CollaborateVideo brings Wordly’s AI-powered simultaneous interpretation to your next event.

Communication should never stop because of a language barrier. That’s why CollaborateVideo is excited to launch support for Wordly — a fully integrated AI translation and caption platform now available in our MAXPlayer for all your virtual and hybrid event needs.

With Wordly, we’re giving organizations the power to make their meetings, conferences, and events multilingual without the same cost and complexity constraints. Event organizers have a new tool in their toolkit for multilingual accessibility and scalable communication. It’s powerful, only going to improve, and very useful for streamlining operations!

So… What is AI Simultaneous Interpretation?

AI simultaneous interpretation is precisely what it sounds like: live, real-time language translation powered by artificial intelligence. Instead of relying on teams of human interpreters in booths, AI listens to a speaker, translates what they’re saying, and delivers it instantly in another language, spoken or as captions.

Here’s how it works under the hood:

1. Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR): First, the system listens to the speaker and converts their voice into text. This step necessitates accuracy and minimal delay, contending with things like speaker accent, speaking speed, or even background noise.
2. Neural Machine Translation (NMT): Next, the text is analyzed and translated into the target language using AI models trained to understand grammar, context, and sentence structure.
3. Text-to-Speech (TTS): Finally, the translated text is converted into spoken language using natural-sounding synthetic voices or delivered as real-time captions (i.e. CART).

This process, from recognition to translation to delivery, happens in milliseconds, ensuring participants can follow the speaker in near-perfect sync. Wordly supports more than 30 languages and over 2,000 language pairs, with no special equipment needed!

How Does AI Compare to Traditional Interpretation?

Let’s be clear: human interpreters are highly skilled professionals essential to event settings (think diplomatic events, large-scale events with a global audience, etc.). With that acknowledgement, for lots of virtual and hybrid events, AI interpretation offers lots of advantages:

The trade-off? AI excels in reach, speed, and affordability. We still recommend having people in the loop, especially for high-stakes or more technical settings with specific jargon BUT you will be hosting more multilingual and accessible events, which we think should be the norm. 

Wordly is already being adopted by departments within the federal government and other high-accountability environments, strongly endorsing its reliability, scalability, and day-to-day effectiveness. This kind of institutional trust signals more than an emerging tech trend, it’s a practical and proven solution.

How to Make the Most of AI Interpretation at Your Events

Adding AI interpretation to your event strategy is easier than you might think, especially with CollaborateVideo! Here are five actionable steps to get started:

1. Know Your Audience: Understand your attendees and the languages they’re most comfortable with. Wordly supports more than 30 spoken and written languages with the ability to add a glossary of names and terms in advance for the AI to hone in on and know to account for.
2. Build Interpretation into Your Event: If you’re streaming a keynote or a panel discussion, plan for your translation needs. Do you want audio channels, captions, or both?
3. Prep Your Speakers: Encourage speakers to speak clearly and at a reasonable pace. While Wordly can handle fast talkers and accents, clarity will always help improve accuracy — for human and AI listeners alike.
4. Provide Language Access Options: Let your audience know how to access translations. CollaborateVideo’s event platforms integrate directly with Wordly, so users can select their language with a click — no extra software needed.
5. Test & Monitor: As always, test the tech ahead of time. Our team can help you during any event rehearsals or run-throughs and provide live support during your event.

Where AI Interpretation Delivers Results

CollaborateVideo supports a wide range of events where multilingual access is no longer a nice-to-have — it’s essential. For organizations with multilingual workforces, internal communications must be clear and inclusive. Your town hall and annual general meetings can be interpreted in real-time, ensuring every employee, stakeholder, or shareholder understands key messages.

AI interpretation helps you instantly reach a broader audience, particularly in government or public sector settings where transparency and language access are mandated. It also allows conference organizers to offer simultaneous interpretation in dozens of languages without all the booths and headsets. Whether it’s a keynote or a breakout session, every attendee can participate!

Imagine you’re onboarding new employees or hosting an online training workshop. These events aren’t just about content, they’re about connection and comprehension. With AI interpretation, trainers can present in one language while participants listen in another. This makes sessions more effective and reduces the need for duplicate trainings. Deliver more live or on-demand sessions, expand access, and improve engagement, all while saving time!

Let’s Make Multilingual Events the Norm

The world speaks more than one language and your events should too. With CollaborateVideo’s integration of Wordly’s AI translation and captioning abilities, you now have a powerful tool to expand your reach, increase accessibility, and at an affordable cost. Whether you’re hosting a town hall, running a virtual conference with keynote speakers, or a series of training programs, AI-powered translation means webcasting for all!

Ready to experience it in action? We’d love to show you how it works! Contact us today to book a live demo and bring the power of real-time multilingual and captioned communication to your next event.

So, you’re thinking about buying Canadian. Who isn’t these days? Whether it’s purposefully buying more Canadian products at the grocery store or companies re-considering American service providers and suppliers, the sentiment is strong. 

For many, being Canadian (and buying Canadian by extension) isn’t just about where a person or company is based. That’s certainly a major part of it but it’s also about values. It’s about recognizing and reflecting the diversity in people that make up Canada. It’s about making sure everyone has a seat at the table, or in our case, a link to the webcast.

CollaborateVideo is a proudly Canadian webcasting company. Our player is designed to support multiple languages and prioritizes accessibility features, supporting multiple virtual event types. So if you’re looking for a Canadian and inclusive alternative for your virtual events, here’s why CollaborateVideo is the perfect fit for everyone.

Buying Canadian — More Than Just a Hashtag

The Buy Canadian movement is pretty simple to understand. It’s about people consciously choosing Canadian products and services. Yes, it’s about defiance but it’s also about bolstering a sense of pride for supporting Canadian jobs and products, making sure that the businesses we invest in reflect our values.

And let’s be real, when we compare business landscapes, we see some stark differences. Companies that once championed inclusive hiring and accessibility features are suddenly silent on those topics. Here in Canada? We’re doubling down in the other direction. CollaborateVideo isn’t just a Canadian webcasting company…

1. We support multilingual virtual events to ensure no one is left out of important conversations.
2. We’ve built a webcasting platform with robust accessibility features (like captioning, sign language options, and simultaneous interpretation) and are always looking to add more.
3. We actively invest in mentorship and internship opportunities to create career pathways for young professionals and international students.

Let’s break it down.

Multilingual Capabilities

Ever hosted a company town hall or conference with a virtual component and realized that some of your audience would have preferred to follow along in French or Spanish? Yeah, well we’ve got you covered!

Our webcasting platform supports multiple interface languages and we’re not stopping there. Our AI-powered video services make it easier to create localized content for your audiences. Want your webcast player in Hindi? Maybe Mandarin? We can do that. We’re always expanding our language capabilities and we love getting input on what’s next.

Accessibility Features

At CollaborateVideo, our literal slogan is Webcasting for All. And we mean it! Accessibility is a fundamental part of how we design our platform and services. Our platform enables organizations to provide their webcast participants with:

• A user-friendly interface designed with accessibility in mind
• Accessible formats, communication, and reporting supports
• Intuitive navigation and compatibility with assistive technologies
• Closed captions to ensure an inclusive experience
• Multiple sign language options as well as simultaneous interpretation
• Dynamic and accessible live chat features so everyone can actively participate

The best part? Accessibility isn’t a one-and-done feature checkbox, we’re always improving and looking to add more features. Have a feature request? Let’s talk. We’re all about listening, learning, and implementing.

Fostering Inclusion

Building a webcasting platform is one thing. Running an inclusive company is another. At CollaborateVideo:

• We remove barriers, helping organizations include everyone in their virtual events.
• We create mentorship opportunities that pair seasoned experts with industry newcomers.
• Our internship program also fosters career paths for international students like Beatris, a video editor and support specialist who’s been able to contribute and gain valuable experience.

So, why choose a Canadian webcasting platform? Because having a Canadian option that embodies Canadian values shouldn’t be an afterthought. Because accessibility isn’t a “nice-to-have.” And because choosing CollaborateVideo means choosing a company that actively works to make virtual events more inclusive for everyone.

We think that embracing diversity, accessibility, and innovation makes for better events, better business, and a better Canada. If you’re looking for a Canadian webcasting provider that will make your virtual events more inclusive, accessible, and impactful, let’s talk!

Communicating effectively across language barriers is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Public, private, and non-profit organizations must reach diverse audiences with messages that resonate, inform, and engage. But producing video content can be complex, often constrained by time, budget, and resources…

Enter CollaborateVideo’s new AI Video, a groundbreaking solution leveraging AI-powered avatars and video translation technology! This innovative service empowers organizations to create personalized, multilingual video content quickly and cost-effectively, transforming how they communicate with their audiences. 

Streamlining Communication in the Public Sector

Government agencies and public sector organizations often need to effectively communicate with different populations, especially in times of urgency. The complexity of producing multilingual content under tight budgets and time constraints can hinder these efforts. CollaborateVideo‘s solution enables the rapid creation of multilingual video content using AI-driven avatars.

This technology ensures that critical information can be disseminated in multiple languages, reaching all relevant segments swiftly and consistently. By reducing the cost and time associated with traditional video production and translation, public sector organizations can maximize their outreach while staying within budget.

When combined with CollaborateVideo’s other services, public sector organizations can deliver live multilingual broadcasts of crucial information. Streaming and archiving these broadcasts with multilingual options also increases transparency and accessibility.

Scaling Private Sector Business 

Language can be a significant hurdle for companies looking to expand their reach. Ensuring consistent messaging across various languages and markets while managing the high costs of localized video production adds layers to marketing efforts. With CollaborateVideo, businesses can now produce personalized video content in multiple languages at scale!

We enable companies to maintain consistent brand messaging across different regions, making it easier to connect with global audiences. By streamlining the localization process, businesses can reduce the time and cost of bringing their products and services to new markets.

CollaborateVideo’s solutions allow companies to conduct live product launches, webinars, and training sessions in multiple languages. This combination of services ensures people can participate in events as they happen, with localized content that resonates, enhancing engagement and brand impact.

Enhancing Outreach for Non-Profits

Non-profit organizations can face challenges creating multilingual content that resonates with donors, volunteers, and beneficiaries — mainly because it’s time-consuming and resource-intensive. CollaborateVideo empowers non-profits to produce multilingual video content that resonates!

Whether you’re campaign fundraising, creating awareness initiatives, or doing volunteer training, maximize outreach efforts while keeping costs low. This allows organizations to focus more resources on their core mission while reaching a broader audience.

By integrating this service with CollaborateVideo’s webcasting and other solutions, non-profits can extend the reach of their campaigns through live-streamed events and virtual fundraisers in multiple languages. This pairing allows non-profits to engage with audiences in real-time, creating a more inclusive and impactful outreach effort.

Besides, AV companies differentiate themselves by providing innovative and tech-forward solutions in a competitive modern market.

By incorporating AI-powered technology, AV partners can offer comprehensive multilingual video solutions that meet the evolving needs of their clients.

Does integrating webcasting into your strategy seem like a daunting task? Fear not! CollaborateVideo is here to guide you every step of the way.

It’s well established now that hybrid events, which combine in-person and virtual elements, offer many advantages such as:

1. Increased Reach: Hybrid events allow you to connect with a larger audience without travel expenses and with extreme convenience.

Now, let’s turn these advantages into actionable steps for your meetings, conferences, and training sessions. With our help, you’ll be a webcasting pro in no time!

Tips for Incorporating Webcasting

1. Plan Ahead: Determine the objectives of your event and decide which sessions will be webcasted. Early planning helps in avoiding last-minute hiccups.
2. Choose the Right Platform: A reliable webcasting platform is crucial. CollaborateVideo offers user-friendly and robust solutions tailored to your organization’s and event’s needs.
3. Test, Test, Test: Conduct dry runs to iron out technical issues before the event. That said, our team is always there to help resolve any technical problems that may arise.
4. Engage Your Audience: Incorporate interactive features like Q&A sessions, polls, and chat functions to keep your audience involved.
5. Accessibility Matters: Make your hybrid events accessible with features like closed captions, multiple language options, and simultaneous interpretation so everyone can participate.

Technology & Logistics

Technology and logistics are the backbone of any successful webcast. Here are some considerations:

• Network Connection: A stable and high-speed internet connection is non-negotiable. Test it multiple times before the event.
• Equipment: Invest in quality cameras, microphones, and lighting for the best viewing experience. We have audio-visual partners if you need any help on this front! 
• Backup Plans: Have contingency plans in place for technical difficulties. This might include backup equipment and a technical support team on standby.
• Seamless Integration: Ensure that all components are well-integrated. If there’s a keynote speaker, make sure they can interact with in-person and virtual attendees.
• Time Management: Stick to a schedule that accommodates both live and virtual audiences. Be mindful of different time zones if this applies.

Attendee Management & Engagement

Keeping both in-person and remote attendees engaged can be challenging. So here are some strategies to help:

• Interactive Features: Use Q&A sessions, polls, and chat functions to create an interactive experience. Engaging your audience is key to a successful event.
• Breakout Sessions: Offer virtual breakout sessions where attendees can discuss topics further in smaller groups. These sessions can be used for dedicated things like networking as well.
• Gamification: Incorporate games and challenges to keep things fun and lively. Who says corporate events can’t have a bit of friendly competition?
• Track Engagement: Use analytics to monitor audience engagement. This can provide insights and help you understand what works and what doesn’t.
• Measure Success: Evaluate the success of your event by analyzing metrics such as attendance rates, participation in polls and Q&A sessions, and feedback.
• Tailor Future Events: Use insights gathered from data analytics to tailor future events to your audience’s preferences and needs.

Integrating webcasting into your strategy is not just a trend—it’s a necessity in today’s dynamic world. With these tips and a bit of creativity, you’ll be well on your way to hosting successful hybrid events. When it comes to webcasting solutions, CollaborateVideo has your back.

From virtual meetings and webinars to conferences and training sessions, webcasting offers a convenient and efficient way to reach people. Accessing content and attending events online can also pose challenges though. Bridge the digital divide by limiting and addressing things like language barriers with inclusive webcasting practices.

Understanding Accessibility Challenges

When it comes to webcasting, accessibility is about more than just compliance with requirements. It’s about ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability or circumstance, can fully engage with the content and participate in the event. Whether it’s impediments to accessing and navigating online content or interfaces, these challenges create barriers to participation that we want to remove.

Importance of Inclusive Practices

Inclusive webcasting practices are essential for creating a welcoming and accessible virtual environment for all participants. By incorporating inclusive features and design principles into webcasts, organizations can ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to access and engage with the content. Moreover, inclusive practices can help organizations reach a broader audience, foster diversity and inclusion, and enhance overall audience engagement and satisfaction.

Benefits of Inclusive Webcasting

The benefits of inclusive webcasting practices are manifold. By removing barriers, organizations can expand their audience reach. Inclusive webcasting can also help organizations foster diversity and inclusion by creating a more welcoming and accessible environment for people. Moreover, inclusive practices can enhance audience engagement and satisfaction, leading to better outcomes for participants and organizers alike.

Tools & Features for Inclusivity

CollaborateVideo’s platform offers a wide range of tools and features to support inclusivity in webcasting. From closed captioning and simultaneous interpretation capabilities to sign language options and multi-language support, our platform is designed to ensure that everyone can access and engage. Whether you’re hosting a virtual meeting, webinar, conference, or training session, we have the accessibility tools you need to create an inclusive experience for everyone.

Be Your Success Stories

Real-life examples and success stories demonstrate the tangible benefits of inclusive webcasting practices. Organizations that have embraced inclusive webcasting have seen significant improvements in audience engagement, satisfaction, and overall event outcomes. From increased attendance and participation to positive feedback and testimonials, the impact of inclusive webcasting is clear. Prioritize inclusivity and create more accessible and equitable experiences.

Tips for Creating Inclusive Content

Creating inclusive webcasts requires careful planning and consideration. Here are some practical tips for creating and delivering inclusive content:

1. Design accessible slides and visuals: Use high-contrast colours and clear fonts to ensure readability for all participants.
2. Use plain language: Avoid jargon and overly complex language that may be difficult for some participants to understand.
3. Provide alternative formats: To accommodate different learning styles and preferences, offer alternative formats for content, such as transcripts or audio descriptions.
4. Engage with your audience: Reach out and encourage feedback to ensure your content is accessible and relevant to all participants.

Future Trends & Opportunities

As technology continues to evolve, so do opportunities for inclusivity. Advancements in accessibility technology, such as speech recognition and natural language processing, promise further to improve the accessibility of online content and events. The growing demand for inclusive virtual events presents new opportunities for innovation and collaboration. By embracing emerging trends and leveraging new technologies, organizations can continue to push the boundaries of inclusive webcasting.

By breaking down these barriers, organizations can reach new audiences, foster inclusion, and enhance overall audience engagement and satisfaction. CollaborateVideo is committed to helping organizations embrace inclusive webcasting practices and providing the ideal accessible webcasting platform.

The Future of Livestreaming is Conversational

Few things are more frustrating than a one-sided conversation. Listening to someone drone on about themselves without pause to ask anything of their conversation counterpart is exhausting, frustrating, and leads to disconnection.

The same is true online, but few platforms create meaningful opportunities for two-way engagement. Largely, the only way for streamers to connect with their audience on an individual level is to acknowledge a comment or answer a question, but beyond that, there is little appreciation for the viewer.

Tyler “Ninja” Blevins, Twitch’s most-followed streamer, emphasizes the value of making individual connections in his “Become a Streamer” course on MasterClass. According to Ninja, individual engagement is as simple as remembering comments from top followers from stream to stream and asking them follow-up questions the next time you see them in the chat.

But at scale, or with hundreds of comments pouring in at once during popular live streams, this isn’t realistic for all creators.

Creators are increasingly leaning on new tools to make streaming feel personal for each user. For example, chat-powered polls, interactive maps, and question aggregators turn cascading comment sections into engaging visuals that acknowledge users’ inputs as more than just fleeting statements.

In the coming months, data will become instrumental to streamers’ decision-making and community expansion. Streamers looking for a strategic approach to measured growth should turn to data that helps them understand and engage their audience. Using new tools to track most engaged users and stream performance over time helps creators to know what’s resonating in their communities.

The advantage is two-fold. Viewers feel more engaged and enriched and streamers reap the benefits of higher engagement, enabling them to continue to produce quality content. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Turning Conversation into Community

In the long term, streamers across platforms are striving to cement communities of like-minded hobbyists, encourage dialogue and foster connection. But to do so requires intentionality and a dedicated strategy to sustaining conversation—not only from the creator to their audience but also between audience members.

One way streamers can develop enduring conversations is to adopt a multi-platform approach, utilizing different platforms to cater to various aspects of their community. For instance, they might use Twitch for live streams, YouTube for edited highlights, and Discord for ongoing conversations and community-building activities.

This strategy not only broadens the creator’s reach but also provides alternative ways for the audience to engage with the content and each other, fostering a more robust and interconnected community. Creators should prioritize tools that integrate easily across all of their channels, keeping the experience consistent no matter the platform.

Creators can also leverage the power of storytelling by incorporating interactive elements into their streams. By allowing viewers to influence the direction of the content through making choices or giving suggestions in real-time in the chat to open-ended prompts, creators can craft an immersive experience that resonates more deeply with their audience because they have bought into the narrative. This collaborative storytelling approach not only keeps viewers engaged but also makes them feel appreciated as co-creators of the content. It simply requires implementing existing technology that visualizes live chat responses as users engage.

Creating Connection

Building a loyal following takes time—just ask Taylor Swift, who’s been at it for nearly two decades. But by bringing the right combination of technology and structure to livestreaming, creators can cultivate relationships that feel as authentic as friends sitting over a dinner table or New Yorker’s singing Celine Dion. In a new world, where digital connections are poised to become a central part of our lives, creators eager to grow with their audiences should prioritize creating individual relationships, making space on their platforms for two-way dialogue.

Offering inventive webcasting solutions to meet the communications needs of our clients is what we do at CollaborateVideo.

Personalized Content Delivery

Tailor your content delivery to cater to the specific interests and preferences of your audience segments.
