How to translate an Instagram live in real time

On iPhone, open CapCrush, start the screen broadcast and go back to the live: captions in your language appear in a small window on top, in any of 60 caption languages. On a computer, open the live in Chrome or Edge and share that tab with BizCrush Live for captions or interpreter voice.
