dial-in-participants can't hear screenshared audio and audio of shared video-content

[Michael Kuhlmann]

Hi to the list,

currently, dial-in-participants can't hear audio, that is transmitted when screen is shared in latest BBB----version and earlier. In universities- and most other professional learning-environments, it obviously isn't a problem. But in non-educational organizations, like blind and visual-impaired communities, many people participate via dial-in, and presenters often show their content via screenshare in order to get best accessibility for all participants. I'm working as admin and teacher in Germany and would like to help german blind and visually impaired organizations switching from commercial solutions (Z) to BBB. But at the moment, they are hard to convince, because of the above mentioned problem. Fortunately, Anton opened an issue on github. So, please comment, if you also would benefit from this accessibility-enhancement: https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/issues/24225

I'm not a developer, that's why I can't help this way, solving the problem. But maybe you could point me to a work-around, if there is one, until this issue is addressed.

Thanks in advance and best wishes

Michael
