Online Conferencing

The online meeting and conference rooms offer similar features, but have some important differences.

The meeting room was created for collaborative events, in which all participants can share their screen, connect the video and audio and know who's participating in the meeting

The online conference or webinar room was designed so that only the host or speakers can share their videos, audio files and screens. In the webinar room, participants view the presentations only as spectators. They can interact through Q&A, chats and participate in polls. Only the host can activate the audio of the participants.

Interpreting Hub

The Loft of Words, a former warehouse located at the heart of the historic centre is a space that's being refurbished to serve all the professionals in language and technological services, where you can find a centre dedicated to remote interpreting; a state-of-the-art interpreting HUB. Learn more about AP PORTUGAL's Loft of Words.

In the IT sector there are many self-employed professionals; the so-called Digital Working Nomads who make our planet their virtual or digital office. The Loft of Words makes it possible to implement this remote working model. Nowadays, the use of WhatsApp or Skype or even Google Hangouts facilitate communication in video calls or conferences when we work remotely.

At AP | PORTUGAL, our professionals who work remotely use Zoom for video conferences and Workplace by Facebook as their digital office.

Portuguese Sign Language

AP PORTUGAL's virtual remote interpreting (VRI) service instantly connects people who are deaf or hard of hearing to an online interpreter through a specially designed app available on all devices. Our platform is available 24/7 throughout the entire year, giving our customers increased access to professional Portuguese Sign Language interpreters specialised in areas for which on-site interpreters may not be available.
