Visually my proposal creates no clutter. As new attendees sign in and raise
their hands, an additional name appears at the bottom of the list. Innocuous
at worst. The summary is, in effect, being provided in real time.

Debbie, is it Screen reader clutter? Is it the case that every time the tool
refreshes, or is refreshed, the screen reader starts from the top? If you
set the tool to manual refresh, would there no clutter during this "sign on"
time?

It creates a lot of clutter. I think the Chair should provide a summary of
who is there just before it seriously begins. And could periodically note
late arrivals.

But having them ALSO raise their hand lets everybody know - not just the
omnipotent chair.
