Boostlingo Events User Guide - MS Teams

This is a guide for using the Boostlingo Events platform together with MS Teams. In case you are already using the application and need guidance to mute Teams, you can go to this section.

Step #1: Join MS Teams

Please access the MS Teams link that you have received from the organizers.

Step #2: Join the Boostlingo Events Listener Widget

Open the link to Boostlingo Events that will be shared with you in the chat or by email - depending on the login options you might have to insert your name before you can join the meeting. Then select your preferred language for listening to the interpreted audio.

Step #3: Enable the Boostlingo Events Widget Audio and Select the Language

Depending on your device, you may see the “Enable audio” button – Please press it.

Step #4: Mute the MS Teams Original Meeting Audio 

In case you are joining MS Teams and the Boostlingo Events session on the same device, please mute the MS Teams platform to avoid double audio or echo. This can be done as follows:

• Joining MS Teams via the app on a computer (installed verison)

You can do so by opening the Settings in the MS Teams app ("More", three dots icon on top-right), clicking “Audio settings” and then clicking the loudspeaker icon to mute the Teams audio.

• Joining MS Teams via the browser - Right-click on the browser tab and select “Mute Site” or “Mute Tab”

In case you are using MS Teams Live instead of a regular Teams meeting, the volume bar will be on the bottom-left of the screen of the Teams interface - You can either fully mute it or put the volume down:
