A web player for your event audience
VoxVent delivers interpretation audio to attendees’ browsers. Listening does not require a dedicated app: attendees need the room link, an internet connection and a compatible device. The player can run as a full page or be embedded in the event website.
The page displays the configured languages and can use the event’s logo and colours. Production can also choose whether to show the Original button, useful when the audience should see translations only. Hiding this button does not change autofloor or the production app’s audio sources.
Pause and Play: return to what is live now
At a live event, pausing listening should not create a recording to catch up on. The new behaviour silences the audio while keeping the live stream connected. Pressing Play returns to the content being broadcast at that moment: audio from the paused interval is skipped.
Data usage and the listener place remain active during a pause. Use Stop to leave the room. Pausing therefore does not disconnect the listener or release their connection.
Locked-screen listening: what we have checked
Initial operational tests on an iPhone confirmed locked-screen listening and pause/resume with the updated player. This result applies to the tested device; it does not certify every iOS version or phone. Android, additional devices and extended sessions remain part of the next tests.
Before an event, test the phones, browsers and headphones that will actually be used. Background playback also depends on the operating system. If another user gesture is required to start audio, use Play on the selected language.
Network and latency: reading the right numbers
The player tolerates temporary access-check errors and checks the connection again when the network returns or the page comes back to the foreground. Longer interruptions can still require rejoining, so checking venue connectivity remains essential.
Connection details show RTT and jitter when available. RTT measures the round trip between the phone and the server; it is not total audio delay. Measuring audio delay requires comparing an original signal with its playback on the phone. We do not present a network measurement as an end-to-end latency promise.
Plan a test with your audience
- Check at least one iPhone and one Android device on venue Wi-Fi and mobile data.
- Test language selection, screen lock, Pause/Play and Stop.
- Check network switching, coverage and battery life.
- Provide headphones and clear attendee instructions.
- Configure web listener places for the expected concurrent peak, not the total invitation list.
The service is under testing: availability and capacity are agreed before the event. Start with the licence configurator and the technical checklist.
