Hi skype users something is driving me nuts.  Every time I sign into my skype and every time I sign out to sign into the radio station skype treats me like a first time user.  Test your audio and test your video come up sometimes that tips and tricks popup comes on and other times verify your number comes up.  I can understand it if lets say you move from skype 7 to 8 which are very different but every single time test your audio test your video the tips and tricks every so often and that verify your number.  It is very annoying especially when I sign into the radio skype to prep for a show.  It there some kind of a setting that will tell skype to stop this.  It’s not like I’m a newbie Huh?

I announced this on Twitter recently and forgot to announce it here...

I have prepared a set of JAWS scripts for Skype 8 (Electron) for which I need some testing done on other computers out there. The script update fixes the announcement of dates in Skype chats, which should work fine everywhere
in English and hopefully in other languages. There is another feature though that is why I am requesting testing help:

The beta scripts try to adapt their own loading method based on your JAWS version, so that the scripts work identically for all supported JAWS versions. This peculiar bit of coding is required because of changes between JAWS
versions in how scripts are loaded for Electron apps.

So, I need to know the following from whoever out there is willing to report back:

* Do the scripts work reliably under each of JAWS 17, 18, 2018, and 2019?

Of course, I figure each tester will test only one or two JAWS versions; I'm just hoping to get results for each version overall.

Note that you may, on first running these scripts, hear an alert message and may be asked to restart JAWS once. This is because JAWS sometimes fails to detect changes to a file that governs how scripts are loaded
(ConfigNames.ini, for those techies out there who care) until the next JAWS restart.

If you need to retreat to the main release, you can always run the official installer found from https://www.dlee.org/skype/electron/ to reinstall the official script version.

The direct link to the beta scripts is https://www.dlee.org/skype/electron/jfw_skypeelectron119beta.exe

Hi all.

Just a quick heads up:

You'll all probably get a notification to update your version of skype
to 8.49.0.49, and, of course, skype will automatically restart itself.

When I took the update, I couldn't make or receive calls.

A complete system restart solved the problem.

Just stay sharp.

Hi list use skype both on my own and our radio station.  Got an update automatically last week I think when I started skype to sign into our station. No issues on this end I do from time to time at the beginning of my shows demo that the phone number connected to the station’s skype works by dialing it myself on my cell and it does work I just let listeners hear the skype ringtone. I’m assuming that is the same version of skype we’re talking about here.  So it might be on that end. Will see what happens tonight at about 9:00 eastern before my next show.  But am pretty sure that update was maybe a week or so ago.

Dear friend, after updating to windows 1903, I have installed Skype Electron and tried to do the necessary settings.

The matter of fact is that I have two speakers one is my system’s built in speaker and the other is my external speaker.

I wanted Skype ring come  from my external speaker but no matter which device I check, the Skype ring comes from my built in system speaker until I disabled that device.

I just would like to ask you people that is there any way that both the devices are enabled and the ring come from my external speaker?

I sincerely hope that my question will be answered as soon as possible.
