Things to consider:
Microsoft Teams cannot connect into our current videoconferencing hardware in ESDC Boardrooms and use the Camera and Microphones of the VMR unit. Because of this, in its current state, Microsoft Teams is not a recommended approach in a boardroom setting.
The Inclusive Meeting Planning Guide and the Inclusive and Accessible Event Planning Guide has helpful information on how to make your meeting/event accessible.
If you have questions regarding accessibility or for more information, please submit a request to the IT Accessibly Office (ITAO).
