How do I add an External Interpeter to a Teams meeting?

If you are using an external translator follow the workflow below:

Before the meeting:

• Create your Teams meeting and invite your attendees including your translator. See How do I create a Teams meeting? for further information.
• Open the Teams meeting and select Meeting Options:

• A browser window will open.
• Scroll down to Enable language interpretation and toggle to Yes
• Allocate a member of AU staff to be the interpreter. You will have to change the interpreter to the non-AU account at the start of the meeting.

• From the Source Language choose Welsh from the drop-down menu. For the Target Language choose English.
• Press Save
• At the beginning of the Teams meeting, remind attendees that an interpreter is on the call and they are welcome to speak in Welsh. Direct attendees that require interpretation to the interpreter channel (instructions below).

At the start of the meeting:

Once the external interpreter has joined the meeting:

• Click on the People pane
• Click on the ... to the right of the interpreter’s name
• Select Make Interpreter
• Change the AU Interpreter back
• Click on the ... to the right of the AU staff member that you allocated as interpreter and select Make Attendee
