Translate Microsoft Teams Meetings in Real Time

Translate Microsoft Teams meetings with the Gaavala Chrome extension. 69 languages, speaker diarization, direct-to-Soniox privacy. No Teams Premium or Copilot required.

Why Use Gaavala for Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams is the default communication platform for over 320 million monthly active users. Teams includes Live Captions for transcription, but real-time translation requires a Teams Premium license at $10/user/month and must be enabled by your IT admin.

Gaavala bypasses these restrictions entirely. Join your Teams meeting through Chrome at teams.microsoft.com, and Gaavala captures the meeting audio via Chrome's tab sharing API. No tenant-level changes, no app permissions, no admin approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need Teams Premium for Gaavala to work?

No. Gaavala is completely independent of your Teams license. It works with any Teams plan — Free, Basic, Standard, or Premium.

Does my IT admin need to approve anything?

No. Gaavala runs in your own browser. It does not require Teams app permissions, tenant-level settings, or admin approval.

Can I use the Teams desktop app?

Gaavala requires the browser version of Teams (teams.microsoft.com). The desktop app does not expose tab audio to the browser.

Does Gaavala work with Teams channels and group chats?

Gaavala works with any Teams meeting or call that runs in your browser — scheduled meetings, ad-hoc calls, channel meetings, and webinars.
