Accessible World has adopted a passcode for all its Zoom meetings and has
turned off the waiting room. This passcode is the same for all of its
meetings and is the three letters a w z without spaces. Those dialing in
with a regular telephone will not be required to enter the passcode. The
meeting ID for each Accessible World Zoom meeting remains unchanged. The new
Pat Price Tek Talk Training Room Zoom meeting link follows and executing it
from your computer or device running the Zoom Cloud Meetings app should take
you right into the meeting with no further action required other than
waiting for the host to start the meeting:

discuss the topic: "The History of Eyes on Success." November 2, 2020
Newswire
Join us on November 2nd, 2020, as we welcome Peter and Nancy Torpey, who
host and produce the fine assistive technology podcast, "Eyes On Success".
Their radio show/podcast started in January of 2011 and was originally
called Viewpoints. When they found out that another radio program (about
politics) had trademarked that name, they changed the name to Eyes On
Success. The show covers a wide variety of topics of interest to the
visually impaired including new access technologies, stories of blind people
with interesting and rewarding professional careers and pastimes, tips for
daily living, and much more.
