Picture this: a vibrant, dynamic meeting where participants from around the globe converge, engaging and collaborating seamlessly, regardless of their physical location or language barriers. This is the new frontier of hybrid meetings, where Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI) has revolutionized the way we connect and communicate, going far beyond the traditional concept of hybrid events.
In today's fast-paced, interconnected world, hybrid meetings have evolved to encompass much more than just a blend of on-site and remote participants. They now incorporate cutting-edge hardware and software solutions, improved accessibility and inclusivity, as well as an emphasis on cost-effectiveness and sustainability. These innovations have made hybrid meetings increasingly popular among a diverse range of organizations, from businesses to institutions, bridging the gap between the virtual and in-person realms.
That’s why we decided to take a closer look at hybrid meetings today, see how they evolved over the past few years with the addition of the RSI, and what they entail now.
Traditional hybrid events are often defined based on whether participants attend online or on-site, leaving the question of how to categorize events with RSI services unanswered.
At Interactio, we have coined the term ‘integrated meetings’ to describe these types of events.
Going beyond the limitations of traditional hybrid events, integrated meetings allow all event contributors, including speakers, interpreters, AV professionals, and moderators, to join from wherever they are located. By utilizing Interactio's advanced technology, we enable seamless participation without constraints related to distance or technology. There’s no need to pick a side between software and hardware; we make both types of technology work together.
With no set industry definition for hybrid events with RSI services, ‘integrated meetings’ offer a solution for organizations seeking to host inclusive, accessible, and technologically-advanced events.
At Interactio hybrid meetings, interpreters on-site and at home can work together seamlessly. They can choose up to 6 relay channels simultaneously, do handovers, and switch channel sources as if they were in one room.
We offer crystal clear audio quality of up to 510 kbps, one of the highest in the industry. However, we understand that hearing your speakers is often not enough. That's why we also offer up to 30 video slots in a meeting to provide a superior visual experience. With Interactio, you can deliver a high-quality audio and video experience to all participants, regardless of their location.
We prioritize the security and protection of your event data. We provide 24/7 network monitoring, storage of log entries, audit checks, and vulnerability scans to ensure the security of your event. Moreover, we are officially certified for data security (ISO 27001) to give you peace of mind.

Interactio helps you forget about complex multi-step setups. All you need to set up your event is Interactio event panel. All you need to stream your event is a stable Internet connection. Organizing a multilingual event has never been easier.
Our on-site participant console enables on-site attendees to engage in virtual conversations, polls, and file sharing with other participants or technical support professionals who are joining the meeting virtually on the Interactio platform. This feature promotes inclusivity and provides all attendees with a comprehensive hybrid event experience.
Interactio's AV console is the technical heart of the video-meeting platform. Technicians can oversee all video and audio channels, monitor interpretation, chat with participants and interpreters, and stream the feed to and from other platforms. With the AV console, you can ensure that your event runs smoothly and efficiently, even if you are miles away.
We designed our moderator console with the on-site event hosts in mind. Moderators join the Interactio event via a dedicated soft moderator console where they can control the meeting flow and who access the meeting, rename participants, lower all hands, mute/unmute attendees, lock and unlock rooms and end the meeting.
Interactio hybrid integration doesn’t need constant manual check-ups from the tech team. Once the equipment is in place and the connection between hardware and software is set, your interpreters’ team has all the functionalities they need to deliver your message, and our team is ready to support you anywhere in the world.
Through the innovative use of Remote Simultaneous Interpretation, hybrid meetings have broken down language barriers and created an environment where all voices can be heard and understood. By seamlessly integrating conferencing hardware and software solutions, these events foster greater accessibility and inclusivity, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to participate and contribute to the conversation.
But perhaps the most compelling aspect of multilingual hybrid meetings is their potential to redefine sustainability. By reducing the need for international travel and on-site resources, hybrid meetings significantly cut down on carbon emissions, waste production, and energy consumption. In doing so, they not only contribute to a greener future but also offer cost-effective solutions for organizations of all types and sizes.
Ultimately, multilingual hybrid meetings, powered by Remote Simultaneous Interpretation, are paving the way for a more connected, inclusive, and sustainable world. As we continue to embrace these innovative meeting formats, we can look forward to fostering stronger, more diverse global collaborations that will drive progress and inspire new ideas for generations to come.
