Starting a week or 2 ago, my mac desktop app started announcing people joining / leaving the meeting. The same happens when someone starts screen sharing.

I am the host of the meetings, and I am using latest Mac desktop app (apple silicon).

I went to the accessibility settings and unchecked all screen reader alerts. Nothing was changed.

Any idea how to disable these alerts?

Hi,

There re only two source for these alerts that I know of;

Zoom screen reader alerts
Your Mac OS accessibility settings.

Did you check your accessibility options on your operating system?

Thanks for your reply.
I get this alerts only when using Zoom. This is clearly a zoom thing. It doesn't happen when I use Google Meet or Microsoft teams.

Welcome to the Zoom Community, @jadswizz. I'm sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. You can try logging in to your web browser, then under settings > meeting > toggle Sound notification when someone joins or leaves to off.
