Hi List,

 

I have a file I saved from an email and it describes how to speed up and slow down utube.

It says  I can move to different per centages of the video by pressing the number row keys from 0   through 9.

 

I know this used to work,  now pressing these number row keys while playing a utube video does absolutely nothing.

I tried this using both google chrome and firefox.

 

I am using current version of win 10 pro and n v d a.

 

Help, Please.

I don’t know the specific YouTube commands you mention but I do know that in order to access inbuilt keyboard commands on sites such as YouTube you have to shift NVDA out of the virtual buffer so that your keys interact directly with the site.

You can toggle this with NVDA plus spacebar.

This will then enable shortcut keys like K for play pause, J for rewind and L for fast forward  in YouTube will then work. Without using this toggle K will find next link for example.  Presumably your other keys may work then as well.

To toggle a return to  normal NVDA navigation, press NVDA and spacebar again.
