One thing thats a pain point for me with Teams use is when somebody invites me to a meeting that they were already in. They havent sent me a calendar request, but theyve sent me an impromptu meeting invite control shift. S the normal answer the call command
does not work in this window. I think somewhere theres a pop-up on the screen, but I could never seem to find it so I end up either missing or having a lot of frustration dealing with these types of impromptu meanings. They need to get this fixed its really
breaking my workday and thats my feedback about Microsoft Teams. If somebody on this list could talk to Microsoft about that it needs to be fixed immediately.</div>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="">Hi Charles,</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="">I havent checked out your new site regarding Teams accessibility yet, but I look forward to doing so.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="">In my capacity as Executive Director of Accessibility Excellence at the National Federation of the Blind, I meet regularly with Microsoft product management teams, including the Teams accessibility product manager.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="">When it comes to Teams, our discussions frequently focus on efficiency as well as accessibility. We continue to emphasize that accessibility features must not only make the product usable, but also enable people to work
quickly and effectively.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="">You are welcome to send any suggestions, feature requests, frustrations, or pain points directly to me. We have a direct line to the appropriate teams at Microsoft and know who needs to hear this feedback. Specific examples
are especially valuable. If there are aspects of the user interface that slow you down, create unnecessary friction, or otherwise let you down in day-to-day use, those details help us make a stronger case for improvements. To Microsofts credit, they do listen
and respect the Federations ability to collate feedback, even though change is sometimes slower than we would like.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="">I appreciate the work you are doing to highlight these issues and look forward to reviewing the site.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="">Best regards,</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Thanks again all that had feedback for the info on the new site TeamsAccessibility.com
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Ive posted a new article on LinkedIn
<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/microsoft-teams-needs-shortcut-announce-active-speaker-vanek-n284c">

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">That describes the latest article requesting the addition of reading the active speaker in Microsoft Teams which you can read at:

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Id appreciate some additional followers on LinkedIn, currently looks like less than 10 needed to move me to 1,000 +
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Id also appreciate reactions on the post, Like, Support, Celebrate with whatever reaction you like.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">On the site Ive also added Author profiles (right now its just me). Ive also added more FAQs and improved AEO & GEO.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">If you want to write an article on the topic of Teams Accessibility, but you dont feel like you could polish off a compelling read, never fear. Ive built TeamsAccessibility.com with an AI
agent that has built in guidelines for cleaning up any decent quick written article. Id be happy to work with anyone who has first hand experience and a quality feature request, experience within teams, widespread bug report, etc. I can run it through the
AI and let you work with it to approve. You also can have an author profile if you like, or at this time it is totally optional, but I do have to have an author name to keep up site reputation.</span></p>
