Can simultaneous interpreting be done on a video call?

Short answer

Yes. Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Webex all provide interpretation channels that carry a separate audio feed, so participants choose the language they listen to. What limits quality is not the platform but audio discipline and speaker behaviour.

Simultaneous work depends on hearing every syllable a fraction of a second after it is spoken. Laptop microphones in a hard-surfaced meeting room, several people on one device, and speakers talking over each other all break that. Insist on one headset microphone per active speaker, a wired connection for the interpreter, and a chair who names the next speaker. For sessions longer than roughly 45 minutes, two interpreters rotating is standard — attention decays sharply after that.

Send materials in advance: agenda, slide deck, participant names and titles, and any technical or product terminology. Names and figures are what get misheard on a compressed audio channel, and a pre-shared glossary removes most of that risk. Run a ten-minute technical rehearsal on the actual platform the day before.
