At the risk of sounding handwavy...the bitrate/quality should be high
enough so that the signing can be distinguished clearly, and no lower?
But more seriously, just asking about bitrate, without extra information
about the actual size (width/height) of the video, how big the ASL
interpreter is presented in the video (just a tiny picture-in-picture in
the corner, or actually taking up half the image?) etc, is not likely to
yield any tangible/actionable answers...

(It's a bit akin to asking "what JPEG compression percentage can I use
on my images to ensure they're still good enough?")
