[NFBP-Talk] Exhibit hall is using Zoom for booths & how to suppress Zoom alerts

[Senk, Mark J. (CDC/NIOSH/NPPTL/RB)]

I visited the Exhibit hall and listed the companies by name. Try the Google link. You will see a number of links and a Zoom link for Google.

It’s a Zoom meeting that is the equivalent of a booth. They will welcome you and answer questions. You can hang around and listen to other questions or leave the meeting and explore other sites.
Some only list the email and phone numbers for the companies. Some have a link to their website.

Here’s a tip for JFW users who use Zoom.  When there are hundreds of people in a meeting, You hear alerts telling you that
“Joe has joined the meeting” and “Linda  has left the meeting”

You can suppress these alerts with  alt + windows + S

I do not know how to do that with other screen readers.

Another way is to stop JFW speech using JFW key + space and then S

Repeat that to turn speech back on.
