Zoom and Accessibility
Zoom and Accessibility
Tuesday, February 6 | 12pm - 1pm
In this workshop, we will showcase practices and features to make your Zoom Meetings more accessible. With Zoom being an essential technology in our teaching, learning, and working spaces, it is important that all your participants are able to fully experience the content of your meeting. Many of these features are tucked away in the settings, meaning that accessibility is just a toggle away.
This workshop will cover:
• Overview of Zoom and the need for accessible meetings
• Recordings, audio transcripts and captioning
• Configuring meetings for speakers, interpreters, and translators
• Using Zoom's interactive features accessibly.
Location: Zoom
