[NFBCS] Accessible Screen Sharing Question for WebEx

[Taylor Arndt]

Hi all,
What I do is I get the presenters to send me materials on my own computer so this enables me to follow along. Kurtis you are correct in that screenshare no matter what platform isn't accessible for the participants who are blind to read right off the screen.

Hello:

Unfortunately, screen sharing is not accessible to people who cannot see the screen. This is true no matter what meeting platform you are using. Best to ask to have the files sent to you in advance or (next best) after the meeting.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Hi,

If you are totally blind and in meetings where information is being screen shared to you, how do you get the information you need?

Thank you,
Mike
