Re: [orca-list] orca and zoom

[<prayner unimelb edu au>]

I've only been using zoom on linux for a couple of weeks but have
found the accessibility at least passable. I can join a meeting, I can
start a meeting, I can change settings and the keyboard shortcuts are
by-and-large usable. Nothing like as accessible as my IOS version but
way more productive for sharing with students etc. I've been running
tutorials that way since we were locked out of campus. Remote desktop
sharing has also been a good way of getting sighted assistance on the
various inaccessible web-sites I have to use. All in all a pleasant
surprise if far from perfect.
cheers
