Visual Pod for use by Sign Language Interpreter

Please add a visual pod that can locked in place to show a sign language interpreter. The captioning is good, but our Deaf and Hard of Hearing community has indicated that an interpreter does better and allow for indication when the speaker has changed.

    This feature is now considered overdue and is a hygiene factor in competitor products.

    Please also implement in Teams Live as well as Teams.

    I agree this needs to happen. ASL is a deaf or hard of hearing persons 1st language. Reading is harder for them and they do not get as much out of the meetings. If the person is hard of hearing it is harder for them to participate because they have to type there responses speaking is difficult.
