Re: Are there some updated contacts for Skype dev team?
Already done. And there is now not a feedback utility for mac and skype as far as I can see. Someone emailed the disability desk for Microsoft and the rep I don't thin knew what skype was, in fact told them flat out that they don't have a disability support channel for said app. If this is true, this is indeed sad.

Re: Are there some updated contacts for Skype dev team?
Actually I'm still rocking it, I can still do everything I need to do, I even love the accessible messages that show up in the html view. The only thing I don't like now is that on least on mobile I'm missing notifications and they don't sync properly on skype for anything. They show up as read even though I never read them. Maybe with a skype update that will be fixed. I am though hoping we can use teams at my job as it will be a lot easier then I can see where things go.

Hi Sarah,
Here are 4 suggestions I found in the mailing list
archive (that were made when somebody else had problems with Skype
8:)
From: Sarah k Alawami
The point is, that we are seeing way too much talk and no action . Someone does not like something and they just complain instead of hitting windows f and submitting feedback on said app(s) Microsoft does in fact listen. I am an insider and have ben for about a year on 1 of their platforms and they do listen. They have fixed several bugs on skype for xbox and windows and mac. So, get that feedback in instead of just wishing for somethingn to happen. If you don't like it, there's the door, and you can uninstall skype off of your system, and find somethingn that is better such as facebook or zoom for that matter, but put your energy to constructive feedback stacks reports, diag logs etc. From: Sarah k Alawami
Then sit down, write your feedback to skype directly and not here. We have already heard it. If you you don't like it there is always zoom or the delete key. You tend to sound like a broken record and we are starting to not like it. You in this case and on this list are the minority as you are I hink the only one who is hating skype and its new ways. Either get used to it, get left behind, or leave. I'm speaking as a list member, not a mod. Sarah k Alawami wrote:
Actually all of them are advantages. I don't like when people, and I've heard this on twitter, not this list, say that skype 8 is inaccessible because it's too hard to use. Not enough people are giving this a chance in my humble opinion. I've ben sing it since prabably October off and on and it has come a long long way. It is faster than 7, easier than 7, and yeah, just works. From: Shaun Oliver
Whenever I see an email from you regarding Skype, it is a never ending litany of charges against it's ease of use, that it's worse than what you had, it's less accessible, it's less efficient, it's this, it's that, or it's the other. We've heard every single complaint you've raised before, and reitterating them here, is not going to change what currently is. If you feel that strongly about it, contact the MS Disability Access Desk and kindly present them with your arguments. --Octavian

Hi Sarah,
When other people complaint that they had a problem
with Skype 8, you didn't care and didn't like their messages, just because that
time Skype 8 was good enough for you, even if most people were using Skype for
Windows. You said:
"Actually I'm loving skype 8 for mac. It is accessible, fast, stable and very easy to use. I've already sent some video messages, files, media, taught my classes, chatted and more. Now if only they would allow the pins and list that I have on windows skype but maybe that will come up. Rocking and loving skype 8 for mac.". I guess that now you don't consider the negative
messages about Skype 8 as beeing something bad anymore, once that Skype 8 is
also bad for you.
The so call constructive solutions praised on this
mailing list were to contact MS customer care and not to say negative things
here
You said: "I love
love love love love windows 10. It is snappy and just works out of the box. I
can turn on narrator with windows control enter and set up my system. It just
plane rocks. I'm still learning windows 10 but microsoft has taken leaps and
bounds in terms of accessibility. I'm also a part of their insider program and I
also love that as well.".
My suggestion is to start using Windows 10 if you
say that you like it so much, and you will see how good is Skype 8 under this
OS.
PS. Sorry, but it was just a joke. Of course I
don't recommend you to use this bad app under this bad OS, at least for the
moment.
If a theatre is really bad made, then maybe even
the firemen don't have access to extinguish the fire, so it might be
abandoned.

Re: Are there some updated contacts for Skype dev team?
I have to use it for my job, so I still use it. and clients do not want to use another application and learn one. We want to make it as easy for our clients and skype sadly is it. Teams could be used, but that's only for work stuff. By the way my clients for some of them, they have never heard of skype. Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. .

Hi Lino, thanks for you recommendation, I'll try to verify how it works. Effectively I am now using desktop pc with Windows 10, but Sarah is also right, since we should have a way to report issues in Skype for other platforms. Bye! Barbuz -- Inviato da Thunderbird su Windows 10

Well hate to break it to you kids, but who uses Skype anymore
anyway? The other clients we can't talk about here are the winners
these days.

I guess the only thing you can try is the Feedback Hub in WIN 10.

Re: Are there some updated contacts for Skype dev team?
I really don't know of any, the forum changed several years ago and became an accessibility nightmare to use, Don't call the disability desk as they won't know what you are talking about in regard to skype.

Are there some updated contacts for Skype dev team?
Michele Barbi
Hi guys, I'd like to contact Skype support for a thing that I am
encountering because I think it's a bug, but anyway if you figured
out something feel free to answer. Basically, yesterday I manually
updated Skype to version 8.61 as soon as it went out, and I
figured out that hotkeys mostly don't work, such as alt+numbers
for going in to the various Skype parts, or ctrl+shift+p to start
an audio call. I only manage to go to the contacts tab with alt+2,
but then nothing works. So I'd like to contact Skype support and
wanted to know how should I do for it right now. Bye! Barbuz

Re: having trouble with search feature
Smiling?
Being a JAWS user, I just use the keystroke Control+Shift+S to open up the search field.
Type whatever it is that I am interested in searching for (which JAWS will tell you the number of results found) and then just tab down to the results which you then just arrow to each.

Hi skype users ken here. Last night was trying to search for someone by phone number and skype said One item found. A little baffling because I couldn’t see where it was. I kept going round and round with people, all, and other stuff but couldn’t find whether I tabbed or arrowed if there was a match to my search. I was trying it with our radio station and had the same problem I wanted to make sure I got the updated result and couldn’t tell one from the other. Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong.

Re: having trouble with search feature
Michele Barbi
Hi Ken, since some time I don't add people, so I don't know if with latest Skype 8.59 it begann a bit buggy... Anyway, I am afraid that when it gives only one result there's only a button which lets you invite your friends to use Skype, so chances are your friend did not make a Skype account using only his/her cellphone number, and/or he did not put the number in the profile.

Re: round and round I go on skype can anyone help
ken lawrence
I saw something that says hint but down arrowing didn’t seem to work let me try it again. The only place anything happens when I down arrow is select people, groups and messages. There’s nothing to even indicate that there is a find. I’m completely stumpped.

round and round I go on skype can anyone help
ken lawrence
Hi skype users ken here I’m trying to add the radio station skype to my contacts. I searched by email address it says one item found but I can’t see it I keep tabbing aound and keep running into mood message, start a conversation my profile select profile picture round and round and round I go. So where is the one item found. I just now tested to see if maybe I am stuck in focus mode on NVDA but apparently not. There is know new skype extention with NVDA since it updated so basicly I’m flying blind. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong. I can’t add with a skype name I get three different options and I ca’t tell which one is the updated skype account. Also for some reason skype won’t even recognize our new account it keeps saying no such thing. I have to log into our station skype with the email address. Anything I’m doing wrong?

a question regarding skype and teams
Some of my students have switched to teams due to company policy, their company not the one I work for. They are not aloud to use personal skype on their systems to make personal accounts, which puts me in an odd situation. I'm expected to stay in touch with these students, which I can via voice, (I have no idea how teams and skype can still talk via voice) but I cannot communicate with them via chat. They don't see any of my messages and I don't see any of theirs. So is there a way to make this work with those restrictions, that being:

Re: problems with version 8.59

Yes, Skype UWP is the one for Windows 10 from the Store; there are reports saying it'll go shortly but at the moment there's no clear evidence of this.
