Follow-me slideshow for Jitsi

Accessible Collabora Online slideshow plugin for videoconferencing

Sharing slide presentations during video calls today relies on screen-sharing a video stream: viewers see opaque pixels, are locked to the presenter's pace, and are limited by network bandwidth and codec quality, which makes the content inaccessible to screen readers and unsuitable for users who need extra time to understand each slide. This project will add a follow-me slideshow plugin to Jitsi that integrates Collabora Online, sending the slide content directly to each participant's browser instead of a video stream: attendees will get the slides at native resolution with locally rendered, GPU-accelerated transitions; screen readers will be able to reach the slide text for genuine accessibility; and viewers will be able to follow the presenter or go back and resume at their own speed, ending the all-or-nothing trade-off of today's video-based screen sharing.
