Every event format
A venue event takes audio straight from the PA. A virtual event uses a meeting bot that joins Zoom, Teams, or Meet to capture the floor into your Pikka room. A hybrid event runs both at once — and every audience member listens in their own language in a browser.
Formats
Fully in-venue events: the PA system or mixer feeds the platform, the audience scans a QR code at their seat, and interpretation plays on their phones. LED screens and projectors carry the captions for anyone who prefers to read.
Fully virtual events run through the meeting bot: it joins the Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet call as a named participant and captures the source language into your Pikka room. Attendees listen to interpreted audio and captions in a browser. Organizers can also feed system audio from any app.
The in-room audience and the remote audience experience the same event at the same time. The PA feed serves the venue. The meeting bot captures the floor into the Pikka room so attendees listen in a browser. One room code ties both audiences to the same language channels.
How it works
Offline: feed the PA system or mixer into the room. Online: start the meeting bot on the Zoom, Teams, or Meet link. Hybrid: do both.
In the venue, attendees scan a QR code or enter the room code. Remote attendees open the same Pikka room in a browser. The bot captures the meeting floor; it does not play interpretation back into the call.
Phone audio in the room, captions on the LED screens, interpreted audio in each listener's browser — all from the same language channels, all live.
The meeting bot joins Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet as a named participant and streams the source language into the Pikka room. Attendees listen in their language in a browser.

Questions
Yes. Venue audio comes from the PA system or mixer into the platform, and attendees join on their phone browser through a QR code or room code — over venue Wi-Fi or mobile data. Interpretation plays on their phones and captions can run on LED screens or projectors.
A meeting bot joins the Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet call and captures the source language into your Pikka room. Remote attendees listen to interpreted audio and captions in a browser — not inside Zoom, Teams, or Meet.
Yes. Hybrid events run both flows at the same time in one room: the venue PA feed serves the in-room audience, while the meeting bot captures the floor into the Pikka room so remote attendees listen in a browser. One room code ties both audiences together.
No. Attendees scan a QR code or enter the room code in any phone browser, choose their language, and listen. No app, no account, no receiver rental.
The meeting bot supports Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet links. For other sources, the organizer can feed system audio from any app into a room as the source language.
