Online meeting tools
As an accessibility consultant I do have a lot of online meetings now. For some of the attendees accessibility is very important. So I collected information from all kind of sources like Twitter, LinkedIn and asking people. There is no scientific basis for findings on this page. Just some of people experiences.
