This issue is fixed for me with Zoom Version: 5.4.6 (59296.1207). Just tested it in a meeting with 179 users online and scrolling through the list worked as supposed, no matter if Zoom was maximized or not.

After the participants panel is opened, NVDA will read all the names that appear on the screen when arrowing down. So, there will be more names that appear if the panel is maximise. For instance, I have participant 1 to 12 appearing on the screen and NVDA will read all of them when I arrow down. When I reach participant 12, and arrow down once more, NVDA will go silent. It will not read participant 13. I am using windows 8.1, latest version of NVDA, Zoom and Zoom Enhancement add-on. This does not happen with JAWS. Thanks.

I don't know how your class is set up. In the zoom meetings I have participated in, members can see the list of participants.

Nope. I'm saying I probably cannot test this tomorrow as I'm not teaching the class, just taking taking it, and I don't think you can view the people
in the class unless you are host. I'm glad there is a work around though inc
in my zoom class I want to teach one day gets over 7 people..

I'll have to try this the next time I'm in my class of about 125 people. Or
not. I'm taking not teaching the class, so I don't think I'll be able to test the work around. Let me know before tomorrow, please.

I believe it was reported that my suggestion of using reade current line to
read the names works around the problem. That would be much more efficient than trying to make the parts of the list read unlessor until the problem is
solved. If you use NVDA and don't know how to read the current line conveniently when moving in a case like this, ask here. It can be done so conveniently that you won't mind the problem to any extent.

Unfortunately it doesn't help. I am having the exact same issue.

Hi
The link to the add on is found at https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/zoomEnhancements.en.html <https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/zoomEnhancements.en.html>
I am guessing if they have done a add on for it hopefully some of those problems will go away.

Is that with the zoom add on you still get that result or is it without it?

I am in a Zoom meeting right now, and can confirm that NVDA does not speak when arrowing down after six participants. Interestingly, if you go to the bottom of the list and use your up arrow, the same thing happens. I waited several seconds before pressing the arrow key again, and NVDA never spoke.

When testing a problem like this, it may be helpful to test for such things.
Assuming that something is or isn't happening may lead to an incorrect description of a problem.

Nor have I done much testing with this, as I'm usually trying to focus on the meeting I'm attending, but I do not expect my screen reader, no matter what it is, to suddenly be delayed by several seconds after arrowing down a half a dozen times with no problem whatsoever. I may have a meeting on Saturday, so I will play around with this if that meeting happens.

How long do you wait before deciding that nothing will be read? The meetings I attend generally don't have a lot of attendees. Generally something like eight or ten. If I down arrow a lot of times, speech is delayed, I didn't play with this much because I wanted to hear what was going on in the meeting, but it seemed to me that in perhaps ten seconds,
I
would hear something.
It might help those analyzing the problem if they knew if speech stops or
is
very delayed. I didn't do enough testing to know on my machine. I may when
I attend another meeting.

Hi
I tried the read current line or the read the current line of the navigation object and NVDA reads to me when I encounter the problem. This is just a work-around, how nice if a solution can be found for this. Thanks.

What happens if you down arrow and when speech stops, read the current line. You can also try reading the current line of the navigator object, in the desktop layout, numpad 8. I don't know the laptop layout. You may
not hear anything but if this combination allows you to hear the names as
you move, that may be a work around that is reasonable for now.

Hello Bob. Just curious, does SA have that problem? System Access I mean?

I have this issue too. What I've found to work is to hit your up arrow when you get to the point where it goes silent, then your down arrow again. That helps for a brief time, then you have to repeat that process again. I agree, kind of annoying. I'm also having two additional issues with NVDA not reading things properly in Zoom: 1. When typing anything in Zoom and you type something wrong, NVDA does not read what you backspace. It reads if you type things normally, but if
you try to review or correct an error, it will not read. 2. If you're in a meeting that initially isn't being recorded, then the host starts recording, NVDA does not read the alert that tells you that the meeting is now being recorded.

Hi all,
Wish to report the above problem when using NVDA in Zoom. IN a zoom meeting, if I wish to find out the list of participants, I will press alt + U to call out the participants panel. I will then arrow down the list. After severl down arrow, NVDA will stop speaking.
I am using the latest version of NVDA, Zoom enhancement app and Zoom. This problem has been there even with the older version of NVDA and Zoom. I am using Windows 8.1. I have tried the following with no avail:
1. Wit no apps
2. restart NVDA
3. Re-boot my computer.
Just wish to find out if any of you have similar problem and what can be done? Perhaps this can help to improve future version of NVDA.
I have also use JAWS and this has not been a problem. Thanks all.
