We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, regardless of circumstance and ability. We're committed to continually improving the built-in accessibility of our products to provide a great experience to the widest possible audience. For more information, read our full Accessibility Statement.

In Webex Events Registration and the Web App, we also offer an optional overlay with selectable accessibility profiles and adjustments, powered by a third-party AI solution. Keep reading to learn how to activate the third-party overlay and what the attendee experience is like.

This service provides captions in over 30 languages at no additional cost!
