[NFBC-Info] Accessible Event Platform

[Nancy Urquilla]

Hello,

I have used Google meet in the past and it seems to be very accessible. In addition, I know it has a set of keyboard shortcuts to be used for people who are screen reader users. I don't know if it has a reaction feature like Zoom does though. Also, let's not forget an oldie but a goodie. Skype still works very well.

Sincerely,
Nancy
