Translate Zoom Meetings in Real Time

Translate Zoom meetings in real time with the Gaavala Chrome extension. 69 languages, speaker diarization, privacy-first direct-to-Soniox streaming. 5 free minutes, no card, never resets.

Why Use Gaavala for Zoom?

Zoom is the most widely used video conferencing platform, with over 300 million daily meeting participants. While Zoom offers automated captions and AI Companion features, real-time translation into another language remains limited to expensive enterprise add-ons.

Gaavala is a Chrome extension that captures audio from the active Zoom meeting tab via Chrome's tabCapture API. Install it from the Chrome Web Store, open your Zoom meeting at zoom.us, click the Gaavala icon, share the meeting tab's audio, and live captions begin streaming in any of 69 languages. The audio stream flows directly from your browser to Soniox over an encrypted WebSocket — Gaavala's backend is not in the audio path.

The Problem with Zoom's Built-in Translation

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Gaavala work with the Zoom desktop app?

Gaavala works with Zoom running in Chrome (zoom.us web client). For the desktop app, join your meeting via the browser instead — Zoom supports this natively.

Is there a delay in translation?

Gaavala streams audio to Soniox in real time over an encrypted WebSocket. Captions typically appear under one second after speech.

Can other participants see the translation?

No. Gaavala runs in your own browser tab. Only you see the translated text. Other participants are unaffected.

Does Gaavala record my Zoom meeting?

No. Gaavala does not record or store audio. The audio stream flows directly from your browser to Soniox and is not retained after transcription.
