itself, not an add-on to another platform. That is what makes it work when the people you most need to understand are outside your organisation and would not have your platform’s licence.
The honest version
There are three practical ways to run a meeting across languages. They suit different situations, and the honest answer is that the first one is best when you can use it.
Teams, Zoom and Meet each translate captions natively. It is the smoothest option when it applies, because nothing extra joins the call. The catch is licensing and language coverage: the paid tier is usually required, the translated-language list is shorter than the transcription list, and entitlement follows the organiser rather than the guest.
Best when everyone is inside one licensed tenant.
A bot joins as a participant, records, and produces a transcript and summary afterwards. Strong for records and searchability. Less suited to being understood in the moment, and the bot is visible in the participant list — which is awkward with clients, and often blocked by the lobby or by IT policy.
Best when the value is the record, not the conversation.
The call itself runs in a meeting room where translation is the point: everyone joins by link, and each person reads captions and hears speech in the language they chose. Nobody installs anything and guests need no licence. The trade-off is that it is its own call, not an add-on to Teams, Zoom or Meet. That is the approach Mingle takes.
Best when guests are external, or speak languages your usual platform will not cover.
How it works
Three steps, and the third one is just talking.
Sign in to a free Mingle account, start or schedule a meeting, and send the link the way you would send any other. Guests open it in a browser on a phone or laptop, with nothing to install and no account needed.
Each participant chooses their own language independently. One person can read Arabic while another reads Spanish and a third reads English, all in the same meeting.
Captions appear live as people speak, each in the reader’s own language. Anyone who would rather listen than read can have the translation spoken aloud instead.
What you get
Language is chosen per participant, not per meeting. A call does not have to settle on one shared second language for everyone.
No download, no account, no licence on the guest side. The host needs a free Mingle account. Guests without an account join on the free guest allowance for their device, which covers a limited number of meetings.
Translation can be spoken aloud rather than read, which helps when someone is driving, presenting, or simply prefers listening.
After the meeting, the host is emailed minutes in their own language: a summary, key points, decisions and action items with owners.
Meetings can be scheduled ahead of time, and admission can be gated so participants are approved before they enter.
Not every conversation is remote. For two people in the same room, Mingle’s face-to-face mode runs on one phone between them.
That last point matters more than it sounds. The same session that runs a remote meeting also works with one device on a counter, which is how it gets used at a hotel front desk on a night shift or when a pharmacist needs to explain a dosage.
Already on another platform?
Every major platform now has some form of built-in translation, each with its own licensing and language limits. These guides cover what each one actually does, and where a browser-based option makes more sense.
The comparison pages cover how Mingle differs from these and other alternatives, including DeepL Voice, which adds translation inside Teams, Zoom and Meet calls.
Worth knowing before you rely on it.
Languages
Participants mix languages freely within one meeting. Arabic is handled by dialect rather than as a single language, which matters for anyone working across the Gulf and Egypt.
FAQ
Live meeting translation converts speech into another language while the meeting is happening, rather than afterwards. Participants read captions in their own language while the speaker is still talking, and can hear the translation spoken moments later, so the conversation keeps moving instead of stopping for interpretation. A meeting translator like Mingle does this for every participant at once, each in the language they choose.
No. Guests open a link in their browser on a phone or laptop. There is nothing to download and no account is required to join. Only the host needs a free Mingle account.
Yes. Each participant chooses their own language independently, so one person can read Arabic, another Spanish, and another English in the same call.
Decide where the call happens first. If everyone can stay on Teams, Zoom or Google Meet and that platform's translated captions cover your languages, use them. If people speak several different languages, or some guests are outside your organisation, hold the call in Mingle: send one link, and each person chooses their language, reads captions and can hear the translation spoken. Ask people to speak one at a time, and keep a qualified interpreter for legal or medical discussions.
No. Mingle is its own video meeting room, not an add-on to those platforms, and no bot joins your Zoom or Teams call. You hold the call in Mingle instead. If it has to stay on one of those platforms, their built-in translated captions are the better option.
More than 60. The full list is on the languages page.
Yes. Translation can be read aloud in a natural voice instead of read on screen, which is useful when someone is presenting, driving, or prefers listening.
Yes. The host is emailed minutes after the meeting, written in their language: a summary, key points, decisions and action items with owners. Past meetings are also listed in the host’s meeting history.
No. It is machine translation. For legal, medical or regulatory settings where a certified interpreter is required, use a qualified human interpreter. For everyday business conversation, it removes the delay and the cost of scheduling one.
Open a meeting, send the link, and see whether the conversation moves faster. Guests need nothing but a browser.
