What challenges do you anticipate occurring when using VRI?

![Page 13: Video Remote Interpretation: Establishing Access to Post-Secondary Environments for Deaf Students](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813afb550346895da38e8b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Test call in the room that is being used for the class
• Be willing to switch the classroom if needed• Try multiple methods of VRI before making a
decision– iPad– Laptop– Skype– FaceTime– Google Hangout– PC vs MAC
• Need a better connection? Hardwire the computer as opposed to using wireless internet
