[BlindTlk] Zoom screen sharing without screen reader interference?

[Raul A. Gallegos - NAGDU]

Hello Judy, this can easily be accomplished by using a wired ear bud or 
headphone connected to a USB sound card. The USB sound card can be 
purchased for about 7 dollars from most places. Basically, you connect 
the USB device to your computer and it becomes your primary sound card. 
Connect a headphone or ear bud to this sound card and then tell Jaws to 
use it. Next, choose your default sound output from the Windows settings 
so that the USB device is not the default. Now when you share a window 
like a Youtube video or document, it will be done by way of the computer 
sound system, and this way, your screen reader is kept separate. It 
sounds more complicated than what it is and I'm not doing this justice 
by explaining it the way I have, but it can work, and it works very 
nice. I do this all the time when playing our Presidential Releases to 
our Houston chapter meetings on Zoom. I also do this when sharing other 
audio from Youtube and other related audio and video.


I hope this helps.
