Re: JAWS and Zoom
Richard Turner
According to the Zoom Help Center, alt+f2 is the keyboard command to switch to Gallery View in a video meeting.
Page up or down apparently shows the previous or next 25 videos in gallery view, or something like that. Since I’m blind, I don’t bother with this.
You may need to reach out either to zoom support or FS.

(It is notable that while I have regretted not granting grace to others, I’ve never once regretted extending it.)" - Edward Herbert

Hi. I can answer a couple of your questions. First, you get to the participant list by pressing alt-U. You have to tab around until you get to the list of names; then you can arrow up and down. This is somewhat buggy. They claim they’re going to fix it so that every time you get into the participant list you’ll be put in the list of names by default, but they haven’t fixed it yet. To chat with a participant, you have to open the chat panel. You do this by pressing alt-H. That opens the chat panel. You then tab around until you find the names of participants and press enter on the name of the person you want to chat with. By default it’s set to send a chat to everyone. Hope this helps.

Dear Listers:
I am taking part in a class at church via Zoom. I know how to join a meeting and how to mute and unmute my microphone, but there are a few things I am having problems with. First, when you join a meeting, how do you get to the Gallery view using JAWS? Also, when I get to the list of participants JAWS won’t read the list whenever I arrow up and down. Also, I know there is a spot where it says, “Find a participant.” I assume you enter the person’s name and then the person’s name will show. But if you want to send a message to that participant, how do you do it? Whenever I find the “Find Participant,” link and enter the person’s name, when I tab again it just gives me the option to either clear the search or cancel. So what does this mean?

Re: Sound Card Question Windows 10

Hi Randy,

In Windows, ever since I can remember, the last sound device plugged into the computer becomes the default. Typically this refers to USB devices, When the last device is removed, the default sound device before that should return to the default position. Right now I can't tell you why Jaws is not co-operating. HTH, Rick

Re: Windows 10 question
And one should:
1. Never, ever think about turning off the Windows Update service. 2. Realize, that with regard to Feature Updates which change the Version of Windows 10 that's running, they are not fully automatic in any meaningful sense anymore. You will be presented with the option to Download and install in the Windows Update Pane of Update & Security Settings. Unless you activate that link, the feature update will not apply. (Or at least it will not apply while the version that's on your machine remains in support. It's well-nigh impossible that one would not have triggered the download and install of the next feature update long before whatever one is using goes out of support 18 months after its introduction.) -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

Not easily anymore: although you can pause updates for up to five weeks, you can't delay feature updates for up to a year from Settings (this used to be case with Version 1909/November 2019 Update, not anymore since Version 2004/May 2020 Update). Cheers, Joseph

It's up to 78.0.2, and it's real broke even on JAWS 2020. Doesn't work any better with NVDA or Narrator, so I'm not all-fired sure it's a JAWS problem.

Audigy Fx from Creative Labs off of Amazon for around $40. It is an internal card. To install in windows 10 you need to download the appropriate software from Creative Labs, the cd in the box does not work for windows 10. Randy Meyer

Today, I plugged in my camera for a Zoom meeting. Jaws stopped speaking through sound blaster and tried speaking through the speaker built in to my camera. It was too quiet to hear, but fortunately, narrator was loud enough to hear through the small camera speaker. I had to go to windows 10 sound settings and switch the focus back to the sound blaster card, and all audio came through fine. I still have the sound blaster card checked in Jaws, which should mean that all Jaws audio comes through it, even when a different audio output is selected in windows 10 settings. I would like to figure out how to make this work properly.

Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randy Meyer" <randymeyer@charter.net> To: <main@jfw.groups.io> Sent: Monday, July 13, 2020 8:41 PM Subject: Sound Card Question Windows 10 I am using latest Jaws 2020 and windows 10. I have my sound blaster card selected in Jaws, but when I go to sound settings in windows and change to a different sound card, I lose Jaws speech. I thought if I specifically selected the sound blaster card in Jaws, and not the windows default sound, Jaws would always speak through the sound blaster card, regardless of selection in windows 10 sound settings. I am trying to route Jaws to the sound blaster card and other sounds to the built in realtek sound card. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Also, when I plug in any new sound output device, such as a camera, windows 10 makes this the active sound output device, effectively turning off Jaws speech. Randy Meyer .

It is enabled by default. There is a way to find out, which will involve opening a list of Windows services and seeing if Windows Update service is active. But for everyday consumers, don't worry about automatic updates. Cheers, Joseph

According to Eric Damery and Glen Gordon in today's NFB meeting on JAWS, Mozilla is aware of this issue which was caused inadvertently by them in the Firefox 78.x update and it should be fixed when version 79 is released on the 28th of this month.

I'm thinking 78.0.2 is crashing less than 78.0.1 but still definitely not good! I'm using Chrome a lot more now, or else using Firefox with NVDA. I tried Jaws 2019 and 2020 and they both crash often with latest Firefox. On 7/12/2020 8:42 AM, Richard Turner wrote:
