JAWS just seemed as if it wouldn't interact with the interface at all.

Even if it were a few dollars more, the fact that it does everything

It certainly will not be a "hardship" for them to do it, since Zoom

reasons of lack of accessibility.
That is the sort of information that will cause software creators to

If the Administrator of the conference has enabled you to join the

Using the app on an iPhone is very accessible. You will be able to
see who has join the meeting and if they want to all see you when you

Ari, I am very fortunate to be on a good team who is helpful, when things
are not accessible. For today's meeting, I wound up dialing in by phone.
My team did the rest of the visuals.

Unfortunately, unless something has changed, GTM is really not usable with
JAWS. I missed an event I wanted to attend because of this. I couldn't
even get into it or hear it.
JAWS just seemed as if it wouldn't interact with the interface at all.
Since it's for your work, this is not a great situation, but let's hope
your colleagues will be understanding and make some sort of adjustment for
you.

In practice, how hard is it to get an employer to switch to something
more accessible? I get answers a lot on mailing lists that just say
use something else when something is inaccessible, but you have the
problem of being in the minority if you are blind.

Hi,

I need to join an online meeting for work. It is hosted using
GoToMeeting.
GoToMeeting’s customer service said they do not have any information
on using it with JAWS 2019. There was no information on GoToMeeting’s
website either. Have you ever used it? How well does it work?

Thank you,
Mike

I was really hoping to find something software based that would work on a modern computer.  If there is such a thing,they aren't advertising it very well.  My best chance may be to find a working dec express.  I used to have one and liked it a lot.

I use google, apple and outlook servers with TB and this is not an issue for me. The one time Had your issue it was with an very old bacbell.net e-mail that was not being supported any more. So have you tried reinstalling TB It is easy and painless. Also you have to enable less secure apps in Google and use two factor authorization with app specific passwords with apple.

Hey Everybody,

The issue I'm having with Tb is that it keeps giving me an error message that my password was sent unsuccessfully to the server. It seems to do this when I check email on my Iphone and then come back to the computer later to get what I need. Usually I can reboot the computer and it will let me through to receive emails. However as of today, it's not working.

Now my friend has been having this problem for a while and has consulted with her ISP to see if it was something on their end. She has changed her password many times and the problem persists.

For the most part I am very patient when it comes to technology but Tb is working my nerves right now.

Thanks for your suggestions and if you have anymore I would gladly take them under advisement.

That's a very general statement, making it hard to thelp you decide on something different. What's causing Thunderbird to get on your nerves?
In other words, what features do you not like, or find missing, or don't work as expected?

I was doing some work with West Ham and they tried to use go To Meeting which was totally inaccessible.

In the end they just switched to using Team Viewer as an accessible form of screen sharing was what we wanted to do.

If an application is inaccessible resolving this is not always immediate.

The pressure and censure for inaccessibility should however never fall upon the disabled  user who is a victim of careless code which has been inaccessibly implemented without regard for inclusion.

In the UK at least in working with the Public Sector companies are expected to work to a higher standard than this – is this not still the case where you are?
