How to Translate a Microsoft Teams Meeting in Real Time
Teams meetings translate the same way whether you use the desktop app or the web version, because Caliptic listens to your computer's audio rather than to Teams.
Step 1 — Select your computer's audio
Open Caliptic and set the source to system audio. Everything Teams plays is then translated as it is heard — any speaker, a shared video, or a recording being played back in the meeting.
Step 2 — Choose the language pair
Pick what you expect to hear and what you want to read. Language packs download once and then work offline — which matters on a locked-down corporate network.
Step 3 — Answer in their language (optional)
In the Teams device settings, pick Caliptic's virtual microphone. Your reply is translated and spoken into the meeting, so a call across two languages runs at conversation speed.
Does IT need to approve anything in Teams?
Nothing is installed into Teams and no bot joins, so there is no Teams admin change to request. Caliptic is an ordinary desktop application and your organisation's usual software policy applies. Because the audio never leaves the machine, it also tends to sit far more comfortably with security policy than a cloud meeting assistant.
Will it work on a network with no internet access?
Yes, once the language packs are on the machine. After that Caliptic never needs to reach the internet to transcribe or translate. Only Teams itself needs whatever connection your meeting requires.
