Adding a human interpreter to an ongoing FaceTime video call

Hello,

In this press release from last month:

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/05/apple-unveils-new-accessibility-features-and-updates-with-apple-intelligence/

It indicates the following: "For sign language interpretation app developers, a new API supports users in adding a human interpreter to an ongoing FaceTime video call."

I have looked over the WWDC26 sessions but have not been able to find any information on this new API. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

Thanks for your interest in this! This is still coming later this year, and isn‘t yet available in any of our developer betas. Stay tuned!
