  Hi Chris.
  I would do what Gene suggested. Alternatively, you can turn on audio ducking so that VoiceOver will talk louder than Zoom. You can even use the 2 features in conjunction with each other if you feel that audio ducking makes VoiceOver's speech too loud. You can find this setting under Setts/Accessibility/VoiceOver/audio. Those are the best options I can think of. That said, someone may know of another solution I do not, as I am not a regular speech user. I wish my speech would never turn itself on actually. ☺️
  Perhaps it would be worth considering for the NFB-DB group to create a guide to Zoom for speech and braille users. There are a lot of resources out there, but they're not free or have a lot of information people may not need. 


  I hope this heps,
  Scott

       Hi, if you enable the voiceover volume option in the roter settings, then that option will be available and  then you can raise the volume for vo by turning the roter to the volume option and flicking up and down to get it adjusted for zoom, and then when you close zoom, I think it will go back to what it was outside of zoom.

        I think the voice over volume with zoom is a zoom issue. I have decent hearing through my cochlear implant and I noticed voice over is very low compared to the zoom volume.

          Yes my guide dog Frisco is doing good They gave  Frisco  a bath, cut his nails, they gave him a shot for his itching, they gave him his three month pill, and they check his ears and teeth for me, and he lost 2 pounds which is good. They told me Frisco is looking good. 


          Thank you for asking about my guide dog Frisco

            Yes it was difficult to use chat during the meeting. I had a hard time on my I Pad at the end to ask a question.  Overall it was a great meeting!

              Hi. Thanks for asking this question. Are you using VoiceOver with your iPhone or on a Mac computer?

                I like the convention however, I cant find how to control the volume of zoom to hear audio and be able to chat or to even here the chat. I could not here well enough to find raise my hand because the volume of vo was to low while the audio was way to high prevent me from hearing vo on the screen. So is there away to change this? Because I saw a lot of chat I could not have access to. Thanks Heather

                  Hi, all! How was day 3 of the convention for everyone?  I was grateful to be able to attend the deafblind division  meeting as well as the lawyers division. That is one positive of having the convention virtually for me (multiple devices, Braille displays, and sessions!) If you find that a session does not have captioning for whatever reason, please let me know. I have a list of volunteer captioners ready to help!
