Session Features for Interpreters

Edited

SignGlasses sessions have a lot of features to make your experience a great one! This guide will walk you through those.


Adjust video size

When you join the session, you can adjust the sizes of each video thumbnail

  • Scroll your mouse over a video and click [★ Unpin]. This will make the video smaller and move it over to the right-hand side

    • To enlarge the video again, scroll over the thumbnail and click [★ Pin]

      • Pro Tip: Unpin any videos that you don't need to have as your focus.

When a video has been unpinned, it moves to the gallery on the right-hand side. There is a line in between the gallery and the main video page.

  • Click and drag this line to enlarge all the unpinned videos at once

You can also expand to fullscreen. To do this:

  • Click the [Settings] button at the bottom of your screen

  • Select Enter Fullscreen

    • Click Esc on your keyboard to go back to the normal view


Adjust your camera & microphone

You can quickly turn these on & off by clicking the buttons on the bottom of your screen that say [Personal microphone] and [Personal camera].

Remember: When your camera is on, whatever you're doing can be seen by the user and will be saved in the recording. This is saved and available to them whether they have joined the session or not.

To change the selected equipment:

  • Click the ⚙️ Gear icon in the control bar

    • This will open up a side menu on the right-hand side.

  • Select the equipment you need

Tip: Another way to access this menu is by clicking the [Settings] button at the bottom right of your screen and choosing the Devices option.


Review the Session Information

The Session Information tab shows you who is in the session and allows you to preview the session details. To see this:

  • Click the [Settings] button at the bottom right of your screen

  • Select Session Information

Here you'll see:

  • The name of the session

  • The names of everyone in the session

  • Who has joined the session

    • If there is a green circle 🟢 by their name - they are in the session.

    • If there is a gray circle ⚪️ by their name - they haven't joined yet.

      • Tip: This is a great way to see whether the user has joined & has their equipment off or is running late!

  • A pop out window for the session details

    • Click this to open up the full session information in a separate tab

Another way to see who has joined is to look at the text next to Recording at the top left of your screen. It will say how many people have connected. Click on the text next to Recording to open up this tab.


Chat with the people in the session

This is an internal chat between you, your team and the user(s).

  • Click the [Chat] button at the bottom of your screen & type your message

    • When you receive a chat message, you will see a red 🔴 icon by the Chat button

You have two chat options:

  • All Participants: Click into this tab to chat with everyone in the session. Everyone in the session can see this chat.

  • Practitioners: Click into this tab to chat with only your team. The client cannot see this chat.

Feel free to close the chat tab after sending a message! You'll see a red icon by the Chat button when they respond.
