Here are some ways in which Airmeet ensures accessibility for its users:

1. Captioning and transcription: Airmeet provides live closed captioning and automatic transcription services for all its events. This enables deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to follow along with the event and also helps non-native speakers understand the content more easily.
   
   
   
2. Screen reader support: Currently, the Airmeet platform supports native screen readers - Voice Over (MacOS) and Narrator (Windows). This allows visually impaired individuals to access the platform and participate in events.
   
   
3. Keyboard navigation: Airmeet can be fully navigated using a keyboard, which makes it accessible for individuals who are unable to use a mouse or trackpad.
   
   

Overall, Airmeet is committed to ensuring that its platform is accessible for all users, and is constantly working to improve its accessibility features.
