Hey guys

For those who have conducted online meeting/screen sharing to
demonstrate certain screen reader web accessibility issues, what
combination of a screen reader (PC based) and online meeting software
has worked for you?
I haven't done this in some time, I think TeamViewer with Jaws worked
ok for me, and I vaguely recall I used GotoMeeting at some point with
Jaws and it worked.
But if there is a better combination, would be great to hear about it.
Cheers

I think, "TC Web Conferencing" which is used by freedom scientific for
their training purposes will be better.
Jaws has inbuilt support for the plug-in.

Window-Eyes does a reasonable job with it as well.

It depends on what's needed, but I've often found screen-sharing with
Skype to be adequate.

I agree however I have always needed a sited person to take the last step
to turn on the share there's a floating window that nvda and jaws both
don't see that you have to agree to aloud others to see your screen Lucy

I have secsesfaly used blackboard collaborate but it is so hard to get
set up and it is hit and miss sometimes it works grate and other times I
get no screen access at all. This was using older versions of blackboard
collaborate and it only worked to share my screen not for other blind
users to read my screen
