“In this meeting, there are two ASL interpreters named “ASL - Lanette” and “ASL – Audrey.” Both interpreters are co-hosts, so their names should be near the top of the participant list. To access the participants list, click the “participants” button at the bottom of the meeting screen.”

“If a speaker begins or ends to share their screen, you may have to re-pin the ASL video each time. During a screen share, make sure that “side-by-side” mode is selected under “view options” prior to pinning the interpreter. To adjust the size of the interpreter’s video compared to the shared screen, mouse over to reveal the line dividing the two screens, and then click and drag that line to the left or right depending on your needs.”

“During the screen share, all presenter cameras will be off, so that the ASL interpreters are visible on the Facebook live stream. Prior and post the screen share, we invite all presenters to activate cameras, as the multiple spotlight functionality will carry over to Facebook in this circumstance.”

Hi from Massachusetts.

“One way to see the ASL interpretation is to find the ASL interpreter(s) in the participant list, and then right click and select the “pin video” option for that person. This will allow you to keep the interpretation video front and center during the meeting. The hosts will also “spotlight for everyone” the active ASL interpreter, so it should automatically come to the front, as well. The ASL interpreters will be switching off during the session.”“In this meeting, there are two ASL interpreters named “ASL - Lanette” and “ASL – Audrey.” Both interpreters are co-hosts, so their names should be near the top of the participant list.
