  • Mobile operability: Usability and full display of content in portrait and landscape format; pointing actions and operability by device movement possible with conventional input methods.
  • Keyboard operability: Interactive elements can only be operated with a keyboard and are highlighted when focused on.
  • Voice control: Controls have an accessible label that corresponds exactly to the visual description/name.
  • Compatibility with user agents: User agents and assistive technologies are informed about changes in the state of the user interface as well as status messages.
  • Assistance with interactions: Interaction with forms; pointer entries can be cancelled or undone.
  • Consistency/predictability: Consistent navigation; context remains when focused in or during input.
  • Semantic structure: Content is labelled with structural elements such as headings, lists and labels that reflect the context of meaning.
  • Comprehensibility: Headings, form labels and link texts are understandable, correct language declaration is used.
  • Display flexibility: The presentation of the content can be adapted to the needs of the users: text size, control over animated elements and media.
  • Contrast and sensory characteristics: Adequate contrasts, no expressions such as ‘in the picture on the right’ or ‘click the red button’; information is not conveyed solely by colour.
  • Non-text content (graphics): Informative graphic elements have useful alternative texts.
  • Multimedia alternatives Multimedia content is compatible with at least one alternative sensory channel.

Key findings

The Android app from MS Teams, like the iOS version, looks very convincing overall. Keyboard operation in particular works smoothly and the keyboard focus is sufficiently visible. The labels for input fields and auto-fill are very well implemented too. The settings are easy to use with screen readers: there are headings and the roles of the elements are conveyed correctly. The flaws noted with iOS can also be seen with Android: in the settings you cannot use the keyboard to jump back to the parent category from sub-categories; users of technical aids do not receive any feedback when sending or receiving messages; interaction with the day selection in the calendar is only possible to a limited extent and adjusting the text size does not work properly.
