Debra,
I was a Window-Eyes user for many, many years and am therefore still on this
list. I am not using Window-Eyes now, so I can't say how accessible Teams is
with Window-/Eyes, although I would be surprised if it was not at least
somewhat useable. If there is a newer technology being used that Window-Eyes
doesn't capture, you can probably do all right with NVDA. However, here is
some information I stored from somewhere else about Teams that you might find
useful.
1. To mute yourself, use Ctrl + Shift + M.
2. To send or read instant messages, go to the Chat Tab using Ctrl +

Teams has a lot of options and it is also somewhat complicated software. There
is a learning curve to using it. However, there are a lot of keyboard
shortcuts, and they may overcome whatever limitations that Window-Eyes may have
with Teams. I hope this is of some help.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson

Hi,
My work group is to start having meeting using Microsoft Teams. In reading
on it, it seems it is not accessible with WE. Does anyone on the list know
of a web site which offers tutorials or knows more about Teams?
Thanks for any suggestions! Have a blessed day!
Deborah
