[Poscgrad] Random zoom accessibility note

[Catherine Wright]

Hi everyone!

I just learned about a simple accessibility trick for zoom meetings -- how
to enable captions in all the meetings you host.  Prof. Merolla, I added
you here in case you want to share this with faculty as well (not sure who
all is on the poscgrad list)

A few notes:

   - Zoom will not automatically give captions for everyone, it just gives
   participants in your meeting the option to turn them on
   - The captions are auto-generated so they are definitely flawed.

Despite the imperfections, it is a great tool for hearing impaired
participants or participants who are using their second language in the
meeting. It also gives you the option to allow this auto-generated
transcript to be viewed and downloaded adding an extra layer of
accessibility.

*So here's how you can turn on captions:*

**Note that you have to turn this setting on from the Zoom account on a
browser, not the desktop app. Here's a screenshot of what mine looks like:

I hope others find this useful.

Best,
Catherine
