Comparison of two teleconferencing systems with respect to accessibility and usability for blind persons: Zoom and BigBlueButton

Activity: Talk or presentation › Contributed talk › science-to-science

Description

In this memo, two teleconferencing systems, Zoom and BigBlueButton, are compared with respect to their accessibility/usability with a screen reader software for blind users. Here is the list of products, with the precise version numbers, which are covered in the report. It is understood as work in progress, meaning that, over time, I plan to include more screen readers and web browsers, perhaps even more teleconferencing systems, in the comparison.
