Accessibility mode

Heedify provides keyboard shortcuts for navigating the Agent Console and handling Microsoft Teams calls. These controls can be used with a screen reader; there is no separate accessibility-mode switch to enable.

Keep the Agent Console browser tab focused when using shortcuts. Select a contact before using a contact action. Search results and the selected contact are announced to screen readers without moving focus out of the search field.

The tables below list the default shortcuts. Your browser or screen reader may intercept some combinations. If a shortcut does not work, check for a conflicting command in those applications.
