I agree with Hector about the PowerPoint Present Live option, but it doesn't have a conversation option. For example, if attendees have questions. The web-based (and Windows app) Microsoft Translator allowed for a conversation. Many teachers used it for discussions when they have students who speak another language. I used it when teaching Office skills to a class of students all new to America who spoke 5 different languages and they were able to interact for the first time. Teachers shouldn't have to use their mobile devices.

    And while it isn't maybe traditionally considered accessibility, we have several employees in my district who are Deaf/HoH and they would appreciate being able to participate in the discussion. Some prefer to type their response/question like they could do in Microsoft Translator.
