Hi thanks for your question! That’s actually a pretty good question: the short answer is no, screen readers can’t read screen shares on meeting platforms like Zoom, MS Teams, etc. It’s just another video and so no feedback is given. In that kind of scenario, I get help from the person sharing their screen by requesting they describe the important parts of what they are sharing. Hope this helps!
Do you think having a disability is regrettable? Let me know in the comments!
And as always, thanks for watching. ♥
How do you read shared screens on Zoom/Teams? Are screen readers able to read shared screens?
