I previously used Figma and Figma Slides as a great collaborative tool for my public university’s design courses. However, we are required by law to make our classroom content and slides accessible. Without features like alt text, reading order, etc. I cannot use Figma slides in my classrooms until an update is made.
I suggest that accessibility be standard across all Figma software. Whether you are using design, slides, or any other current/future pieces of Figma regardless of what you are creating in. Furthermore, if Figma could export accessible PDFs, it would really aide in designer’s ability to make accessible design more simple to produce. This would not only promote accessibility in your software, but also make it useable in more spaces where accessibility is required.
