Is there some kind of extra software that i need to download to use the video chats on this site? I think using them would help me learn better, but when i join one it just comes up with a grey screen with a picture in the middle of a camera with a line through it. It might be something to do with software, or just that my webcam isn't enabled somehow (let this site access my microphone and camera when the pop-up came up though). I'm on my Lenovo laptop with Windows 10 if that helps. Thanks in advance!

Hi Daisy, maybe try a different internet browser too!
Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox etc all have diff securities and settings which might be blocking the camera.

If that doesnt work have you installed any required drivers for your webcam?

Whatever the make of camera, go to the manufacturers website, check the support pages and there should be a drivers and downloads area where you can search for the particular model.

Hi! I'm so sorry I didn't see this, I haven't been on here for a while. I'm not sure whether Zoom works for me either, but if I can work it out and you still want to practice we can one day if you want?

      Hi, ok, so the Goose hosts a D/deaf Pub, which appears to be a Thursday Evening (I'll put more info on my website when they approve my FB Joining). I highly recomment D/deaf Pubs and Clubs to attend, because you get to see BSL in the real world, where as other students will sign how the tutor has taught them and (in my case) not all tutors sign the same way, so real life experience can be a huge bonus. (check out the website, just added the goose deaf pub info at deaf.mymentalwellness.uk)

      Hi. erm... so, the deaf.mymentalwellness.uk page, you dont have to log in for that, it should give you two buttons, pressing the deaf pub / resources will take you to deaf.mymentalwellness.uk/events.php This is up and running, I have 30 venues listed, adding more when I get time. The bsl.mymentalwellness.uk page, im having to put in security measures for that page. This one you will have to log in, so the system can remember you and give you a distance based on postcodes. It will also have a block function as advised by my legal guys. The idea is to bring students L1/2/3/4/5/6 together with Native BSL Signers which will provide practice opportunities for the student, and social activities (Meetup for coffee) for the D/deaf person. If your interested in helping test and give feedback, please message me privately and ill give you instructions on how to access the page. Thanks Kim

      Hi Kim, i'll be interested. I have posted a need for a BSL buddie, and the location/distance is an important part of being a buddie. I think we all need it to be convenient to meet and practice.

      How to get more involved in the Deaf/HoH community

      By Berry Rhead · Posted

      I'm a 13 year old girl with moderate to severe unilateral deafness, I currently wear a BAHA on a headband and I want to get the implant and I have recently started learning BSL. I know that my hearing loss is quite low but I still really want to be involved in the Deaf/HoH community but I have no idea how.
