Hi. So I have a couple of questions:
1. If myself and a second interpreter are working together and we are providing visual feeds (supporting each other with signs) would the Deaf person be able to see us both?
2. Will the interpreting selection be limited to two people? If we need a third team (Deaf or Hearing) or a student it would be necessary for us all to see each other. In the case of having a Deaf interpreter, it would be important to see them and not the Hearing team feeding them. Pinning is not always available, so will this be an added option for automated set up? On another note, We would also need to have the interpreter student and the professional interpreter on screen and be seen simultaneously by the Deaf participants. Is that an option? Other than pinning?
3. Can we have auto pinning for Deaf participants or Hearing interpreters that sign? It is important to be able to see everyone that will be signing in the meeting. We have noticed that once a meeting reaches a certain capacity functionality like pinning is taken away, So having this automated option would be nice.

Agree - In practice it would be good to understand whether every participant who needs signing has to facilitate the new signer-pinning functionality within Teams or just the meeting organiser (and whether that then pins the signer(s) for everyone)? Can more than one signer can be pinned simultaneously?
