Accessibility statement

LiveSlide.Pro targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA across the product, and Level AAA for colour contrast on the participant intake page. We have not yet completed an independent audit, and we list known shortfalls on this page. Our goal is that every participant can submit their input and every presenter can run a session, regardless of disability.

What we do

  • Color contrast meets AAA targets (7:1 for body text, 4.5:1 for large text and UI components).
  • Keyboard navigation across every interactive element with a visible 3px focus ring.
  • Touch targets for primary controls are at least 44×44 pixels; secondary controls such as inline help buttons are at least 24×24 with a 44×44 activation area.
  • Semantic HTML with correct heading hierarchy, landmarks, and ARIA only when native HTML is insufficient.
  • Form labels on every input, with descriptive help text and error identification.
  • Skip-to-content link on every page.
  • Reduced-motion support — animations respect the OS-level preference.
  • Dark mode support that respects user preference.
  • Status announcements via role="status" and aria-live for live updates.

The browser deck

Most sessions now present in the browser. We designed the deck for presenters who use a keyboard or clicker and for people who follow along with assistive technology.

  • Keyboard and clickers: Right Arrow, Page Down, or Space moves forward; Left Arrow or Page Up moves back; Home and End jump to the first and last slide; B or the full stop blanks the screen; F toggles full screen; G opens the roster grid; Esc closes overlays. Most USB clickers send these keys.
  • Screen-reader announcements: each slide change is announced, for example “Slide 4 of 18” followed by the slide title. Slides that are off screen are hidden from assistive technology.
  • Reduced motion: with the operating-system setting on, new slides appear without fading and the optional motion background stays off.
  • Contrast and size: both deck themes, Midnight and Aurora, are designed for AA contrast, with body text sized to read from the back of a room.
  • Visible focus in the projector and presenter-notes windows.
  • Other formats: presenters can print the deck or save it as a PDF, download PowerPoint, or save an offline copy for attendees who need the slides in advance or afterward.

Known issues

Sessions that present from Google Slides inherit Google's accessibility properties, which are outside our control. The browser deck and the static HTML backup deck are our accessible alternatives. Custom branding colors chosen by a presenter can lower contrast on the browser deck, so check your colors against the room display before you present.
