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.

I don't know if this will help but did you try alt enter and then maximizing the window in the menu? also, and I don't think this will help but you never know, have you tried pressing the full screen button?

Hi Gene
Thanks for your suggestions. I have forgotten to mention that I have also tried maximising the window to no help. Does anyone else have any ideas? Thanks.

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,
Thanks for adding that into the problem of using NVDA with Zoom. I encountered those too.
To add on, NVDA will stop to read out any alert after a while, alerts can be from chat, participants joining, leaving, or muting or unmuting. Thanks.

Hi, the different alerts not picking up by NVDA also Occurs with JAWS.
One solution to hear chat alerts is to open up the chat panel with Alt + H. 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.

I'll have to investigate that. I don't use Zoom with System Access all that much, because most of the time I'm doing the recording, and System Access does not find the record button when tabbing through. I'm not sure what my friend uses when we talk on Zoom regularly, but I know her cue to start talking is me finishing setting my timer, meaning that System Access doesn't read the recording alert. I'll play around with that when I attend a large meeting next.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Okay, now that my meeting is over I can give more detail. In Zoom, open the participants panel, and hit your down arrow. It reads the first six participants normally, then does not read anymore, I waited a couple seconds before pressing the arrow key to make sure there was no delay. If you keep pressing down arrow and there are only about a dozen participants as there were in my meeting tonight, you will soon loop back to the top of the list, and NVDA exhibits the same behavior. If you press your up arrow once, then press down arrow again, NVDA reads both participants encountered, but pressing down arrow a second time gives silence. To give a clearer example, let's say there are 15 participants in a meeting, as there were in mine tonight. I opened the participant panel, and saw that my name was at the top. I pressed down arrow five times, landing on the sixth participant in the list with no problem. I press down arrow again to navigate to the seventh participant, NVDA does not say a word. I press up arrow once, NVDA reads the name of the sixth participant again. I then press down arrow again, and it reads the seventh participant as expected. I then press down arrow to move to the eighth participant, which NVDA does not read. If I continue to press down arrow, NVDA continues to be silent, until it loops back to the top of the list, where as mentioned above, it reads the first six participants. If however I press my up arrow here, it reads the previous five participants, then goes silent until it gets to the bottom of the list, where just like the down arrow at the top of the list, it reads the bottom six. Using your down arrow after the up arrow has gone silent also reads the next five. I hope this makes sense.

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.

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.

Hi
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.
