Right now Zoom doesn\u2019t support automatic closed captioning of sessions in progress, but it does allow a few options with respect to closed captioning: (1) Either the host or another meeting attendee can type the closed captioning throughout the session OR (2) You can integrate a third party closed captioning service. For more information on closed captioning in Zoom, click here.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-57\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-240x240.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-240x240.png 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-160x160.png 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-360x360.png 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 24px) 100vw, 24px\" \/> Enable Live Transcription<\/h3>\n<p>You can turn on Zoom\u2019s automatic live transcription service to display a transcript in the side panel in-meeting. Make sure to enable the &#8220;Save Captions&#8221; setting in your zoom account settings in zoom.us to be able to save the .txt file of the transcript in your meeting. All meeting participants will be able to save the transcript if you enable this setting.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-57\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-240x240.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-240x240.png 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-160x160.png 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-360x360.png 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 24px) 100vw, 24px\" \/>Share screen share materials ahead of the session<\/h3>\n<p>While Zoom\u2019s screen sharing feature is enabled to be as accessible as possible for screen readers, sometimes sematic markup and full document content can be lost. You can make your content more accessible by providing the documents, notes, and website links to attendees in advance.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-57\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-240x240.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-240x240.png 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-160x160.png 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-360x360.png 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 24px) 100vw, 24px\" \/>Describe your Screen Share Content<\/h3>\n<p>You can further enhance the accessibility of your screen sharing by describing what\u2019s on the screen. This is particularly important if you are using the annotation tool (screen readers currently cannot read content added using the annotation tool).<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-57\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-240x240.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-240x240.png 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-160x160.png 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-360x360.png 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 24px) 100vw, 24px\" \/>Use the Chat Sparingly<\/h3>\n<p>Not only is it difficult to monitor conversations in the chat box while also listening to a presentation, it can also be difficult to switch quickly between Zoom\u2019s different features when using assistive devices like screen readers.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-57\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-240x240.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-240x240.png 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-160x160.png 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-360x360.png 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 24px) 100vw, 24px\" \/>Share Chat Posts through Additional Avenues<\/h3>\n<p>You can improve accessibility of the chat box feature by reading aloud the questions that arise in the chat box before responding to them. You can also ensure chat content gets shared via different avenues as well. For example, if someone shares a link in the chat, share that information with participants via email after the session.<\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-57\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-240x240.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-240x240.png 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-160x160.png 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box-360x360.png 360w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/zoom\/wp-content\/uploads\/check_box.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 24px) 100vw, 24px\" \/>Enable Sign Language Interpretation<\/h3>\n<p>For meetings with attendees that are deaf or otherwise hearing impaired, use the Sign Language Interpretation feature in Zoom. This ability is supported in Zoom Meetings and Webinars with a separate video channel for the Interpreters that can be moved or disabled by participants. Up to 20 participants can be assigned by the Host, and they can self-manage their video feeds, allowing you to focus on presenting.
