Good afternoon - how many interpreters can we add as signers? Can it be different for everyone’s screen? For example, someone may require the ASL, but another person may require the CLT to be in the “view.” Additionally, is there more information about users having the option to turn on live captions by default so that's ready when they join meetings? Thank you!

MicrosoftGreat question! The Sign Language view is a local view to that user only. Any changes to that view only impact that users meeting view. This helps any user connect to the interpreters that work best for their needs. Teams will show up to two signers at a time, but the user can set as many signers as they want and they'll show on the main stage in the order that they were made a signer. As signers turn off their video, they will be moved to the gallery and the next available video will then be presented on the main meeting view.
Live Captions can be set to turn on by default in the new Accessibility Settings. This setting can be found during the meeting by going to the “… more” menu at the top of the screen. Go down to the “Accessibility” option. The setting will show on the right-hand side of the screen, and you will be able to turn on Captions by Default. This will be remembered for this computer/Teams instance.
