Question

Subtitles

During Zoom meetings many laptop audio systems produce inferior sound quality. In addition, at least some participants are hard of hearing. Moreover, it's quite common for presenters to mumble and/or have difficulty speaking clearly.

 

Given these nontrivial challenges, it's always shocking to me how few Zoom meetings automatically provide subtitles or, upon a request for their invocation, how many Zoom hosts lack the technical skills to make them happen.

 

IMO, it would behoove Zoom to make subtitles a default option or, short of that, make their enabling  so easy that even a complete tech moron could do it.

    ALL OF THIS! =ALLOFTHISALLOFTHISALLOFTHIS=
    In Google meetings, I, as the user, just click a button and away I go.
    In Zoom, f**ked if I know how to go about getting them working. The help files are completely unhelpful.

    ACCESSIBILITY SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD...
