What Video Remote Interpreting Actually Is
Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) is a live interpreter who joins your video call as a participant. They see the room, hear both sides, and interpret in real time. In legal and safeguarding contexts it captures the body language and gestures that a phone-only interpreter would miss. In business it lets you keep meetings on the platform your team already uses without shipping people between offices.
They join through the same link you send to any other participant. You do not need a specialist VRI application, kiosk, or hardware.
Pricing
Video remote interpreting is quoted per session, priced by language, duration, and notice.
Final price confirmed before booking, based on language, location, date, duration and availability. Minimum booking applies, and travel outside the city is quoted separately. Fixed rate confirmed before the session. No connection fees, no travel charges, no per-participant surcharge. B2B accounts invoiced with round-number pricing.
How It Works
Four steps from booking to your interpreter on the call.
Tell Us the Basics
Language, context (healthcare, legal, business, education), date and time, expected duration, and the video platform you use. Two minutes on the form or a WhatsApp message is enough.
We Match and Confirm
We assign an interpreter for the language pair and context (medical, legal, business, education), subject to availability. You receive a fixed price and confirmation.
Share the Meeting Link
Forward the Zoom, Teams, Meet or WebEx link ahead of the session. No specialist app needed on your side.
Session Runs, You Get One Invoice
Consecutive interpreting during the call, no recording unless you specifically request it. Paid on confirmation, by card or bank transfer.
Where Video Remote Interpreting Fits Best
Healthcare (VRI)
GP consultations, outpatient appointments, mental health assessments, discharge planning, telemedicine reviews, and pre-op consent. Clinicians use VRI when a patient does not share English or Irish and a physical interpreter is not practical.
- GP video consultations
- Outpatient appointments
- CAMHS and adult mental health
- Discharge planning conferences
Legal & Tribunals
Remote court hearings and solicitor-client conferences conducted by video link.
- Remote court hearings
- Solicitor-client remote consultations
Business
Cross-border supplier calls, HR interviews and disciplinary hearings, customer support escalations, compliance briefings, and multi-office team meetings. Scales cleanly across time zones and multi-party Zoom or Teams calls.
- Supplier negotiations across languages
- HR interviews and disciplinary hearings
- Customer support escalation calls
- Multi-office team meetings

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I book a video interpreter?
Short-notice bookings are subject to availability. Scheduled sessions can be locked in days or weeks ahead.
What video platforms do you support?
Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, WebEx, GoToMeeting, Whereby, WhatsApp Video, FaceTime, and clinic-specific video systems. The interpreter joins whatever you already use. Nothing to install on your side.
Is video remote interpreting suitable for medical consultations?
Yes. Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) suits GP consultations, discharge planning, and outpatient appointments where the patient does not share a spoken language with the clinician.
Can a video interpreter attend a court or tribunal hearing?
Yes, subject to availability: remote hearings conducted by video link. Court and legal interpreting is quote only.
What is the difference between video remote interpreting and phone interpreting?
Video remote interpreting adds visual context: the interpreter sees body language, gestures, documents held up on camera, and the whole room. This matters in medical, legal, and safeguarding contexts where non-verbal cues carry meaning. Phone interpreting is faster to set up and works when only audio is required.
How is confidentiality handled on video sessions?
We can put an NDA in place on request. Sessions are not recorded unless you specifically request it. Documents shown on screen are not stored, screen-captured or logged by us.
Can multiple people join the video call?
Yes. The interpreter joins as a normal participant on your meeting link, so any multi-party call, group medical review, family conference, or multi-solicitor consultation works exactly as it would without an interpreter. There is no participant cap on our side.
