Captioning

We have contracted White Coat Captioning to provide live captions on Saturday for both tracks.

When you are in Venueless, look in the lower right corner for the CC button next to the video controls. It will open a separate window for the captions at StreamText. When you switch tracks, you will need to click the CC button again to open that track's captions. You can select from a variety of preset themes, or select "Custom" to set your preferred text and background colors.

Learning the Venueless Platform

We are creating instructional videos to help you learn the platform ahead of time. We also encourage everyone to attend the kick-off social and spend some time wandering around the "venue" before Saturday.
