hey, NVDA upgraded python version and binary dependencies need to be recompiled. I'll try to look into this in the coming weeks. did not upgrade my NVDA version yet myself

[MuhammadGagah]

Hi, have you made any improvements to this add-on? I don't have the knowledge to fix it.

I will upvote this. I went to use it and it shows as not compatible with nvda 2024. I really need this as I dont' want to launch the can you see me app.
