# How can I test how I look and sound before joining a session?

## Through Interprefy's pre-call test functionality, you can test your equipment, record and listen to a short sample of your voice.

When joining a session online, we rarely know how we actually sound to other participants and to interpreters who are translating our speech in real-time. This can pose quite the challenge to those trying to follow the dialogue.

That's why, [earlier this year](https://www.interprefy.com/resources/press/companynews/pre-call-test), we have introduced the pre-call testing functionality for Connect and Connect Pro meetings, allowing meeting participants and interpreters to get a full overview of their computer settings and internet speed ahead of a meeting.

#### Making sure you know you sound great

Today, we have updated this functionality to give participants the opportunity to record and listen to a short sample of their audio. To make sure you know exactly how you look and sound to other participants in the session - ahead of joining.

#### In any session

The pre-call testing functionality is available via the pre-call testing page that can be accessed through this direct link:

Not only is this a useful resource when joining a session on Interprefy Connect or Connect Pro, but literally any session - whether you're hosting a webinar or joining a Zoom call.
