Re: Control plus P to answer a call
Kimmie
Me too, but I don’t think it’s like the old skype where it didn’t matter where you were you could answer skype. I’m getting fed up with this skype.

Okay cool! Glad someone came up with a fix.

Ok, here I am to integrate what others already said. First point is, the correct key is ctrl+shift+p with Skype for Windows for answering without video, but if you're a JAWS user try using this key sequence: insert+space, y, up arrow. That should even work globally. Bye! Barbuz -- Inviato da Thunderbird su Windows 10

Thanks Michelle. I couldn't figure out what the NVDA addon did exactly, so that's useful.

I do wish Microsoft would add shortcuts for moving directly between the history and message fields. I've asked them, but it never quite seems to materialise.

Re: Jaws losing focus with Skype for Business 2015 running
Francois Jacobs <Francois.Jacobs@...>
Hello Doug and all
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Thanks for your responses and yes, while Windows 8.1 is rather outdated, I'm new to the company and low in the pecking order without strategic contacts at this early stage, so I have no idea how to find out when they plan to roll out newer versions for either SFB or Windows. Even if that's planned for later in the year I will have lost my mind long before that lol. I tried the Do Not Disturb suggestion, but all it does is no longer playing a sound when a new message comes in. The Jaws focus still jumps to the message, sort of. Doug I'm wondering whether your scripts look for Jaws under a specific folder and my setup might simply be not what the scripts are expecting? If it's not too much trouble I'll take you up on the offer to generate an updated beta and I'm happy to try it out myself. I'm kinda desperate. Thanks, Francois

Jaws losing focus with Skype for Business 2015 running

Hi there
I’m new to this list, have no idea to do an archive list and can only hope this question hasn’t been addressed before.
I am required to be logged into an open team chat the whole work day as this is how our team members post questions and announcements. Every time a team member posts a message to the open chat my screen reader seems to focus on the message, i.e. away from what I’m currently doing. It drives me crazy and is very unproductive as you can imagine. The quickest way I have found to restore focus to my current application is by pressing the alt key twice, but surely there’s a solution? I have checked Skype settings, specifically checking that Always on Top wasn’t checked and it doesn’t make a difference.
I googled and found Doug Lee’s scripts for SFB and downloaded the version for SFB prior to SFB2016, hoping that might solve it. Unfortunately I suspect they’re not compatible with Jaws 2020, because in the installer the list is blank under the text that reads: “The following compatible versions of JAWS have been found on your system. All versions are currently selected for installation. Use Space to alter selections if necessary, then press Install to proceed.” I then activate Install anyway but the installer just closes.
The system configuration we’re using at work is determined at a corporate level, so I have no control over that. I’m using: Windows 8.1 pro Skype for Business version 2015 JAWS Version 2020.1912.11.400
