Zoom takes accessibility seriously it seems: https://zoom.us/accessibility One issue that came up when Amadeu who is vision impaired asked a question in the public forum on PIR was that he was required to unmute. He stated that Voiceover was giving speech output on everything on the screen so it took him a while to locate the unmute button. I can't understand why the host couldn't do the unmuting.

Hi All,
Also the matrix that Diplo did is good but they do not rate the accessibility of the plans that they tested. If this field is added as I suggested to them their results would differ remarkably. They were still promoting Adobe Connect and Webex which are some of the most inaccessible plans for people with screen readers or ones using apple's voice over or other related technology . Also the Chat feature in zoom is clickable while it is not in any of the other web providers.
Here is the chart from the zoom website. This is the cost of adding 500 or 1000 to the current number of participants your plan offers.ICANN chose not to purchase the additional add on plan for their current subscription but we could push them to do it for the next virtual meeting
You have the option to purchase up to 1,000 participants with our Large Meeting add-on. Basic (free) plan is not eligible for Large Meeting.
* Participants * 500 * 1000
* Pro/mo/host * $64.99 * $104.99
* Business/mo/host * $69.99 * $109.99
* Enterprise/mo/host * $69.99 * $109.99
Best,
Judith

On Hipchat i was suppose to have a demo with them a week ago but i was tied up with the ISOC BOT meeting but would be interested in a demo if anyone is interested to join it. Of particular interest is the Interpreter feature
Another resource is the one Diplo created

One thing they have is this Online survey which might be a good idea for us to replicate

Hi Olivier It seems that icann did not want to pay more. I was in a zoom room Meeting that had close to 600 people. It was a lecture but the host allowed for people to comment. I ask Joly about the limits and he said even the cheaper pro accounts could have 500 or 1000 people if they paid extra for it. The group was not using webinar From that and looking at the prices is that icann did not want to pay for more than what was available in their plan

Dear colleagues,
during the ICANN meeting we saw full Zoom meeting rooms limited at 300 people and Webinar rooms assumed to be higher than that perhaps thousands of people. Are the limits technical limits, or are they they imposed by the subscriptions that ICANN got? I note the pricing which appears to point out that more than 300 people are possible for a full Zoom room? https://zoom.us/pricing
Kindest regards,
Olivier _______________________________________________ ttf mailing list ttf@atlarge-lists.icann.org <mailto:ttf@atlarge-lists.icann.org> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/ttf
