Hello and thank you for the warm welcome. I've used Zoom off and on for a couple years, and am trying to take some of the courses in the Zoom Learning Center in order to both better familiarize myself and help out a sister. Both of us are screen reader users, and really appreciate all the hard work that has gone into Zoom development.
