You need to play with audio and volume output settings for individual
programs in your control panel. My skype works so that JAWS is coming
through my headphones and Skype and all other voices come through my
speakers. I like it because my JAWS doesn't distract from what I am doing on
Skype. I do on-line teaching  using Skype and the students I work with have
JAWS and their Skype coming through their speakers so I can hear them and
what they are doing, but they don't hear my JAWS.

I've had the same issue for years, and would also appreciate any tips on
this matter.

Hello,

 

I have a question regarding using Skype, a screen reader, and a third party
such as YouTube or an audio file.

 

I was working with someone via Skype on something, and he allowed me to hear
something he'd been working on which was actually a YouTube video.  I could
hear both the YouTube video and his voice coming from his computer.

 

Am I able to do that, even if I have a screen reader such as JAWS?  If so,
how would I go about doing it?

I tried testing it out with my friend by going to YouTube and playing a
video, but what he heard was barely audible, except for what I was saying,
which was fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Jim
