Recently, there has been a switch with the ability to play videos that include sound when using YouTube directly. What we appreciate about YouTube in training is that it has closed captioning, which ...
Hi All, I've been using GoToWebinar for over a decade. I prefer it over Zoom and other similar products. I tell people about it, refer my peers to it (even though most use Zoom), etc. I am a GoTo advocate.
However, it is time for closed captioning and auto translation of people speaking during a webinar. This isn't just about accommodating people who have hearing impairment, it is a civil rights issue. The Americans with Disability Act was passed in 1990 and signed into law by George H. W. Bush.
It's time for GoTo to make the necessary technology investments to make this happen. This is 2022. As an organizer and leader of a community that includes at least a couple hearing impaired people, I'm sick of having to make excuses for GoTo.
It's time for the GoTo product engineers to sharpen their pencils, get in a GoTo Meeting together, and figure out how to **make this happen.**
Thank you for your consideration and attention to this matter.
My audience is from various parts of the world and speakers are from english speaking countries..can gotowebinar give transcripts when the speaker is speaking during the webinar for audience to have clarity
Hi,
GoToWebinar does not have this ability, though you can create pre-assigned scripts fro live closed captioning in certain programs like PowerPoint and Google Slides:There is not a way to send different subtitles to different audience members either, I'm afraid.
- that is sad. it should be taken as an idea then...
