Video conferencing, screen sharing and accessibility

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

I work for a software company that creates screen sharing software for schools and businesses. After a recent conversation with someone from the American foundation for the Blind it was highlighted to me the isolation that the blind community felt during the pandemic, especially with the increase in the use of zoom and other video conferencing systems.

I am keen to improve our solutions and make screen sharing more accessible to more people. It would be great if you could fill out the following form.
