Moving to Microsoft 365 delivers significant productivity and capability benefits to workforces, and provides them with technology which can truly transform and modernise their ways of working. Hidden within the Microsoft 365 platform are a whole heap of features that provide accessibility benefits to individuals, yet many remain unaware of them. Coupled with this, Copilot for Microsoft 365 has also been shown to deliver significant accessibility and inclusion benefits.

During this session, I will explain what accessibility is, why Microsoft focus on accessibility as a priority, and why inclusion is so important for all of us. We will look at the different types of accessibility features that help with vision, hearing, mobility and neurological ie autism or dyslexia as an example. I'll also share some of the early findings of the accessibility benefits people have seen from Copilot.

I will then follow on with a practical demo of some of the accessibility features available in Microsoft 365 and Copilot for Microsoft 365 which will include:
- Features available across the Office apps.
- Edge browser and Microsoft Copilot accessibility features
- Teams and Stream
- Windows 11 including Copilot in Windows

This is not intended to be an exhaustive demonstration covering every feature in detail. Audience members will take away with them a practical understanding of key accessibility features within Microsoft 365, as well as the additional benefits that Copilot for Microsoft 365 can deliver. This will immediately allow them to create more inclusive and accessible content for their colleagues and customers, and also empower those with accessibility requirements to learn more about the wealth of tools available to them.

I will also share resources with audience members to help them learn more following the session.
