Sign Language Interpretation

 

Viewers in Teams can designate their own sign language interpreters. 

To enable the sign language interpreter view in meetings: 

  1. Click More "..." > Accessibility > Manage Preferred Signers 

  1. Start typing the name of the interpreter and select the interpreter from the list of search results 

  1. Click Save when ready 

 

If you work with interpreters from outside your organization, or in any situation where you need to work with an interpreter not on your preferred signers list, you can prioritize any other meeting participant for sign language from the Participants list or participant context menu 

 

Note: The options mentioned in the steps below are only available if you've turned on the Sign Language option in the Accessibility tab in the app settings. 

  • To add a signer from the participant list, select People. In the list of the meeting participants, find the person you want to assign as a signer, and then select (More options)> Make a signer. 

  • To add a signer from the participant context menu, select (More options) next to the participant's name in their video, and then select Make a signer. 

 

If you want to designate a signer for the entire meeting to view prominently, use the Spotlight feature by clicking on the “…” next to the interpreter’s name in the Participants window and click Spotlight for Everyone.
