Messenger Video Call Translator

Only you need the app.

AI Call is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Messenger or Meta. Messenger itself does not currently provide built-in live video call translation.

How to translate a Messenger video call

Three steps. The other person needs no app.

1

Open AI Call and copy your Call Link

Install AI Call (free), choose your language and the other person’s language, and copy your Call Link.

2

Send the link in Messenger

Paste the Call Link into your Messenger conversation. The other person does not need AI Call — they just tap the link.

3

Talk with live translation

They join a translated voice or video call. Both sides hear translated speech and read bilingual subtitles in real time.

Prefer to dial a regular phone number instead? Use the phone call translator — only you need AI Call, the other side answers a normal call.

Can Messenger translate video calls?

Not on its own. Messenger does not translate live voice or video calls — both sides hear the original language during the call. Any “translation” you have seen in Messenger applies to text chat, not the live audio of a call.

AI Call provides the missing live-translation layer. Start your conversation in Messenger, then share a Call Link to continue in a translated AI Call with two-way voice and subtitles.

  • Bilingual on-screen subtitles for names, numbers, and noisy audio
