FAQs

Can I request interpreters on-demand during a Zoom meeting?

Yes. Jeenie supports true on-demand interpreting in over 65 languages directly inside Zoom, with the same speed and reliability as the Jeenie platform overall.

On average, users connect to a live, skilled interpreter in just 8 seconds.

This matters in healthcare settings where conversations can’t wait—unexpected patient needs, urgent follow-ups, last-minute consults, or sensitive discussions. Instead of delaying care or rescheduling conversations, teams can bring an interpreter into the Zoom meeting immediately and keep things moving safely and effectively.

Many healthcare organizations report that Jeenie is so fast and dependable that they rely primarily on on-demand interpreting rather than scheduling sessions in advance. This gives teams greater flexibility when plans change and helps control costs, since organizations only pay for the interpreting time they actually use—not time reserved “just in case.”

How does Jeenie work inside Zoom?

Jeenie integrates directly with Zoom through the Zoom Marketplace app, allowing users to request professional interpreters without leaving their Zoom meeting. Once installed, Jeenie becomes part of your existing Zoom workflow—no dial-in numbers, no switching platforms, and no separate coordination required.

For healthcare organizations that already rely on Zoom for telehealth visits, care coordination, staff meetings, or multidisciplinary consults, this integration removes friction at the exact moment language support is needed. Interpreting becomes a built-in capability rather than a separate process, helping teams stay focused on patients—not logistics.

Is Jeenie HIPAA-compliant for healthcare Zoom meetings?

Yes. Jeenie is built to meet the security and privacy requirements of healthcare organizations, offering HIPAA-compliant interpreting for clinical, administrative, and patient-facing Zoom meetings.

Jeenie’s platform is supported by enterprise-grade, top-tier technology designed for regulated environments, with safeguards in place to protect sensitive health information. Both the Jeenie platform and the Zoom Marketplace app are compliant, and interpreters supporting healthcare interactions are professionally vetted and trained to operate within HIPAA requirements.

HIPAA-compliant interpreting is available for clients on Jeenie Plus, Premium, and Enterprise plans, making Jeenie a strong fit for organizations that need dependable language access without compromising on security, privacy, or quality. This allows healthcare teams to confidently use Zoom for telehealth visits, care coordination, behavioral health sessions, discharge planning, and internal discussions—knowing language access is handled responsibly and at scale.

Which Teams Get the Most Value from Jeenie in Zoom?

Jeenie’s Zoom integration is especially valuable for healthcare organizations that already rely on Zoom as their primary meeting and telehealth platform—including hospitals, clinics, community health centers, behavioral health providers, and public health organizations.

By embedding professional interpreting directly into Zoom, Jeenie helps teams deliver equitable care, reduce administrative burden, and respond quickly to real-world language needs. The result: fewer delays, smoother workflows, and better communication—without asking staff to change how they already work.
