Jonathan: Would that turn on quicktime from anywhere? The problems isn’t really starting play but navigating from zoom to the video player. If quick time or whatever could be started from zoom that would make it possible to turn off voice over thereby eliminating the possibility of the system voice interfering with things. VLC is a bit easier to manage. For whatever reason, the hot keys in Quicktime have never worked correctly for me. Jean
