<p class="MsoNormal">Monica – Were your users refer to the Zoom event specifically? Everyday use on Zoom, no doubt, is accessible, but Zoom event is very new (a year old), and the VPAT admits some areas are not accessible for screen readers and keyboard-only
users. Zoom will provide me with a free trial so that I can test against their VPAT.<o:p></o:p></p>
