We use Lync Meetings extensively, and have had an issue since Day 1. Overall the Live Meetings work well -- IF everyone involved is using the same screen resolution. However, if the presenter is using a smaller font (ie higher resolution) and one or more of the viewers has vision issues whereby that resolution is too small to read, we have not found a way for the individual viewer to adequately enlarge the content. The two buttons at the bottom right are helpful; however, they only magnify to the size of the original presenter's screen.  Question:  Is there a way to further magnify the Lync presentation or is this still an accessibility issue?  (Asking the presenter to change his/her screen resolution is not an acceptable solution.)  [Other competing products allow for customization on the viewer's part; however, it doesn't appear that Lync does.  Unless we're missing something.]

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi,

Base on my understanding, the only way so far is to click the Actual Size button to reach the size of the presenter's screen. There is no way naturally to set it on Lync side so far.

You may also post a case on MSDN forum, and more developing expert will help to verify if this can be achieved using Lync SDK. Thank you for your understanding.

Unfortunately, I'm not on the development side; I'm asking from the end-user's viewpoint.  Even if there were a programmatic fix or add-on, that would not be useful to the casual user unless it were corporately deployed. 

Without the ability for individual users to customize the magnification on-screen, many meetings are "inaccessible" to those with vision issues.  Hopefully this will be addressed by the Lync developers.

Thanks!
