Each self-serve Live Link supports a session of up to one hour. It is a practical fit for talks, lessons, services, workshops, and other short sessions.

What if our event is longer or more complex?+

Tell us about your schedule, audience size, languages, rooms, and accessibility needs. We will review the request and confirm whether a tailored setup or pilot is possible.

Is Ekto a replacement for professional interpretation?+

Ekto provides AI-generated live captions and translation. For legal, medical, safety-critical, or guaranteed-accessibility requirements, use an appropriately qualified interpreter or captioning provider.
