Re: Installing and running Skype Desktop Version 8.54

There is an issue in JAWS that sometimes requires a JAWS restart after a script installation before the scripts will load. I forgot about this when I wrote you earlier. The technical issue is that changes to ConfigNames.ini may
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
not be detected until JAWS restarts, and the script installer adds an entry to that file that is responsible for loading the scripts when you switch focus into Skype. Sorry I forgot to mention that one sooner, but glad things are working now.

Hi again, Doug. I uninstalled the scripts, reinstalled, restarted JAWS, and now it reports the revision number. Thank you.

This is because I am running JAWS 2020, and Doug Lee says that when I press INSERT plus Q, I should get a script revision number if Skype is in focus and the Skype scripts are installed correctly. Where can I download the correct (electron) version of Skype? Thank you.
