Hi there, we are a few of the staff from Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, UK. This is a great feature that a number of our beneficiaries will be excited to learn about! Is there any plans to make it so that admin/meeting owners can pre set up the signers, so that when people turn on the accessibility features the signers are already available? Currently we have tested it and found that individuals have to assign the signers separately even when the meeting owner has marked them. Also will there be a way to assign accounts external to our network as signers again before the meeting starts?

Hi Laura, thanks for that feedback! Setting an interpreter for everyone is something we're working on; no timeline yet. In the meantime, this is as you note a user-side setting. For interpreters inside your tenant, you can preassign them in the Accessibility settings pane; interpreters outside the tenant currently do need to be added after the meeting has started. Full details here: https://aka.ms/SignLanguageSupport- Hi Elisabeth, thanks for the reply, good to know it's in the plan!
- I was able to add an external emails address to Manage Signers panel although I have not tested it yet but setting a call with the myself joining using a personal account to see what happens.
