Here is a list of Teams resources, which is excellent. Thanks to David Goldfield for putting them together. He also runs the Teams list, which is the last resource -- see below.

Training Resources For Learning How to Use Microsoft Teams With a Screen Reader
Earlier today I received an email from someone asking if I knew of specific resources for learning how to use Microsoft Teams with a screen reader. I provided her with some resources and thought I would share them publicly in the event that they may be of value to other Teams users.
Brian Hartgen has produced some excellent JAWS scripts for Teams. They are not free of cost but in my opinion are worth considering. He also produced a training course called Winning Teams. The course includes these scripts.
Doug Lee has produced some free JAWS scripts for Teams. It's been a while since I've used them and so I can't provide any feedback as to the current version since I chose to use Brian Hartgen's scripts.
Freedom Scientific has conducted at least two webinars on using Teams.
Additional Short Videos From Freedom Scientific:
Navigating Microsoft Teams with JAWS 2021
Chatting in Microsoft Teams with JAWS 2021
Microsoft has more than a few support pages for using Teams with a screen reader. If you search for
Site:Microsoft.com using teams with a screen reader
Using your preferred search engine you'll surely find many relevant pages. This assumes that your search engine of choice honors the site: prefix for specifying a Web site to search.

Finally, while I am not able to provide one on one support I own and moderate the Teams-access mailing list where you can ask questions or offer support to other users of Microsoft Teams.

The Teams Accessibility list I know about is a GROUPS>IO list.  You can get to the page by going to

https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgroups.io%2Fg%2Fteams-access&data=04%7C01%7Cdavid.b.andrews%40state.mn.us%7C89d089d5521949d3c3cf08da068e1700%7Ceb14b04624c445198f26b89c2159828c%7C0%7C0%7C637829505018573697%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=8QaXAI6oUQyljSWm14LRmNHCtw%2FD5jmz6mI%2BkzDkkUI%3D&reserved=0

and you can subscribe from there.  I don't remember the format of an email subscription request for GROUPS.IO, but that probably also works.

Best regards,
