I'm not exactly sure how that would work.
If the purpose of the room was to communicate to each other using sign language, then the users would have to be able to see each other.
So then, what about the users without a cam, or who don't want to be on cam?
Good idea, but I'm not sure it's a viable option.
It also sounds alarms in my head...as making people very vulnerable.

as has been said, I can't see the difference between a dead person reading text and a hearing person reading text....
but I'd love to learn sign language
and as cam is already used in the main room, what makes it worse to use here? I guess the difficult bit would be distributing time on the cam, unless it is possible to make several appear at the same time

Because you're providing for one group to use their primary method of communication, but requiring another to just "deal with it and type". That, by definition, is not fair.
ASL doesn't magically take more time than someone speaking with their voice either. Time would not be an issue. I'm sure the camera could be used, but not if people were constantly complaining out of a misunderstood discrimination.

I'm not saying it would take longer... I have seen sign language "spoken" many times
but if it is meant to be education as well as communication it need to enable people to sign simulationuslu, or at least that would make it a lot easier
and I stand by what I said. My primary communication is talking, it don't make tyoing harder. I reckon deaf as 100% equal to the hearing, and I know what it is like being made "handicapped" without being, that was why I said I can't see the difference
So people who aren't born hearing just need to suck it up and type like the rest of the hearing people? Make-do in a hearing world and call it good? There's not that many so it's not a big deal?
I mean by that argument we should just not waste concrete or wood on making wheelchair ramps.
This is the frustrating part of dealing with people who are never around anyone different.

why are you so aggressive? all I', saying it its not more difficult for deaf to communicate than the hearing , especially online
I have said three times now I WANT the room, so don't attack me
and I have been around deaf people and even gone out on cafes with them, being the only one NOT understanding sign language, so be careful accusing people

Aggressive though that might have been, I'm not attacking you. I'm a nurse and I get very passionate about such subjects, I apologize if I upset you.
Yes, typing is an option, but when accomodations are made for the hearing to use voice and video chat then I don't see why they cannot be made for the deaf and hearing impaired.
