[NFBC-Info] Accessible Event Platform

[mike at michaelhingson.com]

Hi,

I have found WebEx less than ideal on Windows. Also, GotoWebinar and other LogMeIn offerings are not accessible.

Zoom offers not only the meeting platform we usually see, but it also offers a full webinar feature that can broadcast with Facebook Live or YouTube.


Best Regards,


Michael Hingson

Good  morning,
 I have had  success with WebEx.
 I use it often at work. 
Now what I will say is that I use IOS and MacOS and with that said I can’t speak to how well it works  on windows  with JAWS or NVDA or on android platforms.
