[NAGDU] Zoom Alerts Quite annoying!

[Susan Jones]

This is the answer I received from Chris Nussbaum of Maryland:

2. As we enter larger and larger meetings throughout the week, screen
readers will inundate us with notifications of people joining or leaving a
meeting, among other alerts, unless we choose to temporarily mute our screen
readers. In the case of iOS, VoiceOver will also read any closed captioning
that is being provided, which can interfere with a participant's ability to
hear the meeting. To mute these alerts on iOS, turn VoiceOver's speech off
by doing a 3-finger double tap-that is, tap the screen twice with 3 fingers.
On Windows, if you are using JAWS, press JAWS key + space, then press s
after you hear the clicking sound. JAWS will say "speech on demand." You can
also download an add-on which will allow you to have further control over
the alerts you receive by visiting www.hartgen.org/zoom.

I use Jaws, and I sometimes turn off speech in Zoom.  Insert-space, then s.
It says "speech on demand", so I think you can ask it to say something, but
it doesn't automatically speak anything.
With NVDA, I use insert-s to change to speech off or speech beeps.

Hey ya'll,
How do I disable the alerts announcing who is entering and leaving?
Pam Allen gave it out on one fo the Presidential releases and I have
forgotten. If I have to listen to this constant chatter it won't be an
enjoyable convention experience! Thanks for any help in advance!
