[NFBCS] Copying information from the Zoom Chat

Tue Sep 29 16:27:40 UTC 2020

Hello Tracy:

You have to be in a meeting that is actually running. Press Alt h to get to
the chat window. Then tab to the chat text list. This works both with JAWS
and NVDA, ensuring you have the latest versions of both plus the latest
update to Zoom.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Hi Louis.
When I tabbed, I got out of chat.  I tried down-arrowing instead, but that
went nowhere.  Not sure if that's an NVDA thing, or if it was a Zoom thing.

Hi Tracy,

I believe you may have to tab once or twice to reach the tab history list.

Is the chat info only available after the meeting is over?  Or does NVDA
work differently?  Yesterday, I was on a Zoom call, and someone mentioned
entering info in the chat.  Using NVDA, I did alt-h to open chat, but I
couldn't find anything in it at all.  Was it an NVDA thing, or was it
because the meeting hadn't finished yet?

Louis:

I have found that it is not possible to activate individual links sent
through a chat with Zoom. Nor is it possible to copy individual parts of the
chat. What I did try with JAWS was to focus on the chat text history and to
select all of the chat with CTRL+A. Copying the result into Notepad at least
gave me all of the text, which I could parse and isolate relevant portions
of the text.

If you hear the link spoken as a part of your Zoom session and you act
immediately, you can capture the link text through the JAWS speech history
function: INSERT+SPACE, H.

Other than these steps, I'm not sure how else this can be performed.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Folks,

If I want to activate a link in the Zoom chat, how do I select it and
activate it.  In the Hartgen scripts, for JAWS, windows + alt + m used to
copy it to the clip board.  That is not working for me now.

How would you activate a Zoom link in the chat using NVDA?

I do know you can save the Zoom chat information once the meeting is over.

Thanks.
