Webinars & live streams
Pikka Speech turns a live webinar or stream into a multilingual event. A meeting bot captures Zoom, Teams, or Meet. Hosts can put captions, a QR code, and a ticker on the picture. Attendees listen and read in their language in a browser — not inside the webinar call.
Definition
Live webinar translation is simultaneous interpretation for an online talk: the speaker talks in one language, and remote attendees receive another language as they listen. Pikka Speech does this with interpreted audio and captions in a browser, plus optional captions and a join QR on the stream picture itself.

Use cases
Product launches, training, and investor talks run on Zoom, Teams, or Meet. Pikka Speech captures the floor, then each attendee opens a phone or laptop browser, picks a language, and follows in real time.
When the picture is the event — a YouTube or social live, a stage camera, or a shared screen — hosts can put captions, a join QR, and a short ticker on that picture. Watchers who scan the QR get their own language in a browser.
The same room can feed a venue PA and a webinar at once. In-room guests scan a QR. Remote guests use the same room code. Language channels stay shared.
How it works
Start a meeting bot on the Zoom, Teams, or Meet link, or share system audio from the streaming app. The source language enters one Pikka room.
On Stage, turn on captions, a QR that opens the listener page, or a ticker. QR and ticker fan out to every watcher. Speaker Stage captions stay on the speaker window.
Guests scan the QR or enter the room code, pick a language, and hear interpreted audio with live captions. No app and no receiver rental.
The meeting bot captures the source language only. It does not play interpretation back into Zoom, Teams, or Meet. Attendees listen in a Pikka browser page so the webinar mix stays clean.
Comparison
Caption add-ons translate text. A booth translates speech for one room. Pikka Speech does both, and keeps the webinar call itself unchanged.

Questions
Yes. A meeting bot joins the Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet session and captures the floor into your Pikka room. Attendees then listen to interpreted audio and captions in a browser.
Yes. Hosts and speakers can turn on Stage captions on the live camera or screen share. A transparent desktop overlay is also available when captions must float over a third-party stream.
No. They scan a QR code or enter a room code in any phone or laptop browser, choose a language, and listen.
No. The meeting bot captures the source language only. Interpreted audio and captions play in the Pikka browser page so the webinar mix stays clean.
Yes. Stage can show a QR on the live picture. Room owners can upload a PNG, JPEG, or WebP image or paste a URL. The QR and ticker reach every watcher of that picture.
Start a free test room, join a Zoom or Teams link with the meeting bot, and confirm captions and a join QR on the picture before the live show.
