The short answer
How do you turn on voice translation in Zoom?
Zoom's built-in translated captions require an eligible Workplace plan or the Translated Captions add-on. Voice Translator is intended for some eligible organizations and also depends on account settings.
With Loquora, install the app, choose both languages and select the Loquora microphone in Zoom. It works with a personal account without host setup. You can read what others say as translated subtitles or hear it aloud.
Direct comparison
Choose between captions, Zoom's voice feature, and an independent translator.
The right option depends on whether you need readable captions, translated audio, organization-level Zoom access, or one tool for several calling apps.

Questions and answers
Zoom translation FAQ
How do I enable voice translation with a personal Zoom account?
Install Loquora, choose both languages, and select the Loquora virtual microphone in Zoom Audio settings. Once translation starts, other participants hear the translated phrases even if your Zoom account does not include a built-in voice translation feature.
Are Zoom translated captions available on every account?
No. Zoom says translated captions require an eligible Workplace account or the Translated Captions add-on, and account or host settings affect availability.
Is Zoom Voice Translator generally available?
No. Zoom currently documents Voice Translator for eligible customers with limited access and usage allowances.
Does everyone need to install Loquora?
No. You select the Loquora virtual microphone; other participants hear its translated output inside their normal Zoom meeting.
How much delay does Loquora add?
Translation usually starts in under one second. A slow connection, a busy computer, background noise or a difficult phrase can sometimes make it take longer.
Can I try it with a personal Zoom account?
Yes. Loquora works separately from Zoom's paid translation features, and its free personal plan includes about 30 minutes each month.
