Zoom currently has a closed caption option that seems to work well¡ªstill in pilot stage, I believe. ?Seems to have pretty accurate live transcription¡ªmay help a bit. ?I have seen it in the webinar format, but not sure if it is (or will be) available in the meetings format.

Hi all,
Zoom is not currently accessible to deaf and hard of hearing folks. There are no live autocaptions. There is an option to hire a third party captioning service or have someone actively transcribing the call while it is going on. These are not ideal solutions. Live autocaptions are more convenient. How are you making your calls accessible to deaf and hard of hearing folks? Google meet has very accurate live autocaptions.

Hi Sharan,?
I've previously struggled with this - great if you're a participant but not if you're a presenter.? However this week I worked out a new way of seeing my slides, participant cameras and the chat - It was a little convoluted but worked a treat!?
A colleague shared my slides on their screen and gave me access to control the slides and this enabled me to see everything all together - just like a participant would see - slides, chat, polls & cameras.? However, if my colleague touched their screen they took over the control.? Next time I'll set up my ipad and laptop so I can manage both together.?
With 400+ people joining the zoom plus live streaming on Youtube with 200+people it was a bit hairy but worked out great - I like seeing the participants cameras, it makes presenting so much easier.
All the best,
Zoe??
