New Teams and Akouo​​

    • On the Akouo Interpretation tab where you select your required languages, check the Akouo Universal Access box.

    • Copy the link by clicking on the button.

    • Go to the meeting Details tab.

    • Click inside the top of the text box and paste the copied text, you can amend the introductory text for users if required.

    • You can now Send / Update your meeting invitation. Participants can now select Akouo Universal Access to join the Teams meeting.

    • During the meeting, you can simply share the Akouo Universal Access link in the meeting chat with participants that require interpretation access. Participants should leave MS Teams and only join through Akouo Universal Access, where thay can access full interpretation features seamlessly.
