Details:

We’re raising the bar on clarity and control with Interpreter. Admins can fully disable voice simulation via PowerShell when needed. Each speaker is automatically assigned a distinct voice, making multi-speaker conversations easier to follow. We’re reducing distractions by showing shimmer effects only to Interpreter users. We’ve added audio notifications to confirm activation, and we’ve introduced in-product feedback mechanisms so users can easily share their input.

2026-06-16RM DescriptionWe’re introducing 3 enhancements to AI Interpreter’s Simultaneous mode. First, the interpreter audio and live captions now match exactly, with both using the same language the user selects. Second, admins can fully disable voice simulation if needed. Third, users will have more platform voice options, with dynamic voice assignments that help distinguish each speaker and make conversations easier to follow.We’re raising the bar on clarity and control with Interpreter.
