Liora for Microsoft Teams

Real-time AI-powered translation for your Teams meetings. Live voice translation and real-time subtitles, right inside Microsoft Teams.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to start translating your Microsoft Teams meetings in real time.

1

Install in your Meeting

Join or create a Microsoft Teams meeting. In the top meeting toolbar, click the "+" (Add an app) button. Search for "Liora Translation" in the app catalog and click "Save". You only need to do this once per meeting — it stays available for all participants.

2

Open the Liora Panel

During the meeting, click the Liora icon in the right-side toolbar. A panel will open on the right side of your screen. Sign-in is automatic — Liora uses your Microsoft account (SSO). No extra accounts needed.

3

Choose Language & Voice

In the panel, open the language dropdown and select the language you want the meeting translated into. Then select your preferred translation voice: Male or Female. This preference is saved automatically for future meetings.

4

Start Translating

Click "Start Translation" and wait for the status badge to show "Connected". The translated audio and subtitles will start appearing immediately. Teams audio is automatically muted so you don't hear the original and translation at the same time.

Supported Languages

SpanishEnglishFrenchGermanPortugueseItalianChinese

How It Works

When you connect, Liora processes meeting audio in real time through an AI pipeline that delivers translated voice and subtitles in milliseconds.

1

Participant speaks in their language — audio is captured directly from the Teams meeting.

2

Liora AI processes the speech: transcription, language detection, translation and voice synthesis.

3

Translated voice plays in your chosen language — two independent volume sliders let you control translation volume and original audio volume separately.

4

Real-time subtitles appear in the panel — each speaker is assigned a unique color for easy identification. Source and target language are shown for each subtitle.

5

You can download the full transcript as a .txt file at any time by clicking the download button. When you disconnect, Teams audio is automatically restored.

Troubleshooting / FAQ

I can't hear the translation
Check that the Translation volume slider is not at zero. Verify your system volume and audio output device. If the status shows "Disconnected", click "Start Translation" to reconnect. If status shows "Error", disconnect and try again — if the problem persists, close and reopen the panel.
The app doesn't appear in my meeting
Click "+" in the meeting toolbar and search for "Liora Translation". If it doesn't appear, ask your IT administrator to approve Liora in the Teams Admin Center. Note: Liora requires a Microsoft 365 business or enterprise account (not free), and works in scheduled meetings and channel meetings (may not be available in 1:1 calls).
The translation output seems wrong
Liora does not auto-detect your language — you choose it from the dropdown. Make sure you selected the correct target language (the language you want to hear). The system translates from whatever language the speaker is using to your selected language.
The translation cuts off or lags
Ensure you have a stable internet connection (minimum 5 Mbps). If the status shows "Reconnecting", Liora is automatically trying to reconnect — wait a few seconds. After 8 retry attempts, the status will show "Error". Disconnect and reconnect manually.
Can I change language during a translation?
No. You need to disconnect first, select the new language, and then reconnect.
Can other participants see my subtitles?
No. Each user runs their own independent translation session. Your language choice, subtitles, and audio are completely private.
What happens if I close the panel or leave the meeting?
The session ends automatically. Nothing remains active in the background. All cleanup is handled by Liora.
Can I use Liora in large meetings?
Yes. Liora works in meetings of any size. It identifies and translates all speakers, labeling each one in the subtitles.
