Even people who can use a screen reader can experience difficulty juggling between live meeting content, the chat, and descriptions of slide presentations or .PDF attachments.  If possible, separating these tasks can help.  If her employer can give her an electronic copy of the accompanying documentation in advance for study, and then she concentrates on the meeting transcript in real time, and then reviews the chat content immediately after the meeting before it disappears, that should make her experience less hectic. If the meeting is interactive training, a reader assistant who either sits with her or connects remotely to her computer and can capture and relay to her  visual cues and polls which need immediate response, that may also speed up her participation so she doesn't miss as much and fall behind other participants.

Good evening,

 

I have a consumer who is deafblind.  The company she works for uses Microsoft Teams.  She has live transcript  enabled, but finds it difficult to keep up with the conversations using her Braille display.  Does anyone have any tips that might help her?
