Use @MicrosoftTeams with your keyboard and a screen reader to chat with your contacts.

We have tested it with JAWS and NVDA, but it might work with other screen readers as long as they follow common accessibility standards, check it out: https://t.co/pdVOIEhr0o #A11y

Adding descriptions to images is a great way to include everyone in your conversation. These descriptions, aka alt-text, enable folks who use screen readers to interpret images in Tweets. Starting today, you no longer need a setting to add alt text and it's available on 📱 & 💻.
