Use case

Cross-region meetings where nobody sits through a language they don't speak.

A referral-group meeting runs on a tight agenda: introductions, the referral round, a featured presentation. The moment chapters connect across borders, members who don't share the language are effectively guessing. tlive puts the whole meeting on each member's phone in their own language.

A business networking meeting in progress; one member speaks while others read translated captions on phones held low at the table.

What usually happens on a cross-chapter call

  • Sixty-second introductions go fast — a non-native member misses the specifics and the referral opportunity with them.
  • The featured presentation is the most valuable part of the hour, and the people who can't follow it quietly disengage.
  • A visitor's first meeting is the one that decides whether they return. Language is a bad first impression.
  • Live interpreters are excellent and expensive — not something a chapter can fund every week.

Setting up before the meeting

  1. 1

    Create one long-running event

    Make a single event for your chapter. The link and QR code stay valid, so there is nothing to regenerate each week.

  2. 2

    Put the QR code in your opening deck

    Most chapters already run a fixed opening slide deck. This is one more slide.

  3. 3

    Set the audio source to "both"

    That covers speakers in the room and remote members coming through Zoom.

During the meeting

Members choose their own language

One meeting, one QR code — some read English, others read Chinese, nobody is switched between.

Visitors can follow too

No account and no install, so a first-time visitor is not locked out of the one meeting that matters most.

Send the record afterwards

Share the referral-round transcript so members can act on what they heard.

A practical tip for the chair

Show the QR code twice — at the open and again just before the referral round. Late arrivals need that segment most, and they are exactly the people who missed the opening slide.

Don't take our word for it — run one yourself.

Sign up and a test event is ready immediately. Use your own voice and your own material to judge the translation quality. Thirty minutes is enough for a full rehearsal.
