[NFBC-Info] Accessible Event Platform

[yoshinoscott at gmail.com]

Good morning, 

I have used Microsoft Teams for work, and it is as accessible as Zoom. Zoom has more keyboard shortcuts as of now. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all,

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
