that is my assumtion, as I said a day or so ago, it's something I
have yet to test.

Ah, so if you hit windows v to get to that notification you can
either hit space on accept or just ignore it, if I remember my
windows 10 keystrokes right eh?
Take care
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 worse
and worse.
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.

Hi

don’t have a 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?
