With YouTube, Spanish subtitles are an option playing back a meeting later, but not live.

The equipment would allow for live Spanish subtitles for Council meetings as well as for all broadcasts on Anaheim TV.

Staff is currently looking to implement in early 2024 and look forward to sharing updates of the progress.
