Step 1: Add the interpreter to your session.

Start by to your class session. Once they’ve joined, you can find them either on their video tile or in the People list. From there, set their camera type to Sign Language.

When you do this, you’ll see a green label appear on their video, which helps everyone quickly identify their role. 

Step 2: Keep the interpreter visible.

After the camera is labeled correctly, you have a few options for making sure the interpreter stays visible throughout the session:

• Participants can pin the interpreter: 
  This is the simplest option. Anyone in the class can pin the interpreter’s video so it stays centered on their screen.
• Instructors can control visibility for everyone: 
  If you want a more consistent experience for the whole class, you can position the interpreter so they’re always visible. Following are three ways to do this: 

Option A: Move to Podium

Use the menu on the interpreter’s video (or in the People list) and select Move to podium. This places their video in the upper-left corner of the screen, where it stays visible—even when you’re sharing content.

This is a great default option if you always want the interpreter available without taking over the main screen. 

Option B: Pin Under Podium

Use the More options menu on the interpreter’s video (or in the People list) and select Pin under podium. When you pin someone under the podium, their video is the second video on the left. This video is always visible even when you share content.

Note: Cameras pinned under the podium will not be included in recordings.

Option C: Place at Front of the Room

You can also use the to move the interpreter to the Front of the Room. This puts their video at the top of the screen, above other participants and shared materials.

It’s a good choice when you want the interpreter to be highly prominent and easy to follow.

Why This Matters

Small setup choices like this make a big difference for accessibility. Taking a minute to position the interpreter intentionally helps ensure learners who rely on sign language have a smoother, more inclusive experience.

If you’re running sessions regularly, it’s worth building this into your standard workflow so it becomes second nature.
