Webex App | Manage your sign language interpretation role in a meeting
If a meeting host assigns you as an interpreter in a meeting, participants who view your language channel can watch your interpretation. These participants see your video on the stage, the main video area of their meeting window. Only those who view your channel see you on the stage.
This feature is available on our Webex Suite meeting platform. Find out if your meetings use the Webex Suite meeting platform.
When a meeting host wants you to provide sign language interpretation in a meeting, you receive a meeting invite. The email includes information about how to join the meeting . It lets you know that you're invited as an interpreter and which language channel you're assigned to.
If you're one of several interpreters in a language channel and you're waiting for your turn to sign, turn off your video when you join the meeting. When your video is off, your video thumbnail appears above the active speaker or shared content, not on the stage.
