for work I use a PC with Windows 11 and Jaws 2023. One of the apps I use is a soft phone. Every time a call comes through, Jaws announces the alert that the page is accessing my microphone. At one time I got rid of that, but I don’t remember how I did it. How do I turn off that alert without losing the alerts for teams?

JAWSKey+Space N will bring up Notifications History and there are options in the dialog to create filters. I do not know what version of JAWS this first appeared in, so you may need an update.

Insert plus and then F1 will bring up the FS companion AI and you can ask it a question. From my first time experience it's the most reliable knowledgeable and precise answer giving machine to any jaw stroke related questions or even questions about any other app and the corresponding Jawz key strokes.

I forgot about those layered commands. The command you suggested worked. It says something else now, but I can put up with that one.
