Building accessible applications in .NET MAUI

Accessibility is not just a feature—it's a fundamental part of building modern applications. By designing with accessibility in mind, developers can create experiences that are usable by everyone, including people with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive disabilities. The good news is that .NET MAUI provides powerful tools and capabilities to help developers build inclusive applications across multiple platforms. In this session, we'll explore how to build accessible applications using .NET MAUI and learn practical techniques for creating user experiences that work for all users. You'll discover how accessibility features such as screen readers, semantic properties, keyboard navigation, color contrast, scalable text, and assistive technologies can be integrated into your applications from the start. Through real-world examples and demonstrations, we'll cover accessibility best practices, common pitfalls to avoid, and platform-specific considerations across Windows, Android, iOS, and macOS. You'll leave with actionable guidance for designing, developing, and testing applications that meet accessibility standards while delivering a better experience for everyone. Whether you are a .NET developer, mobile developer, UI/UX designer, software architect, or technical leader, this session will help you build more inclusive, user-friendly, and compliant applications with .NET MAUI. 🔔 Subscribe to the channel and click the bell icon to stay notified about upcoming Microsoft Zero to Hero sessions, expert talks, and hands-on learning content.
