Happy #DisabilityPrideMonth2023 Everyone
Browsing tech support pages is exactly the sort of nerd activity RantWoman sometimes grabs when there is an unexpected gap in time mentally scheduled for something else.
Today's excursion: reading about all the accessibility features one can adjust in Zoom.

RantWoman was zipping along in her notice existence but don't remember details mode until...RantWoman reached the section about screen reader support.
Behold

| Can any of RantWoman's super supportive groupies, well-intentioned allies, or random passers by tell what is wrong with a screen shot about this exact information? |
(Psst: this is a snapshot in time. If the image disappears because RantWoman has brought the issue of inaccessible inforrmation aimed at exactly the people who need this particular accessibility information, it MIGHT be because RantWoman has connected this post with Zoom tech support and the problem has been fixed.)
Fear not. Y'all are in good company. Why just yesterday RantWoman had to pen a similar piece about Zoom instructions received in connection with an event in RantWoman's beloved faith community. The post is full of jargon, but perhaps readers will still get the point. New frontiers in meeting accessibility planning.
As long as RantWoman is going off, RantWoman would like to add that it is very nice to ask people whether they need any specific reasonable accommodations. HOWEVER, it would also be lovely to invite others to share accessibility tips.
For example, consider always sharing the mute / unmute command, *6, and the raise / lower hand *9 commands when there are people dialed in by phone.
Also, many people like to lip-read. People have lots of reasons to keep cameras off. RantWoman considers it good manners to turn camera on when speaking. People who like to lip read might also prefer Speaker view to gallery view.
