Hi,
Yes, I’m pretty sure that I did pay $9.99 CAD as well. They may have made it
available in the App Store now for easier visibility.

Did you pay for it? As the one in the App Store was $9.99 NZ. I tried doing a
google search in Safari but I get totally lost trying to use Safari so gave up.

Hi Julie,
If you can navigate to the Participants list, when you move through the list,
it should announce if a hand is up. If you are the host, then you can even put
their hand back down.

Hi,
Normally, that’s exactly what you need to do. I had this happen to me today
part way through a Zoom meeting though, and couldn’t figure out how to fix it.
I didn’t want to leave the meeting since I was the host, but will see if it
happens again and fiddle with it to learn a workaround.
I am not sure. There was an edit field and I typed. Then I VO right arrow and
the table was empty. There were no labels on it so I hoped I was in the
correct field. I’d love to know how you’d identify how you’d know that a hand
was raised. So how would you know if someone had unmuted you?

Hi All.
I was part of a zoom meeting earlier on and I found I could not send a chat to

field with vo left arrow, the chat was still there and
Assuming you are using VoiceOver, you can use VO + CMD + L to navigate by links.
VO + CMD + H will navigate by headings.
Add the SHIFT key to either to navigate in reverse direction.

Yeah, I agree. There should have been better information up front, and the

individuals in a given state could opt in, whether or not their state does.

This is just an API that Apple and Google have built. In order to use it, you
need an app. To the best of my knowledge, only three states have said they are

Hi,
If you go in to Settings, Privacy, you can see the COVID-19 setting. When
