Zoom Usability for people who are blind or vision impaired

Blind Sports & Recreation Vic. is NFP organisation and we are continually having problems with our blind community people trying to log in to our meetings and events we set up.  Zoom does not seem to be user friendly for people who are blind and often change or move tabs or layouts.  The biggest problem we have is how to set up meetings that are easy for them to log into from computer, mobile or land line phones.  Can anyone help us?

    Propongo desarrollar una función de activación y control por voz (al estilo Alexa) para ordenadores y teléfonos móviles.

    El objetivo es que los usuarios especialmente las personas con discapacidad visual puedan unirse a reuniones o ejecutar comandos simplemente diciendo «Hola Zoom, unirme a la reunión» , sin depender de la pantalla, el ratón ni cambios en el diseño de la interfaz. Esto resolvería de raíz los problemas de accesibilidad actuales.
