Understanding Live Regions

Ugi Kutluoglu, Accessibility Lead Carbon Health

Live regions help us expose useful information, and notify users with minimal distraction. However, they are frequently misused in many modern Web applications. Ugi will talk about how to create live regions, how to debug them, and rules to make them truly accessible for all.
