Rylo Desktop can caption any live call or meeting.
Call apps Rylo Desktop supports
Rylo Desktop recognizes calls in many apps and offers to caption them. The most popular apps Rylo Desktop support are:
Zoom
Microsoft Teams
Google Meet
Slack Huddles
FaceTime
Discord
Webex
If you have another app you'd like to use - let us know. As long as its used for calls or meetings, Rylo Desktop should support it.
Is it required to use desktop apps or browser?
Both work. Rylo Desktop recognizes calls in via the app's desktop version or via browsers such as: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, Arc, Brave, Vivaldi, and Opera.
When your call is in a browser tab, Rylo Desktop captions the audio from that browser. Keep other tabs quiet during your call for the clearest captions. Or use the app's desktop version when you can.
What Rylo Desktop doesn't caption
Rylo is certified by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to caption live calls. So Rylo Desktop doesn't caption audio that isn't a live call, like:
YouTube and other video sites
Movies and TV shows on streaming services
Podcasts and music
Recorded videos or audio files on your computer
If Rylo Desktop hears one of these, it lets you know the app isn't supported.
