# Language and accessibility

## Overview

Breakroom is committed to hosting events where *everyone* feels included. This includes offering language support and visual accessibility options.

## Language support options

Language support is built directly into Breakroom. Support offerings may vary based on:

* Whether you're logging in on a [desktop application](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/desktop-viewers) or using [World Stream](https://docs.breakroom.tech/opening-the-doors/world-stream).
* Whether your device is running Windows or macOS.

Currently, we offer display language support (such as translated UI components) and keyboard support. Below you will find tables detailing which options are available based on your login method and your computer operating system.
