KB1354 - Using Sign Language Mode in Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams has a "Sign Language Mode" that can help to improve sign language communications during meetings.

Use Sign Language Mode in Teams meetings to create a more inclusive and accessible experience for deaf and hard-of-hearing participants. Sign Language Mode prioritizes sign language interpreters and automatically elevates signers to the active speaker position.

This feature has these key advantages:

• It keeps signers visible on screen.
• It improves video quality for them.
• It makes it easier for everyone to follow the flow of conversation, ensuring that signers are not lost when content is shared.
