well, given there is no more uniformity in appreciating sound then there is a uniform sighted verses blind people concept at all, I would say certainly some do. What tends to happen with consumers in general is that they think it is supposed to be that bad because they hear it everywhere. MP3 content can be the same, with a desire for better sound feeding the return of lp records. Companies and individuals who take their communication seriously either use different services, instant teleconference for example, or run the sound through a proper filter. Not everyone calls in on the same sort of device, and I have yet to be at a zoom event where the presenter tried taking questions, or doing more than the captive audience thing. Still this has nothing to do with the nonexistent two sides of a coin concept of sight or its absence.

Lots of these webinar things have bad sound quality-and the more you have on 
the lines, etc, the worse it seems to be!!  Wonder if sighted people think the 
quality is as bad as most of us probably do?!

I will add that  zoom allows you to give participant's a call in number 
instead, a fine option for those ho prefer attending without video at all.
Granted as is often the case when the audio is video based, the quality is sort 
of nose crinkle  worthy, but at least the door for phone alone is there.

Hi all,
I saw on Twitter yesterday that a new web conferencing service was discovered recently: 
www.zoom.us <http://www.zoom.us/>. The big news here is that they have an accessibility 
website (https://zoom.us/accessibility <https://zoom.us/accessibility>), an email address 
(acc...@zoom.us <mailto:acc...@zoom.us>), and a commitment to keeping their product 
accessible. They claim compatibility with VoiceOver, Talkback, and NVDA, covering all the major 
platforms.

I haven't tried the service at all, and am going off only what I read on their 
website and in the article that pointed me to them in the first place. However, 
things look good. If you're in need of this kine of service and you try Zoom, 
I'd love to hear what you thought of the experience.

I haven't been following the Citrix thread, so I apologize if this was already 
brought up over there.
