Instructions for Translators
- You will receive an email invitation from Remesh inviting you to your Conversation. Click "View Conversation" to access.

- You'll be taken to the "Live" Observer page, where you can see and analyze Pre- and Post-Interview questions that are being asked of participants. When you're ready to join the video Conversation, scroll to the bottom and click "Go to Interviews" or click the "Video Interview" icon on the left side. Then click join.
- You'll be asked to grant video and audio permission by your browser, then you need to agree to Remesh's Video Terms. From there, you can access a page assigning what inputs you would like to use for your audio and video. Click request to join, then a host will allow you in.

- You will be able to see and hear the moderator and participants. Observers will not be able to see you, but will be able to hear you. Unmute at the bottom left of your screen to translate to observers in real-time, without the moderator or participants being able to hear you.
