Facebook Live Adds Closed Captioning for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Users JFacebook says its bringing closed captioning to Facebook Live to make at least some of the videos streamed live on the social network accessible to people who are deaf and hard of hearing. Once the newly generated Falcon URL is loaded into your streaming software, your captioner has your iCap access code, and Falcon is loaded with your Facebook Server URL - your stream will flow through the Falcon server for captioning and then arrive fully captioned to your Facebook destination. Falcon also supplies you with a unique "access code" to give to your captioner which allows them to access your program audio and deliver captions to your stream.
Setup requires you to provide your Falcon account with the unique Facebook Live Server URL you are ultimately streaming to along with some other basic credentials such as which captioning service you are using. Once you click "Launch" - Falcon generates a custom URL for you to place in your Streaming Media Software settings (this will tell your software to stream to the Falcon servers). Content providers simply direct their stream to Falcon first - Falcon then provides a realtime audio reference to your choice of caption agency (or our Lexi Automatic Captioning Service), and encodes the incoming captions into your stream before forwarding the fully captioned material to the Facebook Live Server URL you provide the application during setup.
