Re: [orca-list] accessible way to screen share with lync (skype for business)

[Tom Masterson <kd7cyu gmail com>]

Sky is the lync for linux package I mentioned.  It is actually qt and is 
marginally accessible.  Lots of unlabeled buttons and text entry fields, 
menus that you have to access with the mouse, etc.  Also I was unable to 
even get it to let me add a contact or actually get any noticable action 
from the buttons I could see.

I reported the accessibility issues to them and they are going to do their 
best to fix them but that doesn't help in the present.

If anyone has had better luck with it please let me know.  Note the free 
version only allows 2 minutes of phone or screen share and I was unwilling 
to spend $50 until it works.

Thanks
Tom
