GoToWebinar is NOT compatible with screen readers. This is a really big issue for accessbility.
Hi WebinarIT welcome to the GoTo Community. Improved support is coming when we move GTW to the GoTo App. Attendees will be able to join in the Chrome browser and use screen readers similar to how GTM attendees can now. Thanks for your feedback, we will update the Community on further developments.

I suggest you seek assistance from your legal department and consult with a qualified accessibility specialist to fully understand what's involved here.
