# Video functionality on the interpreter's soft console

## An explanation of the video function on Interprefy's platform to help you interpret with confidence.

As long as the Floor/Source is transmitting video or sharing their screen you will be able to see a video feed on the video screen of your soft console.

The video screen allows you to:

- monitor all video feeds simultaneously and focus on the one you need the most;

- view screen shares;

- view speakers.

### Video stream functions:

1. **Change feed** - To switch between video feeds. Click on it to make that image bigger and make it appear on the main video screen (5).

2. **Toggle Video** -  To switch the entire video screen on and off.

3. **Slow down** - To send a message to the host and moderator requesting that the speaker slows down: ![](https://knowledge.interprefy.com/hubfs/image-png-Apr-27-2021-10-26-38-53-AM.png)

4. **Hide video** - To disable that individual video feed on your end.

5. **Main video screen** - Enlarged image of the selected video or screen-share.

6. **Video quality selector** -  To change the quality of the video. It reduces bandwidth use and can be helpful in the event of poor internet connection.![](https://knowledge.interprefy.com/hubfs/image-png-Apr-27-2021-10-31-01-58-AM.png)

7. **Active speaker display** -  Enabled by default. It automatically switches the video feeds to always show the person speaking.

8. **Move video to a new window** - To open the video in a new browser window.  This will use more bandwidth as the new window counts as another video feed.

9. **Full-screen** - To enlarge the main video screen. This will change the platform overview as explained in [this article](https://knowledge.interprefy.com/how-to-use-interprefys-rsi-platform-as-an-interpreter?hs_preview=XqvAyaBI-45698344617).
