The goal for the Accessibility Team meeting for August 4th, 2023 is to run our meeting in Matrix to give it a test for accessibility in various contexts. For the purposes of testing, we’ll want to have a diverse collection of devices and modes: high contrast, screen readers, etc., to get different perspectives on what works best.
Online App
Open the Element web app.
Change the home server from ‘matrix.org’ to ‘community.wordpress.org’
Log-in using the WordPress.org single sign-on.
Use in browser.
Embedded Chat
Go to https://make.wordpress.org/meta/chat/
Behavior is unpredictable depending on your current interaction state with this page. You may see an error and need to back up a couple of steps until you get a sign in option.
Follows the same sign-in process through SSO; only gives access to the one embedded room.
This method will probably not be very useful for us in testing, but worth looking at.
