Default JAWS Scripts for Zoom Conferencing in JAWS 2021 July Update.
If you have our enhanced scripts for the Zoom Conferencing platform, you can stop reading now and get on with your day, because the following does not apply to you.
If on the other hand you are using Zoom with the default JAWS scripts within the July 2021 update, you may have noticed that some Zoom alerts are not being spoken. A typical alert may be that audio is unmuted or that you have raised your hand.
As of JAWS version 2022, this problem has been resolved. However, you can solve it yourself right now. Simply focus on Zoom and press Control+F5. That's all you have to do. The default behaviour in the JAWS 2021 update is for only alerts relating to chat messages to be spoken or sent to Braille, whereas you want all alerts to be announced. Pressing Control+F5 will allow this to happen. You will also if necessary find the setting in Quick Settings, activated with JAWS Key+V.
