One can use file transfer from within Zoom to send the document in addition to displaying screen share.

I looked into that a few months ago when I noticed Continuing Ed. presenters were using screen sharing for their slides. I found that screen sharing in Zoom is just a video pipe of whatever is on the person's screen so it is not accessible to screen readers. I pointed this out to the provider (California Lawyers Association) and they said they would make sure to have the presenters provide their slides and materials ahead of time so I could reference them.

To my knowledge, the screen share feature in Zoom is inaccessible to screen reader users.

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to see documents or information that is being screen shared in Zoom? Or is there an app where this is possible? My boss was trying to screen share something with me yesterday and I couldn't read it.
