Hello at work, I am required to use the project management feature of Teams called KANBAN I suggest Nfb reach out to Microsoft about access accessibility and making this feature work. I would be intentionally grateful for any other blind individual to share their success about using this feature without cited assistance, thank you very best John

Hi Charles,

I haven’t checked out your new site regarding Teams accessibility yet, but I look forward to doing so.

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.
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.

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 Microsoft’s credit, they do listen and respect the Federation’s ability to collate feedback, even though change is sometimes slower than we would like.

I appreciate the work you are doing to highlight these issues and look forward to reviewing the site.

Best regards,

Jonathan Mosen

Thanks again all that had feedback for the info on the new site TeamsAccessibility.com
I’ve posted a new article on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/microsoft-teams-needs-shortcut-announce-active-speaker-vanek-n284c
That describes the latest article requesting the addition of reading the active speaker in Microsoft Teams which you can read at: Microsoft Teams Needs a Shortcut to Announce the Active Speaker: A Table-Stakes Feature | TeamsAccessibility.com<https://www.teamsaccessibility.com/articles/teams-shortcut-announce-active-speaker>

I’d appreciate some additional followers on LinkedIn, currently looks like less than 10 needed to move me to 1,000 +
I’d also appreciate reactions on the post, Like, Support, Celebrate with whatever reaction you like.

On the site I’ve also added Author profiles (right now it’s just me). I’ve also added more FAQs and improved AEO & GEO.

If you want to write an article on the topic of Teams Accessibility, but you don’t feel like you could polish off a compelling read, never fear.  I’ve built TeamsAccessibility.com with an AI agent that has built in guidelines for cleaning up any decent quick written article.  I’d 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.

I hope you are all enjoying a relaxing weekend.

Best,
Charles
