Dec 13, 2022Hi Marlena, thank you for the detailed feedback! I'll take your questions in order:
1. Yes - the three of you (two interpreters and Deaf client) would all designate one another as signers, and then you would each see the other two prioritized for sign.
2. Currently just the first two pre-designated signers that turn on their video in a meeting will show. Everybody in the meeting can designate different signers, if they so choose. It would be great to understand this use case further - if you could share through the Feedback option in Teams that would be ideal.
3. If you've designated someone as a signer in your Accessibility settings, they will automatically be prioritized for sign language when you join a call together. There shouldn't be any limitations on when you can use sign language view.

Hello Elizabeth - I work with Marlena. In your message you recommended that she "share through the Feedback option in Teams." Unfortunately, feedback policies are not available in GCC so the option is not available to her. Nor are we able to use the Feedback Hub. Do you have another way for her to share the information for this use case? Thank you

Hi Jennifer & Marlena - I'd recommend reaching out to the Enterprise Disability Answer Desk in that case. They have a direct line to engineering as well.
