Optimizing the Use of Tools during Zoom Presentations
Zoom has five tools that a presenter may use to foster participant interaction: reactions, chat, Q&A, Polls/quizzes, and whiteboards. Attendees to this session will learn about accessibility issues related to these tools that some participants with disabilities may experience. Attendees will receive a high-level overview of some of the strengths and weaknesses of these tools' support for a participant using screen reading software. Attendees will also review principles and processes that a Zoom presenter can implement to optimize the accessibility of their use of these tools.
