Gillian,
Sorry to hear that you have been having trouble connecting. Please give me or
Declan a ring if you need technical support at any time, even after hours!
We have very few members using ZoomText but I hope you get a response to sort
out this difficulty. Looking at reports on the web, I can find no reference to
ZoomText having problems with embedded links. I assume this has something to do
with an image embedded in the link that ZoomText cannot resolve.
Would you consider downloading an installing NVDA? It's a free screen reader
and very effective. This will run while you have ZoomText running but will
access the HTML aspects of any links you are dealing with. This might get the
video link open so that ZoomText can take over again in the way that is
familiar to you. You can start-up NVDA and drop it off at any time to enable
this kind of activity.
If I can help, please give me a ring at any of the numbers below.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Hi All
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the good weather. I have been having issues
with broadband and zoom the last few weeks so I haven’t been able to be
online for the technology club. I finally got sorted today so I will attend
from next week.
Just wondering if anyone has any advice how to use zoomtext with a video link.
I have been sent two links to watch videos for an assignment for college but it
can’t find the link as it says it is embedded.
Thanks
Gillian

Several people had trouble in logging onto the Zoom meeting this
morning, they were asked to update to version 5, and when they
updated the app, they were allowed into the meeting.
Dominique said that she is having trouble in filling up a monkey
survey form for the Guide Dogs, she filled in everything and was on
question 10, when she was suddenly pushed back to question 6.
She has informed the Guide dogs, and they will look into the problem.
It was suggested that she try filling up the form using NVDA, instead
of Jaws.
Michael Brown has trouble in using the Tesco website and also the app
on his phone, Jackie reported that the website can be tricky, but she
has no trouble in using the Tesco app.
Eamonn wanted to be refreshed on that app to download audio content
from U Tube, Bert, says that he needs to use Pontes media downloader.
