On hearing this morning that Skype 8.64, apparently in beta, also exhibits this issue, I filed the following comment for Microsoft via the "Report a Problem" item in the Skype Help menu; and I invite others to remark

similarly from their own Skype instances, so that Microsoft hears a chorus of voices and not just one: Skype 8.63 and apparently the beta 8.64: After a call and after the Skype window is minimized, focusing it while running a screen reader such as JAWS does not work well. We hear "Chrome Legacy Window" and cannot navigate or read. Tapping Alt twice, or Alt then Esc, or Windows+Down then Windows+Up revives the Skype window for use. See also a similar problem that appeared and was fixed in Teams 1.3 within the last few months. This is a serious disruption for blind Skype users.

hi all apologies if this has been discussed but I don't see it. not only do I get the chrome legacy repeat message, even though i'm running IE,skype commands do not work at all until I press the alt key. all is well then for a while but if I don't use skype for several minutes I have to press the alt key again. -- Doug Lee dgl@... http://www.dlee.org Level Access doug.lee@... http://www.LevelAccess.com Time is the friend of one who is true, and the enemy of one who isn't.
