Hello, everyone.
I’m in the process of learning how to use Zoom with Jaws, and have a question that may seem elementary to some.
When in a Zoom meeting, Jaws lets me know as things are happening in the meeting, such as when new people join, who is raising their hand, etc..
This is great information to have; but I often don’t need it when attending or participating in a meeting, since I’m typically not the main meeting organizer.
I suppose I could mute my audio via Alt A, but then people won’t be able to hear me.
I also could turn Jaws off, but that seems a bit extreme.
Any suggestions for dealing with unwanted Jaws speech during a Zoom meeting would be appreciated.
I simply don’t want to distract other meeting attendees.
Thank you.

I remember having this problem, but I don’t recall how I overcame it. Tom has posted the method that ought to work, JAWS key+3 on the numpad. Since that doesn’t work for you, you might do a JAWS repair and a Microsoft Office repair. If you’re unfamiliar with either repair method, please re-post.

Greetings all can someone suggest how I might fix this problem. Instead of reading the number of messages jaws says connectivity to your server I think it has to do with how outlook is set up in terms of the folder view but not sure.

Tom all you have to do is hit alt WIN plus S. It’s a toggle. And you should have your audio muted always unless you raise your hand to speak.

Also, I thought that there were scripts, at least in the latest
version of Jaws to toggle whether to let you know these notifications or not, I don't get them, except in certain cases when the host wants me to unmute.

Re: What navigation key should I use for the any link key
Dean Martineau <topdot@...>
The tab key isn’t limited to links. It also takes you through some form controls. The Inee Linkee is very easy and responsive, especially if you set it up the way I have it where I don’t even have to take my hand off the home Road to use it.

Hi! My first post here I have dabbled with JAWS before in which it seems a long time ago. Most of that previous info is gone. I have been a NVDA user for the last while. I’m taking advantage of the free download of JAWS so I can learn a second screenreader. I found it a little frustrating that if I wanted to skip through just links I potentially had to use 2 different buttons. I’m talking about the unvisited and visited buttons. So I did some googling and yay! I came across info about the anylink option. I am thinking I am going to make the anylink key the K button and move the place marker key to the J button but, what should I do with the jump to line command which is J at the moment? It seems all the letter navigation keys are taken. I could be wrong about that though. I don’t have any plans on using the jump to line feature at the moment so burying it somewhere doesn’t bother me that much.

Re: Chrome commands question using Windows 10 and JAWS 2020
JM Casey
Hi.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
The back button should work the same in firefox and chrome. Use alt-left arrow if you are in the same window. Not positive but I think there is a way in preferences to force everything to open in the same window or tab. Maybe look around for that. Regarding Firefox, I was having a lot of problems with it this week. I don't know exactly what happened. It has two or three times now gone screwy before an update, which is very strange. Sometimes an update fixes the problem ... it did until recently, but yesterday I ended up refreshing the browser *again*, after having already done so before the update to no avail. Now firefox is good and snappy again using the latest update and an oldie JFW 2018. So maybe make sure you are up to date and, if you are still experiencing firefox flakiness, try a refresh -- you'll have to re-install your extensions though. The only one I had was uBlock origin -- jury's out on whether uBlock was actaully causing some of the issues I was having.

Re: Window coming up alongside UAC dialogue
JM Casey
Well, I wouldn’t. There are a few levels of uAC; I wouldn’t just say yes to whatever it asks, it’s good that it lets you know what programmes are attempting to do admin tasks and I’m certainly glad (after having disabled it for a time myself) that extra layer of security is there. User discretion is a good thing.
The 33% setting doesn’t seem to work with jAWS or nVDA in the sense that you can’t read what app is attempting to gain access. Weird. I have mine set to 66% (I think it is) and the difference isnt’ appreciable, and now I can read the uAC screen properly. Not sure about the “secure uap” window the OP mentions – have you tried a google search to see what this might be?

Why not just disable uac? It doesn't really do what it promises, and many people will just say yes to whatever they are asked anyway.

Hi, Sieghard. I did try using the Touch Cursor, but no matter what I did, I couldn’t Tab, SHIFT plus TAB or even answer with ALT plus Y until I turned on Narrator. So, this is a JAWS issue, and it has been going on since the first release of JAWS 2020.

Hi all, I’m running into an issue with jaws 2020 on Windows10 1909,x64. Every time a uac dialogue comes up, I’m not presented with the dialogue as normal. Rather, the window that comes up is something entitled $$$Secure UAP Background Window. Jaws seems to lag significantly, although I am able to alt+tab into the uac dialogue and then hit alt+y to accept. I’ve sent this to Vispero, but am just wondering if anyone on the list has any ideas about this? Cheers,
