[NFBCS] Feedback welcome on a new website regarding Microsoft Teams Accessibility

[Joe Orozco]

As someone with an irrational hatred of Teams, I appreciate the website. I
don't know that Skype was ideal, but it was a hell of a lot better than this
cluttered monstrosity.

 

These are things I hope will get added to the site. If I figure out a
cohesive way to do it consistently with JAWS, I will contribute:

 

*	Adjusting the settings so that I don't miss incoming messages if I
don't happen to be wearing my headset. At present, I'm not aware of new
messages unless I go looking for them.
*	How to easily share content. I've stumbled on to how to do it, but I
don't feel as though the process is intuitive for sharing screens, specific
applications, or giving control.
*	Adding people to a Favorites equivalent of Skype.
*	Shortcuts for quick tasks like placing calls, jumping to an
attachment in a message, etc.

 

So many more things, but these seem like the recurring headaches.

 

I appreciate the strives Microsoft has made, but truly, they create these
applications in a silo and then get pushy about making people like what they
cobbled together, like Copilot. Design a smoother experience, and people
won't need to be forced to use them. It'll happen organically.

 

Whew! It must have been a longer Monday than I anticipated!

 

Joe

Accessibility

 

Good evening,

Hope everyone had a great Monday.  

 

Recently I've been very frustrated with Microsoft Teams. As a long time Zoom
& Slack user Teams is quite the efficiency killer. Even some of the most
basic items, even the Microsoft D.A.D support staff struggle to answer and
find work arounds.  I honestly feel like I'm teaching them things about
Teams rather than the other way around. I suspect the D.A.D team doesn't do
a lot in Teams or they use a small form factor of Teams functionality.

 

So what do I do when truly frustrated and need things to change for the
better?  I write a CMS framework, buy a domain name, draft a few articles
and launch a website.

 

I'd really appreciate feedback.  Find it at
https://www.teamsaccessibility.com 

Email feedback, your own FAQs, even author an article I can consider posting
under your authorship.  Send directly to feedback at teamsaccessibility.com
<mailto:feedback at teamsaccessibility.com>  

 

The site has no analytics, it won't trigger any tracking, it's got a A+
certificate score from Qualys, a 115 out of 100 on Mozilla's security
benchmark, SEO, AEO and GEO features all designed to invite not just people
like yourselves but my intent is AI will pick up this information. In doing
so my hope is improvement will come.

 

Best,

Charles
