[Trainer-Talk] accessing links from Zoom chat

[Greg Aikens]

Hi there,
Recently, if I tab past the text box, I find each message in it's own item in the tab order. If you tab to the link and press Enter, this should work.

Subject: [Trainer-Talk] accessing links from Zoom chat

Hello all, when I am in a Zoom meeting and a web link is sent to the chat, people who do not use screen readers are able to click the link and go to the page it points to. Using either Jaws or NVDA I can't seem to find a way to do this. Does anyone have ideas other than saving the text, selecting the link, copying it, and then pasting it into the address bar?


Thanks.
