BSL communication
infrastructure
Free, secure video calling built specifically for sign language - for deaf organisations, interpreters, educators, and everyone they serve.
Why deaf.support exists
Built out of respect — not commerce.
Too many deaf organisations, interpreters, and schools rely on generic commercial platforms not designed with sign language in mind. Zoom and Teams were built for the general market. deaf.support was built for this community specifically.
The Community tier is free, open, and secure — no data selling, no corporate gatekeeping, no ads. Priority and White-label plans simply cover infrastructure costs so the free tier can stay permanently free.
For organisations that need their own platform — a branded app, a dedicated server, full procurement documentation — the White-label tier delivers exactly that, at a fraction of what UK agencies charge.
We believe communication is a right, not a product. Sign language deserves infrastructure that respects it — and the people who depend on it every day.

Who made this
deaf.support was built by a UK software developer who works closely with deaf organisations and has seen first-hand how hard they work — often with very limited resources and tools not designed for them.
This platform is built to last: transparent about what it is, honest about what it costs, and committed to keeping the free tier free — permanently.
"Built with care. Offered freely. Maintained with respect for the community it serves."
Frequently Asked Questions
Honest answers to honest questions.
Is deaf.support really free?
The Community tier is genuinely free — 200 minutes per month, no credit card, no hidden fees. It is a permanent commitment, not a trial. Priority and White-label plans cover infrastructure costs so the free tier stays free for everyone.
What is the difference between free and Priority?
The Community tier gives you 200 minutes/month on shared UK servers — enough for regular use, but it may occasionally experience congestion during busy periods. Priority subscribers get unlimited minutes, dedicated bandwidth, and routing that guarantees smooth HD video with no freezing.
Who can use it?
Deaf organisations, sign language interpreters, advocates, educators, healthcare teams, corporate HR departments, and anyone in the deaf community who needs reliable video communication.
Is my meeting private?
Yes. Meetings are not recorded or monitored. We do not sell data or show ads. Calls use peer-to-peer routing where possible. UK-hosted servers mean your data never leaves the UK.
Do I need to create an account?
A lightweight registration is required — just your email address to verify and track your free minutes. No password, no forms, no personal data beyond that.
What happens when I reach my 200 free minutes?
You will receive a notification as you approach your monthly limit. Once reached, you can upgrade to Priority for unlimited access, or wait until your minutes reset at the start of the next month.
Why not just use Zoom or Google Meet?
Commercial platforms are built for the general market. deaf.support is designed specifically for sign language communication — with the video quality, frame rates, and simplicity that the deaf community actually needs.
What does White-label include?
White-label gives your organisation a fully branded platform — your own domain, your logo, and your own dedicated UK server isolated from all other clients. It includes branded mobile apps for iOS and Android, an installable PWA, SLA-backed uptime, and full procurement documentation. Pricing is a one-time setup fee plus a monthly maintenance fee. Contact us for a tailored quote.
Is White-label suitable for NHS or public sector procurement?
Yes. We provide full written proposals, technical specifications, GDPR documentation, SLA terms, and references — everything a procurement team needs. deaf.support is also working towards G-Cloud (Crown Commercial Service) listing for approved-supplier status.
Can I pay annually for Priority?
Yes. Priority is available at £190/year — saving the equivalent of two months compared to monthly billing. Useful for interpreters and small organisations who prefer a single annual payment.
How long can meetings last?
There is no time limit on any plan beyond the Community tier"s 200 minutes/month. On Priority and White-label, stay as long as you need.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. deaf.support works on any modern browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile — no app download needed. White-label clients receive native iOS and Android apps published under their own developer accounts.
Will the free tier stay free?
Yes. The Community tier is a permanent commitment to the community. Priority and White-label plans exist to cover infrastructure costs and keep the free tier running sustainably — not to generate profit at the expense of the community.
