Even though the mic and camera are disabled for most birdies – most of the time – vrNest has a crazy cool translation chat ability.
Set it up by clicking that same icon on the top right and then “Chat Settings” as shown below.Set both the Voice Input Language &Text Chat Translation Language to your local language
and in the Chat Box (see the top left corner of your screen to select it)And Finally, at the bottom of the chatbox itself (hit the down=arrow to open it) also select translate and ensure the language set matches the 2 above.
And whatever you send will be translated to the language of the other users in the chat.
This is an amazing feature for our international vrNest users and we can’t wait for it to be perfected!
So use it as you please – but don’t complain if it isn’t always working 🙂
