Viewing sign language interpretation

When sign language interpreters are added to a meeting or webinar, they are shown in dedicated video channels that are pinned and spotlighted, identifying the specific type of sign language they are interpreting. Participants can select which sign language video channel they’d like to view, and resize or relocate the video window as needed.
