Video Communication

The use of video technology for real-time or asynchronous communication, including video calls, video messages, and video posts on social media. Video communication is the primary medium for remote sign language use, as sign languages require visual transmission of hand movements, facial expressions, and body language. For Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals, video communication platforms are essential for full linguistic participation online, but they also create privacy challenges since users must show their face and body to communicate in sign language.
