- How do I use the screen reader with the Chat?
When in the Chat rooms, the display is continuously updated to show new messages exchanged between the chat participants. As this may cause some problems to the reading of the screen, it is recommended for users of screen readers to disable the automatic update of chat from myProfile page. When the 'Enable manual update in chat display' is selected from myProfile page a button labelled 'Update Chat' will appear on the chat. Every time you select this button the displayed contents of the chat will be cleared and the new messages will appear on the display.Top of the page
