Zoom (For Partners) - Common Issues

Troubleshoot common Zoom meeting issues: audio problems, missed interpreter joins, and connection errors for Boostlingo partners.

Written by Quinn Bott

The interpreter can't hear me

Check your audio settings in Zoom. Open the main Zoom window, select the settings cog, then select "Audio." Confirm your Speaker and Microphone settings and test both to make sure they're working.

I can't hear the interpreter

Double-check your audio settings in Zoom, and confirm your system can play other sounds. If you believe there are issues with the interpreter's audio:

  • Using internal interpreters? Have the interpreter check their audio settings in Zoom. The browser permissions are separate for a Zoom call and an on-platform Boostlingo call.

  • Using the Boostlingo Professional Interpreter Network? Complete the Interpreter Quality Assurance Incident Report form.

The interpreter hasn't joined the meeting

It can take up to 2 minutes for an interpreter to join. If they still haven't joined after 2 minutes, check the following:

I received the email "Zoom Issue Connecting: Something went wrong..."

  • Confirm the invitation was sent correctly. See How to add an audio interpreter to a Zoom virtual meeting for a walkthrough of the correct settings.

  • This error usually means the requestor doesn't have the correct language or service type permissions to route to an interpreter. As an LSC administrator, open the requestor's account from Members>Accounts and check those policies in its Features section to confirm the account supports the requested language pair and service type.

Next steps / Getting more help

If the issue persists, contact Boostlingo Support and include the original invitation email to speed up resolution.
