# Accessibility declaration
This declaration on accessibility applies to the chat application Matrix/Element of the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences published at https://matrix.fbi.h-da.de.
As a public body within the meaning of the Barrier-free Web Sites Act (BfWebG), the Dresden University of Technology makes every effort to make its Web sites and mobile applications accessible without barriers in accordance with the provisions of the Barrier-free Web Sites Act (BfWebG) in conjunction with the Barrier-free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0).

## Non-accessible content
* The contrast on the login page is too low.
* The contrast on the chat application is too low, only basic features work when using a screen reader.
* The chat application is not always operable with the keyboard.
