Webinar System Plug-In

Our fully-accessible webinar system features a PowerPoint presentation (slides) given by one or more presenters and a text chat area for questions and comments.

Sites with multiple participants

If your site is using a single computer and a projector to present the webinar to multiple participants, one person should be designated to enter any comments and questions in the text chat area of the webinar system.

Captioning (Real-time)

On the day of the webinar, a captioner transcribes the webinar information as it occurs. A customizable interface via the Internet displays the captioning and provides a text chat area to enter questions or comments (which the captioner will forward to the presenter).

Instructions to access captioning

Two (2) or more business days before the webinar, captioning instructions will be emailed to each Site Coordinator (the person who pre-registered for the webinar).

Captioning at sites with multiple participants:

On the day of the webinar, you can open the captioning in a second window of your web browser and place this window on top and in the corner of the window with the webinar system, or set-up another computer with a projector to view the captioning.
