Re: [orca-list] orca and zoom

[Nolan Darilek <nolan thewordnerd info>]

I wouldn't bother. I've run a regular Zoom meeting for a while now. I 
signed up via another app a while back--either web or Android--but was 
able to sign in. But, every time I tab to what I assume is my list of 
upcoming meetings, I hear "Layered pane" and nothing else. On Windows, 
this is a nicely navigable list, and Zoom meetings themselves are very 
accessible.


I assume Orca and/or Electron aren't sophisticated enough yet. Was 
waiting to file bugs until we had fewer moving targets. Meanwhile, I use 
Zoom nicely in a Windows VM or on my Android phone, and have high hopes 
that it will be as accessible under Linux soon.


On another bright side, a Jitsi accessibility-related PR was recently 
merged, so hopefully things will improve on that front. And Firefox 
improvements are also supposed to be right around the corner.
