I would be content to stay muted and simply prace the spacebar when I
need to speak in many Zoom calls I participate on. Unfortunately, that
also triggers a flurry of speech from VO, so I first have to silence VO
before using the spacebar.

This is my top peeve with VO and Zoom. I wish it were possible to use
the spacebar without triggering all that speech into the teleconference.
<sigh>

Best,

Janina
