This step-by-step guide shows you how to use Claudio Live on your Claudio account.
Imagine you're hosting a webinar, a live event, or an important business meeting that will reach hundreds, maybe even thousands of viewers. You’ve prepared the content, ensured the visuals are perfect, but there’s one question lingering: is your message truly accessible to everyone in the room — or on the other side of the screen?
Accessibility in live events isn’t just a legal requirement for some industries; it's a sign of forward-thinking inclusivity. With more people engaging with content remotely, the demand for live captions is skyrocketing. Whether you’re hosting an online lecture, streaming a live sports event, or conducting an international conference, ensuring that your content can be understood by those with hearing impairments — or anyone who may be multitasking or in a noisy environment — can be the difference between a successful event and one that leaves people feeling left out.
That’s where Claudio Live steps in. By adding real-time captions to your live events, you’re not only meeting accessibility standards, you’re bettering the experience for every viewer. Claudio Live makes it easy to set up real-time captions for any event directly from your computer, so that your message is seen and understood by everyone — instantly.
Setting it up might seem daunting, but it's actually very simple and easy!
Let's walk through how you can set up Claudio Live to make your next event more inclusive and accessible than ever before.
