We also use zoom for our distance students to video conference into classes and we’ve had no issues thus far with this setup.

It’s usually about 7 to 10 of us.

Wonder if sighted people think the quality is as bad as most of us probably do?!

Granted as is often the case when the audio is video based, the quality is sort of nose crinkle worthy, but at least the door for phone alone is there.

The big news here is that they have an accessibility website (https://zoom.us/accessibility<https://zoom.us/accessibility>), an email address ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <mailto:[email protected]>), and a commitment to keeping their product accessible. They claim compatibility with VoiceOver, Talkback, and NVDA, covering all the major platforms. I haven't tried the service at all, and am going off only what I read on their website and in the article that pointed me to them in the first place. However, things look good. If you're in need of this kine of service and you try Zoom, I'd love to hear what you thought of the experience. I haven't been following the Citrix thread, so I apologize if this was already brought up over there. -- Alex Hall -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
