Who would you
like to talk to?

The news that feels
better in a voice.

Catch up with an adult family member living abroad. Talk about an ordinary day, make plans or share something that is easier to say than to type.

Use Direct audio when you share a language, or Translated audio when each person would rather speak their own. A guest can join by browser link without an account.

Leave a little space for translated replies. Repeat names, dates or arrangements when something needs to be clear.

Keep a conversation going.

A call can make room for a catch-up; chat can continue the thread. Save a contact and preferred language when you want to find someone again.

Direct and translated chat works one to one and in groups. Saving a contact is a choice, not an automatic phone-book import.

A question in a new place.

Talk with someone before a visit, or use Interpreter when you’re face to face and have one device between you.

Check the required language pair first. Confirm directions, dates and numbers rather than assuming every detail was translated correctly.

Talk through the next step.

Discuss a question, an item or a plan with a customer or supplier. For a translated call, choose each person’s language from the options available for that call.

Confirm quantities, numbers and names. If a file is useful, Direct Files needs both people online, receiver acceptance and a network that permits transfer.

Show what you’re describing.

Use video to discuss a space or something visible rather than relying only on a spoken description. Video and group video offer Direct and Translated modes.

Choose the mode’s relevant pricing. Confirm important measurements or terms separately; a video conversation is not a professional property assessment.

Get everyone onto the same page.

Use a meeting to discuss the work, share a screen and manage admission. Translated audio groups use one active speaker at a time, with request-to-speak turn taking.

Teams workspace and member management are free. Paid communication still consumes credit, and admins do not automatically get access to private conversation content.
