Mute your microphone or skip a passage

Press the microphone button to mute yourself for a moment; your listeners stay with you and see that the translator is muted. For a passage you will not interpret, press Not interpreting this part — they are told to listen to the speaker.

The booth with the interpreter’s microphone off.

Both keep the language yours. Nobody is moved to the AI, and you are back on air with one press.

  • Microphone button — for a cough or a question. Your status reads Your microphone is off, and listeners see "translator muted". Press it again to speak.
  • Not interpreting this part — for a song the room knows, a reading everyone holds, a greeting. Listeners see "This part is not being interpreted. Listen to the speaker." Your microphone stays off until you press Interpreting again.

Good to know: Both affect only your language. Listeners can still switch to the AI themselves, and the AI keeps translating the same passage.

I reloaded the page while muted. Am I back on air?
No. The mute belongs to your turn on the language, so you come back muted and choose when to speak.
