[NFBCS] JAWS Can Be Heard During Zoom Meetings

[Dr Denise M Robinson]

It is two totally separate sounds. If you share computer sound everyone will hear Jaws or a screen reader. alt a or alt M you only turn off your speaking ability. So just do not share your computer sound Unless your sound settings on your computer are set up to always share. Which is another sound issue

I also realize now that I could have turned down Voiceover’s volume. That way other participants may still hear my speech, but it won’t be loud enough to hurt their ears. NVDA also has a speech volume that doesn’t affect other sounds. Does JAWS have this feature?
