The OP mentioned a tutoring use case. If you're going to sell this to educational institutions or companies that serve them, at least in the US, then accessibility is important.

I see. Sorry! I got excited and went in founder mode — for a moment I thought you had a problem we could solve for you :)
Thank you for stressing the importance of accessibility. We're really impressed with the quality of the questions so far.
> Have you considered the accessibility ramifications of this, e.g. for blind people using screen readers?
We are considering the accessibility ramifications now since we've pivoted toward a general API. We didn't focus on accessibility for blind people initially because we were building a watch party platform.
I think offering accessibility features would give us a massive edge against technologies like screenshare! Is there a specific use-case you're thinking of?
