Why is this a problem?
Some digital tools used for meetings and teamwork are not accessible to everyone. When tools are hard to use or not available to all, some people are left out and cannot fully take part.
Common problems include:
- Tools that don’t work with screen readers or other assistive technologies
- Buttons or features that are hard to use with a keyboard
- Missing or limited captions, screen reader support, keyboard navigation, high-contrast modes, and sign language/interpretation support.
- Security settings that block accessibility features
- Platforms blocked in some countries
- Tools that need fast internet or powerful devices
