        Hi, you can use the video feature of Skype. The app is completely 
accessible. You need to turn on video once you're in the call though. You 
can use Skype on a phone or computer.

Subject: [nabs-l] Video Calls

Hi all,

I'm doing a virtual presentation on Thursday and I think my audience
will want to interact with me visually as well as listening to what I
say. What's the most accessible way to do a video call? Which iPhone
apps are most accessible? I think the group is used to using Google
Hangouts. I have it on my phone and can access the contact list to
call people, but once I'm in a call I can't read the screen at all
with VoiceOver. Does video automatically start when a call connects?
Are there other apps that are more accessible than Hangouts? And once
I'm in a video call, what's the best way for me to aim the camera to
ensure I'm being seen properly?

Thanks for any help.
Best,
Arielle
