Remote meetings wiki & points to workshop

To the RQTF

Ahead of our RQTF meeting, I wanted to circulate the links and points for discussion

Remote meetings wiki, restructured draft:
https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/research-questions/wiki/Accessibility_of_Remote_Meetings:_Structured_Draft

The points to workshop re below. Would be good to get some clarity on the points and then to work out the applicability of the advice. I.e.

  *   Is it procurement?
  *   Is it guidance to the platform developers?
  *   Is it content that can be prepared?
  *   Is it an existing feature or instruction that can be done by host or participant?

List follows.

Advice for W3C on inclusive video conferences, from Immersive Captions Community Group -- needs categorization by role, and integration.

  *   Behaviours "pin" a number of people, not just one person.
** CART, Interpreters
** Positioning of spoken interpretation

  *   Incorporate captioning into products
** where would it go? how do you handle multiple people
** allow ability to move the captions, don't force it at a single place

  *   Allowing superimposition of a/few windows, like a captions window

  *   Adjust size of different windows (helps low vision)

  *   Don't always obfuscate foul language, make it an option

  *   Allow different prioritization of audio and video (for low bandwidth situations)

  *   Adjust control of captions (opaqueness, colour, size)

  *   Camera:
** can we minimize brightness adjustment.
** disable autofocus (hands in front of camera/face blurry)

  *   Large groups: emphasize chat usage

  *   Discovery of features is a problem (what exists, how to use, etc)

  *   Need to be able to capture a recording of the interpreter in the meeting [Consider moving this into the RAUR]
Thanks everyone,

Scott.
