Request for Guidance on Implementing Accessibility Toolbar for School Website
R I
Dear Gamma Support Team,
I am developing an official website for our school (Școala Gimnazială Nr. 22 "I.C. Brătianu", Constanța) using Gamma.app, published at https://sc22icbratianu-constanta.eu/. As part of our commitment to digital accessibility and legal compliance for educational institutions in the EU, we would like to implement an accessibility toolbar similar to the one shown in the attached screenshot (WCAG compliance). This toolbar would provide features such as text size/spacing adjustment, color inversion, link underlining, cursor enlargement, and text-to-speech/speech-to-text functionalities to support users with various disabilities.
After exploring Gamma’s help center and settings, it appears that there is no direct way to inject custom HTML/JavaScript or embed third-party accessibility widgets across the site. Could you please advise if there is a recommended workflow, feature request process, or upcoming roadmap support for such advanced accessibility integration within Gamma? Are there any current alternatives, such as approved embed solutions or workarounds that you could suggest for deploying an accessibility menu button or widget site-wide? If not, would Gamma consider enabling code embedding for educational institutions seeking to meet accessibility standards?
Thank you for your guidance and support. We are eager to provide an inclusive experience for all visitors and look forward to your recommendations or alternative solutions.

Please Add Accessibility Features to Gamma
Sandy Kendell
I work for a public college and everything we post in our LMS or on our websites must meet WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standards by April 2026. Gammas do not meet these standards in their native format, and when they are exported to PowerPoint or Google Slides, there is no alt text on pictures or graphics and the slide titles export into regular text boxes, not title placeholders. Please add Accessibility features to Gamma as I enjoy using the program but the amount of work I must do to make exported slide decks accessible makes using Gamma not worthwhile for my work. I am a paid subscriber but will not renew my subscription if accessibility features are not added.

Thanks Sandy. On our radar. Doing my best to get this prioritized!

Accessibility Requirement – Unable to Use Gamma Landing Page or Train Teachers
WonderMe סדנאות
Hi,
I paid a professional to set up a landing page for me in Gamma, which now appears under “Projects” shared with me. But I cannot really use it because there is no accessibility menu or equivalent solution.
This is not only preventing me from using the page myself but also from teaching the teachers I work with how to use Gamma, since accessibility is mandatory in my field.
On other platforms (like Base 44) it’s very simple – just inserting a code snippet adds an accessibility menu. Can Gamma provide something similar?
Thanks,
Dana

I like the idea, but this is still inaccessible for people with low literacy.

As a teacher for special needs students this does not allow you to request edits or alter the text to make it accessible for ESL students or for those with language deprivation or low cognition. I still needed to heavily modify the text on each slide. Adding this feature would allow all types of teachers to create resources for their stdudents.

Hey Joanne,
I don't have a ton of context on what accessibility means in this context. Could you give examples of the kinds of modifications you're making or the problems we could solve on our end?

PDF Tags for Accessibility
David Williamson, PhD
My university will soon require accessibility in PDF slide exports, specifically tagging. The Canvas Accessibility score is now 5%. Here is its feedback:
Why use tagged PDFs
Essential for students with visual impairments
Tagged PDF files enable screen readers to determine a logical order and structure. Without tags, PDF files are just a bag of unstructured words.
Easier navigation
The structural information in a tagged PDF allows for automatic generation of a table of contents. This facilitates navigation for all students, especially for long documents.
Adapts to screen size
A tagged PDF will reflow the content to best fit your device. Without tags, students will be required to do more zooming and scrolling.

hi David Williamson, PhD thanks for the feedback. Super helpful
One note: currently gammas are mobile responsive, and will reflow to fit the screen size, especially if you use the 'fluid' height setting in page setup

Presentation & Website Accessibility
Anette Smith
Accessibility is critical these days. it would be great if the Gamma tool could either build presenations and website that are accessible according to the US Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) or the EU European Accessibility Act (EAA).
