In a very encouraging development for the hearing impaired community, Microsoft has introduced 'sign language view', a new meeting tool and experience in Teams that will assist people who are deaf or hard of hearing, interpreters, and others who use sign language. 

Sign language view will provide a more predictable, static meeting experience that will allow users to prioritise up to two other signers' video streams for placement on centre stage.

"When sign language view is enabled, the prioritised video streams appear at the right aspect ratio and at the highest available quality. You can enable sign language view either on the fly during a meeting or as a setting that persists across all your calls," Microsoft said in a blogpost.
