An accessible document or application can be used by people
with disabilities—such as mobility impairments, blindness, and low
vision. Accessibility features in Adobe Connect enable people with
disabilities to use the Meeting functionality as much as possible
without a mouse.
Menu navigation
Menus at the top of the Meeting client (Application Bar
menus) can be navigated to and executed entirely by keyboard.
-
Press Ctrl+ Space to activate the Meeting menu.
-
The left and right arrow keys activate adjacent menus on
the Application Bar.
-
The down arrow key activates the current menu. To select
an item within the menu, use the down, up, left, and right arrows
keys.
-
Enter selects the current menu item.
-
Esc closes the current menu.
Navigation among pods
You can navigate among the visible pods entirely by keyboard.
-
Press Ctrl+F6 (Windows) or Command+F6 (Mac OS) to navigate
to the next visible pod.
-
When you navigate to a pod, a colored border displays around
the pod’, indicating that the pod is actively selected.
You
can specify the color of the border for all meetings in an account.
Click Administration > Customization > Customize
Meeting > Button Rollover.
Certain pods have a default field that assumes focus. For example:
-
Chat pod
-
Focus defaults to the new message field.
-
Notes pod
-
Focus defaults to the note letting you change the message.
-
Attendees pod
-
Focus defaults to the selected users in the list, or to the
first user in the list if no users are selected.
When the Adobe Connect client starts, the default focus is set
to the Message entry area of the visible Chat pod, if one is available.
If the Adobe Connect client loses focus (for example, if you switch
to another application) and later regains focus, the Meeting application
defaults back to the Message entry area of the visible Chat pod.
