Re: Zoom Meetings

I wonder if it does depend on version the last time I used Xoom on my Mac with AirPods people could still here the speech - if I muted my audio when not speaking that stopped the problem I have recently updated zoom again and haven’t asked people about VO but will do in my next zoom meeting

Tim and all, Thanks for the feedback. Likely I will use the iPhone, and see how it goes. Can the chat notifications be disabled completely in settings? Then check for new chats manually? I may not get to testing for a while as I need to resolve a headache first. At least I now have a Zo

Re: Zoom Meetings

Agree with Simon. The Zoom interface is less cluttered on an iPhone than on a Mac. It’s just holding the phone so that the camera is properly pointing that gets a bit tiresome. Nicer if you can have the phone propped in a way to leave your hands free. Dave Carlson dgcarlson0...@gmail.com --

But on the Mac with voice over on and you are in a meeting the speech doesn’t stop yapping. The only way I can get it to stop is to put Voice over in the chat panel menu. Last night I was in a meeting and I tried sending messages to everyone, but the message kept going to individuals in the me

Hi, It depends on how you define better. The Mac app has more features and whether or not you need or want those features depends on what you are doing with Zoom. Both the iOS and Mac apps are fully accessible with VoiceOver. Robert Carter > On Jun 9, 2020, at 7:55 PM, 'E.T.' via MacVisionar
