Summary

REV is a closed captioning tool that integrates with Zoom for OARS accommodations. If a student needs accommodations for Zoom, the faculty needs to contact OARS to get REV licensing. 

Instructions

To use REV, a couple Zoom settings need to be verified. To adjust Zoom settings, log in at zoom.bethel.edu and select "Settings" on the left. 

"Closed Captioning" needs to be turned on.

"Allow live streaming meetings" needs to be turned on with only "Custom Live Streaming Service" selected.

Once REV is applied to the account and the Zoom settings are verified, REV is available to all members in the Zoom meeting.

If the Closed Captioning is not automatically available, try this jump start process:

  1. Click "Closed Caption" in the Zoom meeting
  2. Click "Copy the API Token"
  3. Go to https://www.rev.com/zoom/start
  4. Enter zoom email address and paste the API Token
  5. Click "start live captioning"


Once Closed Captioning is available, all other participants just need to click "Show Subtitle" from the Closed Captioning option.
