JAWS for Windows with Microsoft Teams Power Tip: Popping Out A Chat

Microsoft Teams has a feature just like many other chat applications where you can have a specific chat opened in a separate window.

1.) Move to Chat with CTRL+2.

2.) Open a chat from the lists of active chats by pressing ENTER.

3.) JAWS will say “Type a new message, editing edit“.

4.) Press SHIFT+TAB twice until you hear JAWS say “Pop Out Chat Button”.

5.) Press ENTER.

6.) A new window will open with the same name as the other Teams window.

7.) You can use ALT+TAB to move between the two windows.

Notes:

1.) It is recommended that you switch out of the same chat in the main Teams window to reduce confusion.

2.) ZoomText and Fusion users will have a easier time tracking in this view.

3.) You can close this window without closing Teams.

4.) The window will not be maximized and is not required.

The Power of JAWS!
