Zoom now has Voice Translator (spoken AI translation into participants' ears, not just subtitles), and translated captions as an add-on SKU; Teams and Google Meet both ship multilingual live captions on paid tiers. For most remote teams this is good enough and costs ~nothing extra.

DeepL's translation quality is its whole reputation, and Voice for Meetings puts that engine on live calls plus in-person conversations. Best fit if your languages are in DeepL's ~33.
