Excellent video by Ryan. I would update that list - one or more of these companies you mentioned are either no longer in operation or no longer "100% deaf owned and operated" as they'd like you to think.
Another company mentioned by Ryan - Say Hey is another VRS company in the FCC certification process. Rather than churn the tired marketing line of 'excellent quality VRS' that everyone uses, it is the interpreting industry they strive to revolutonize.
Open your eyes to who your VRS calls are actually going to. Have a say in it all, like Ryan emphasizes.
Say Hey Communications
Yes, ConvoRelay, Win.Tv, ASLWave, etc are Deaf owned. But not FCC Certified, just white label currently.
Funny thing is Convo is in the top 5 VRS providers and the only white label in the top 5.
pfh you happy?

Convo become certify vrs provider
Unless I am mistaken, from reading the document it look like Convo entered an agreement with SnapVRS and is going to rebrand itself as SnapVRS
.
No. Theyve been subcontractors of Snap. Give it a month and we'll see what happens.
Convo look bad.. For example Viable was with SnapVRS. Now Convo with SnapVRS.. Deaf ownership? Its very confusing message to community. Convo cannot get FCC certificated for a while. FCC refused to give Convo cuz its not following FCC rules. So, I fuck Convo period!
Yes, you know everything.............FCC rejected Convo twices.

I noticed the SnapVRS logo on ConvoVRS app when I installed it today.
