Issues Hearing an Echo?
If you're signed into the meeting and Tarjimly from the same device, connect to the interpreter, patch in the meeting number and code according to the format described above. Once the interpreter joins the online meeting, hang up the call on the Tarjimly app. The interpreter will remain on the meeting call until they end the session on Tarjimly, or until you end the meeting.
If you're signed into the meeting on one device, and adding an interpreter from another device in the same location, we recommend following the above advice or:
1. mute the microphone on the Tarjimly app
2. mute/turn your volume down on the Tarjimly app
3. remove speaker phone, if on, from the Tarjimly app
