This feature is available on our Webex Suite meeting platform. Find out if your meetings use the Webex Suite meeting platform.

This feature is available in a Webex scheduled meeting and a meeting associated with a space. For Personal Room meetings, you can only assign interpreters after you start a meeting.

You can't assign the meeting creator, host, presenter, or cohost to be an interpreter.

When you start the meeting, sign language interpretation is enabled and available to anyone who subscribes to the sign language channels that you add.
