Re: accessible third-party commercial online chat options

We use Microsoft Lync within our school and also with our distance
learning math students. The chat feature appears to be accessible during a
web meeting and also in the stand alone chat client. We have students
access the chat feature using refreshable Braille displays.

The Lync accessibility team visited our school and worked with us a few
years ago. Our students also sent feedback to a Yammer developer for
awhile too. I¹m curious what experience others have.
