[Job-Discussions] Virtual Desktops

[Rachel Becker]

Hi. I also have to use a virtual desktop for my new job. You will need
to work with your employer have NVDA installed on the virtual desktop.
Then once you are logged in to the virtual desktop you will have to go
to the start menu on your main computer by pressing control escape and
close NVDA. Otherwise you will get an echo when you type. I've noticed
that some commands don't work in my virtual desktop such as insert T
to hear the title of the window and insert f12 to check the time.
I just started using a virtual machine this week so hopefully there
are others out there with more experience who can provide additional
tips.
Rachel
