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.

Re: ending a call using latest scripts
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.

Look at this as being a work in progress for all of us. Although we may not have the answer you are looking for, I’m sure that someone on the list who is using 8.25 with the scripts can and have the answer we all are looking for.

Thank you too. Does that mean that there is a longer answer that can be used as a workaround? :)

Re: ending a call using latest scripts
Octavian Rasnita
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?

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?

Skype 8.25
Josephine Hirsch
Hi all,
Thanks to Mr. Phoenix, he showed me to how check my voicemail on the new version of Skype. I guess that at the beginning, I wasn't able to do that part. Time went on, Doug Lee made it so accessible with JAWS and NVDA, I will give him 5* rating for making Skype version 8.25 more accessible for users who are currently either using NVDA or JAWS as their main screen reader, even though, not everyone have Windows 10 as their computer's OS, and basically people still have Windows 7 as their computer's OS. Thanks, Josephine

no, that won't make a difference as the interface is exactly the same. the operating system has little to do with the interface of an app.

just updated to skype

Hi list have been fiddling around with skype and it’s a bit different. How do I see my contacts list? Also what settings do I need to maybe tweak with version 8 can see all my past conversations but want to get to my contacts and resend requests. Is their any kind of an NVDA add on in the works? I actually like that I can finally shut down skype without the task manager or system tray. From the looks of it this skype seems to be a bit easier to manage. It’s just the matter of learning it. Learning the keystrokes and things like answering calls. I like what I’ve seen so far.

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? James

Re: ending a call using latest scripts

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.

Re: Quitting Skype 8
Shaun Oliver
I've found that object navigation with NVDA works fine, however with JAWS, you may need to use the JAWS cursor.

but, thanks for the tip with CTRL+Q

Ctrl+Q quits Skype 8 instantly. The systray menu that pops up does not take focus and does not indicate to screen readers which item is selected, according to my tests.
