for Windows

 

Greetings to everyone:

 

In the latest version of Zoom, if you go to Settings and then Accessibility,
you will find a variety of settings now available to govern what gets spoken
by your screen reader (e.g., JAWS or NVDA) in the Zoom program. You can
check the alerts you want to hear and uncheck the ones you don't.

 

This procedure is much easier and is screen reader agnostic.

 

Cordially,

 

Curtis Chong
