Introducing Getting Started With Zoom Meetings: A Guide for JAWS, NVDA, and
iPhone VoiceOver Users (Digital Copy)

With so many of us now learning, working and connecting through remote
methods, the Zoom video conferencing application has quickly become a
household name. Nearly overnight, the Zoom meeting platform has become an
indispensable tool for professionals, educators, and simply for staying in
touch with family and friends. Whether you want to use Zoom professionally
or personally, knowing how to use the platform’s wide variety of functions
has never been so important.
