Re: [orca-list] Zoom: can't get some information and can't unmute myself

[Al Sten-Clanton <albert e sten_clanton verizon net>]

Thanks!� When I run your first xdg-mime command, I get back 
"Zoom.desktop".� I still get just that after first having run the second 
one you suggest and then rerunning the first.� That is, it does not 
include "zoom-client".� Does this mean I still have a problem?


Also, I did try both alt-a and alt-v for unmuting and turning on video.� 
As far as I know, neither worked.


Does it look like I missed something?


Thanks!


Al
