[NFBCS] JAWS Can Be Heard During Zoom Meetings

[Amanda Lacy]

I had a similar problem recently with Zoom on MacOS. I ended up turning off Voiceover for the duration of the meeting because it was talking loudly. I wasn’t wearing headphones, though. 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?
