[NFBCS] Captioning a Zoom meeting

Thu Oct 15 18:19:53 UTC 2020

Good morning, I have a question since I am a duck blind person. How well does it compare with zooms default captioning? And is it as good as screen cast? I'm curious to know the answer to these questions so that I can take any pet beneficial answer, back to my fellow board members of the national Federation blind deaf blind division. Another words this thread interest us greatly. Any thoughts?
