Zoom offers a wide range of accessibility features designed to support instructors in facilitating online classrooms and virtual meetings. These tools also help students learn and participate by eliminating barriers and accommodating different learning styles in the online classroom.

Let’s take a moment to quickly review some of Zoom’s accessibility features:

• Zoom offers live captions through automated transcription and Cloud Recording audio transcripts. 

• Zoom supports keyboard shortcuts and offers screen reader support. 

• In the Zoom Workplace desktop app, users can customize the font size of chat messages and captions. 

• The webcam Pin and Spotlight features can also assist in applying focus on any participant’s webcam. 

• Hosts can customize the webcam gallery. Customizing the gallery view can arrange participants so attendees can more easily follow conversations. 

With these features and more, Zoom’s accessibility tools help to ensure that virtual communication in the online classroom is available and supportive for as many people as possible.
