Plan to join us on Wednesday, August 26 at 2 p.m., ET for a special webinar with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Disability Rights Office.

Our panel will cover the accessibility updates on matters that are important to you, including accessible video programming, emergency communications, and telecommunications. The FCC Disability Rights Office staff look forward to a highly interactive workshop to address your questions and concerns.

Helpful Hints and Tutorials

  • Zoom concerns have been addressed and procedures will be modified as Zoom continues to update their software. The main security issue was with open meetings. When you register, it creates a unique link for a password protected session.
  • Use a computer. If possible, attend the meeting on a computer rather than via a smart phone or iPad. This will give you the best layout to view the captions as well as other meeting features.
  • Captions. This meeting will be open captioned. Captions will be visible at the bottom of your Zoom meeting screen. Closed captions will not need to be enabled.
  • Check your time zone. This meeting will take place live at 2 p.m. ET, 1 p.m. CT, 12 p.m. MT and 11 a.m. PT. If you are in a different time zone, please adjust the time so you do not miss the meeting.

NOTE: HLAA does not offer Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for participation in our webinars.
