Zoom accessibility statement

Welcome, this is an accessibility description issued by the Tampere Universities community

This accessibility statement applies to the service https://tuni.fi/zoom and has been prepared/updated on March 25, 2025. The service is governed by the Act on the Provision of Digital Services, which requires that the digital services of public authorities must be accessible. Our TUNI Zoom service (Funet Miitt) is implemented as a service provided by CSC through NORDUnet.

The accessibility statement is based on the accessibility statement made by CSC and the assessment of Tampere University. CSC's accessibility statement for NORDUnet's Zoom service video CSC - Zoom Accessibility. According to CSC's accessibility statement Zoom website and the video conferencing application are fully compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard. 

In the Tampere University Community's Zoom service, cloud recording is available to staff and it is integrated to Panopto video platform, our accessibility statement differs from CSC's accessibility statement in this regard.

The Zoom service largely meets accessibility requirements.

Zoom supports keyboard shortcuts. You can view and edit keyboard shortcuts in the Zoom application through the menu that opens from the profile picture -> Settings -> Keyboard shortcuts. Zoom also has an accessibility page, which provides additional information.
