Hey Bob. Yeah, I’ve noticed that behavior myself in the participant list. I use an NVDA add-on called Zoom enhancements which  mostly helps with Zoom notifications and sounds. I wonder if the author of this add-on would be able to make it possible to press some key combination and capture the participant list in whatever state it’s currently in. Then you could look through the list at your leisure without worrying about it changing. The only issue would be it would go out of date if somebody left or joined since your last capture.
