Hi Jim! I had the same issue, and was able to fix it. I did it by
going into the settings of Chrome, and then into my content settings.
I mads sure that flash content was allowed. You may want to toggle it
on and off just to make sure it works. I hope this helps you out!

David,
I have read through the tutorial and it is wonderful. However, my game
day audio remains. I can't get any game to play using game day audio on
chrome.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Jim

Subject: [JAWS-Users] An Updated Text Tutorial on Using the Google
Chrome Browser with JAWS or NVDA
Hi all,
I did an Updated text tutorial on using the Google Chrome browser. It
is pasted right here in this email, so you can read it, and give me
feedback.
On each line, I tell you what my computer says as I take you through
the Google Chrome menu, and I take you carefully through the settings web
page.
This is a lot like the Options page in Firefox, but it is easier to
navigate.
I hope this really helps you get started with Chrome, because it works
so well for me.
Here is the tutorial right below!
Tutorial for Using the Google Chrome Browser By David Moore This
tutorial will be done with the latest update of Chrome.
I will also use JAWS 18 and NVDA 2017.2for this tutorial, because they
both work the same in Chrome.
Finally, I will use Windows 10 Creators Update latest public build.
I will assume that you have downloaded and installed Chrome.
There should be a shortcut on your desktop.
First, I will launch Chrome. We will not create a home page until we
get to the Chrome settings web page.
This is a lot like the Options page in Firefox, or the Options dialog in
IE.
Pressing the Alt key, opens the one and only, Chrome menu, with many
choices that I will arrow down through.
The first very important step, is to press Windows+up arrow to
maximise the window. Chrome often opens with the window not maximise,
and you will get undesirable results.
I will press the Alt key.
The Chrome menu is open.
I will press insert+up arrow to hear the first option in this menu.
New Tab, CTRL+T.
You can press that command right from the web site you are on.
New Window, CTRL+N
You can press these commands right from your web page, instead of
coming here.
New incognito Window.
History sub menu.
I will press right arrow here to see what is in this sub menu!
History, CTRL+H
So, there is a key command for reading your history.
You can read a few sites you were on right here.
I will press left arrow to close this history sub menu.
Downloads, CTRL+J
There is the command for opening your downloads you have downloaded
with Chrome.
Next, the important Bookmarks sub menu.
I will press right arrow, to open this.
I hear, bookmark this page, CTRL+D
That command will bookmark the page you are reading.
Next down arrow, says show bookmarks bar, CTRL+Shift+B That command,
will show your bookmarks on your Chrome browser for all to see. I do
not want that.
Here is the important one.
manage bookmarks
The command is, CTRL+Shift+O
In here, you can organize your bookmarks into folders, see the
bookmarks you have imported from different browsers, and very
importantly, you can download, to your computer, an HTML file of all of
your bookmarks in Chrome.
On your computer, you can press enter on this file, after it
downloads, and a page will show up in Chrome with a list of all
bookmarks you have saved in Chrome. This is an awesome way to download
all of your bookmarks right to your computer, so you can back them up.
That is all for manage bookmarks.
Next, I hear import bookmarks and settings.
press enter on this, and you can import all bookmarks and settings
from IE, and Firefox, right into Google Chrome, and they will be in
their corresponding folders.
Now, I hear all of my saved bookmarks as I continue to arrow down.
Very important!
Sometimes, when I open that bookmarks sub menu, I do not land on the
choices I mension here, but instead, I start hearing my saved
bookmarks. If this happens, I press up arrow a few times, and it gets me
to these choices.
Keep in mind, that many of these choices, like bookmark manager, have
key commands, so you do not have to come to this bookmarks sub menu at
all. You only need to come here most of the time, to arrow through
your saved bookmarks, and enter on the desired one.
The next few are very self explanatory.
The next one I will mension, is the more tools submenu.
I will press right arrow on this.
I hear Save Page as, and the command, CTRL+S.
Next, Save to desktop.
This allows you to save the favorite of the page right to your
desktop. This is how you do this in Chrome, instead of doing this in the
file menu in IE.
It is hidden under this more tools submenu.
Clear Browsing data, and there is the key command, CTRL+Shift+Delete key.
Extentions, In here, you can add extentions, delete extentions and so on.
These are the same as add ons, in IE.
They are called Extensions in Chrome.
The last two that I will mention, are settings, and the help sub menu.
Now, we will press enter on settings, and a web like page will open
where the virtual cursor will turn on with JAWS, and NVDA will be in
mode.
First, on this page, there is an edit field to search for a setting to
change.
You can simply press enter to get into forms mode with JAWS or focus
mode with NVDA, and sign into Chrome with your email and password
associated with your Google Account.
This is very accessible now; a year ago, it was not.
Now, you can press enter on sync.
There is a combo box here, and I chose to sync everything that I
bookmark and my history in Chrome to all devices. I can get on another
computer, and all of my bookmarks are on that second computer, for
example. That is very powerful.
You can import bookmarks and settings here, just like you could under
the Bookmarks sub menu.
Now, we have a series of headings, that you can just press H for
heading, to get to.
Now, under the appearance heading, You first have themes, which I did
nothing with.
Next, you can open the Chrome web store. You can get hundreds of
extentions, and more.
Show Home, Here is where you can see what you set your home page to.
Now, there are two radio buttons, and I chose the one to enter with a
custom web address.
Now, go to the search engin heading.
This is a heading.
There are headings on this settings page.
I chose to use Google search engin in the address bar. This is a combo
box.
The next heading, is on start up.
Finally, here is where you set up your home page.
There are three radio buttons here.
I chose the third one, to open a selected page or selected pages.
Next, I was able to enter:
www.Google.Com.
That is my home page that will open each time I start Chrome.
Next, you get to the heading advanced settings.
You have to press enter on this, to open it up, because it is collapsed.
As soon as you press enter, you down arrow to:
Privacy and settings heading.
Each of these buttons, say clickable.
Here, press enter to check, or to uncheck.
When you press enter, you will hear JAWS go into forms mode and NVDA
go into focus mode, so just press enter again. So really, you press
enter twice to check, or enter twice to uncheck.
Next, there is:
Passwords and forms heading.
Press enter twice here on each clickable button to check or to uncheck.
Languages, I do nothing with that.
Downloads.
This is where you set where you want your downloads to go, and you can
set whether you want to be prompted each time you download something.
I definitely want the prompt.
I do nothing with the Printing or accessibility headings.
The System heading, you can turn on or off open proxy settings.
Lastly, there is the reset heading, with a button to enter on that
will reset Chrome back to its default settings.
That is it for settings.
Notice, we made a lot of changes under the advanced settings. You
cannot see these, unless you press enter to expand these.
Now, just press CTRL+F4 or CTRL+W to get out of this settings page,
and go back to Google Chrome. The settings page, opens in a new tab in
Chrome, that is why you can press CTRL+F4 or CTRL+W to get out of it.
Now, press the Alt key again. Up arrow once to get to the end of the
menu where we were with the settings.
You see exit, up arrow and you see the help sub menu, right under the
settings choice.
I press right arrow on this help sub menu, and you can enter on the
help center to get a lot of help using Chrome.
To open a web site, just press CTRL+L or Alt+D and type the URL.
Chrome for me, is so much quicker with web sites that involve
streamming TV and Watching movies, and so on.
For me, Chrome opens large news sites very quickly compared to IE.
Lastly, All JAWS and NVDA navigation key commands work in Chrome. For
example, you can press F7 to open a list of links with JAWS, and the
elements list with NVDA. All of that is the exact same.
This is the end of the tutorial.
