[Electronics-talk] web conferencing platforms

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi Jude,
Where do I get this google player?
Is this free? I've often found problems with html 5 as it uses lots of tabs.
But I'd like to see this player to see if its accessible.
Is this free?

Thanks

Google uses course builder software and it's html5 video player to
provide accessible webinars.  Since the navy won't allow google's html5
video player to be used, I wasn't able to find out how well this would
work with jaws and have nvda on the home windows box.
