Video conferencing tools  Distance teaching  Distance meeting  Disabled people  Accessibility 

The current covid-19 pandemic has transferred educational, work and other activities on-line and made it essential to be able to use videoconferencing tools. This raises many issues for disabled people, including the accessibil-ity and usability of these tools. However, studies evaluating accessibility and usability of these tools seem to be lacking and this paper contributes to filling this gap. It has three main contributions: (i) the presentation of crite-ria to be used in this valuation; (ii) a preliminary study of the experiences of the two disabled authors; (iii) preliminary recommendations for tool de-velopers.
