Hello,



I uploaded my first Youtube video two days ago. I experienced that when the
upload is in progress, or when Youtube wants to alert you that your video
hasn't been published yet, an alert message would continuously be spoken by
JAWS. I'm not sure about NVDA but that annoyed me much.



Now how do I turn off that feature? I tried to uncheck a setting about the
live region I found in the JAWS quick settings insert V, then I searched
live region. But it didn't change anything.



Cheers,

Joey

Unfortunately, it looks like nothing can be done at this time. I have reported this issue several times. But I've not seen any responses.

I wonder if you could use the Flexible web feature in JAWS to hide that element.

Wow that's possible, it's not doable with NVDA or others.
