Past webinars

Between 2021 and 2023, project officers and invited guests of Deafblind Information Australia (DBIA) ran live webinars on topics in deafblindness as part of their grant funded work to increase awareness and knowledge of congenital deafblindness. Following is the collection of recordings and transcripts of these webinars. The recordings of the Question and Answer sessions which followed with the live audience are also included.

Using captions on YouTube videos

All DBIA webinars are captioned.

Some have Open Captions. The captions will display throughout the video and cannot be changed.

Others have Closed Captions. To turn these on, click the ‘CC’ button at the bottom of the video on the right hand side. You can change how you view the captions on YouTube to suit your needs.

Click and drag the caption bar to your preferred location on screen.

You can change settings such as:

• Font
• Text colour and size
• Background colour and size

Click on the ‘Settings’ button, which is next to the ‘CC’ button.

Select ‘Subtitles’ from the menu bar.

Then click ‘Options’ in the top right hand corner.
