Send the meeting link
Give the interpreter the correct platform, joining link, passcode if required, start time and a contact person in case there is a technical problem.
Make the interpreter easy to see
Participants should know how to pin or spotlight the interpreter. Avoid layouts where the interpreter becomes a very small video tile.
Check cameras and lighting
The Deaf participant and interpreter need a clear view of each other. Use stable cameras, good lighting and enough bandwidth for smooth video.
Allow for preparation
Share the agenda, names, slides and specialist vocabulary before the session just as you would for an in-person booking.
