you misunderstand. on windows, skype puts up a tost notificaation
when a call comes in. it's only on the mac and on the iPhone and
iPad and iEverything else and android devices that the initial
call controls are popped up as a window.

Hi Sarah,
This is pretty bad news,
because we might be pressing space while we are typing
something else, and we might answer a call even if we don't
want to do this.
Even if space will be somehow
blocked by default in the window that appears and we would
need to use another hotkey which is not used very often, it
would be a little better, but still frustrating that the focus
was stolen by another application. It was even a software
design recommendation to not create applications that steal
the focus.
It would be also worse if we'll
need to press Insert+F11 and start searching in the list of
system tray applications or do many Alt+Tab to reach the Skype
window for beeing able to answer the call, because until we
would finish all these movements, the other party might stop
calling.
The new Skype version should be
an improvement, it should be better than the previous one, not
worse, because otherwise it would be a downgrade, not an
upgrade.
The new Skype might be acceptable
and enough accessible to use it, but from what I see, it is
worse than Skype Classic from almost all points of view.
And it is not the first program
made by Microsoft that follow this root.

Yes it does, it pops up right in your face all you do is hot
space, or vo space on answer. I hear for example incoming call
from student. I hit space and begin my class. To hang up I cmd
tab to skype and hit cmd shift h to hang up.
I have yet to test this, but, I suspect it will pop
up a tost notification. in the case of Mac, IOS and
Android, they pop up a window whereby you can click the
answer button.

OK. Thank you. Sounds

This is the big
disadvantage of Skype 8 I found until now.
What is the procedure
of answering a call if we hear that somebody is
calling?
Does a Skype window
pops-up and we need to switch to it, or we need to
press Insert+F11 and open Skype from system tray?
And, how can we find
who is calling, before answering the call?

No.
Is it possible in Skype 8 to
answer/end a call with a hotkey when the focus
is in another application, like in Skype
Classic?

answering the call is a
matter of tabbing to the button and pressing it.
ending a call you do by pressing ctrl+e. that,
is a Skype shortcut, not, a screenreader related
one, scripted or otherwise.

problem selecting a name in the contacts list.
However, when a in coming call comes in, how
do you answer it? And second off, How do you
end the call?
