You can provide real-time text transcriptions or language translations of the video
conference by displaying closed captions on your system. When you provide
captions for a conference, the captioner uses a web browser to listen to the
conference audio and enter the caption text in the system's web interface. When
the captioner sends a unit of text, all sites see it on the main monitor for 15 seconds.
The text then disappears automatically.
When you provide captions for a conference, the captioner may be present, or may
