Conceptualizing the remote desktop part of the guac UI as a video feed (fairly equivalent), it looks like the only thing needed for 508 compliance there would be a descriptive audio track [1]: "(b) Equivalent alternatives for any multimedia presentation shall be synchronized with the presentation. ... PASS: Content presented through video, but not through audio is provided in an audio description track." So as long as the client-side UI is modified as necessary, it sounds like all that's necessary for the remote desktop is a screen reader? Guacamole would just pass through that audio and presto: descriptive audio track. - Mike [1] https://webaim.org/standards/508/checklist
