Real-time professional interpretation via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and dedicated VRI platforms. Available on demand across 50+ languages with no travel delays.
Video remote interpreting (VRI) connects a professional interpreter to your meeting, hearing, or consultation via a secure video link in real time. Unlike telephone interpreting, VRI preserves the visual cues that make communication clearer: facial expressions, documents held up for reference, and the body language that signals understanding or confusion. For legal depositions, medical consultations, immigration video hearings, and international business meetings, VRI offers the accuracy of in-person interpretation at a fraction of the cost and with significantly faster scheduling.
BeTranslated delivers VRI across the major platforms already in use by our clients: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Google Meet, and dedicated court and healthcare VRI platforms. Our interpreters are trained in the specific demands of remote delivery, including how to manage turn-taking, alert parties to technical issues, and maintain confidentiality in remote settings. Sessions can be booked at short notice or scheduled in advance.
Seamless integration with Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Google Meet, and dedicated healthcare or court VRI platforms. No proprietary software required on the client side.
For common language pairs, VRI sessions can often be arranged within hours rather than days. Contact us with your language pair and preferred time for a fast availability check.
VRI availability extends beyond standard business hours for urgent legal, medical, or business situations. 24-hour coverage available for critical language pairs on request.
All VRI interpreters hold subject-matter expertise in their sector. Legal interpreters know court and deposition terminology. Medical interpreters understand clinical and pharmaceutical vocabulary.
We advise on minimum bandwidth and hardware standards to ensure interpreter and client can read each other clearly. Poor video quality undermines accuracy in high-stakes settings.
First-time VRI clients receive a setup guide and can request a brief pre-session check to confirm audio, video, and platform performance before the main event begins.
Remote depositions, immigration tribunal video hearings, and court proceedings where in-person attendance is impractical or where the court permits video appearance. Pair with legal translation of motions and evidence.
Patient consultations with non-English-speaking patients via telehealth platforms, often supported by medical translation of records and discharge letters. VRI is preferred over telephone for medical settings because the visual channel aids comprehension.
Many immigration authorities now conduct hearings via video. VRI allows interpreters to join these proceedings remotely without the need for interpreter travel.
Board meetings, investor presentations, and contract negotiations conducted on Teams, Zoom, or Webex where one or more participants need interpretation in real time.

“Reliable, trustworthy and customer-centric This is the summation of Michael, Suzy and their team of translators. I have worked with them for over a year, and they have been my translation service for advertising in many European languages - from Swedish to German to Russian, and not always from English! Consider them a rare find.”

Yes. VRI has been widely accepted in immigration court and tribunal settings in both the UK and the United States since the expansion of remote hearings. Check the specific court or tribunal for any current standing requirements on platform or format.
For consecutive interpreting tasks, VRI by an experienced remote-trained interpreter delivers equivalent accuracy to in-person. Simultaneous interpreting via remote is more technically demanding and should use a dedicated RSI platform rather than a standard video call.
Yes. Our interpreters operate under a standard professional confidentiality obligation and can sign client-specific NDAs or confidentiality agreements before sessions where this is required.
