I just got a kind of notification from Skype
Classic announcing a birthday. I don't know if it is the same kind of
notification, however nothing happened after pressing Windows+V.
I think that answering a call is the most important
action in Skype, because unlike the call initialization, it should be done
fast.

it doesnt' exist in win7, you stil get the help balloons, and I believe
win+v accesses those aswell.

OK, sounds better. How can we access that tost notification? (Under Windows 7)
I mean, what hotkeys do we need to use to access it
and then accept the call?

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.

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
all, two questions. First off, I 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?
