hi

thanks for the input guys. i'm amazed that Microsoft haven't found
away for users of one of their products to protect themselves from
unwanted calls from complete strangers.

I doubt zoom users have the same issue!!!

Are you invisible? I think there used to be a setting to enable calls from other contacts only in this mode. If it is not invisuble, I forgot what it was.

Glad you got it working correctly. This new layout of Skype can be really tricky to figure out sometimes. Ever since Microsoft took charge of it, we never know what to expect when a new version comes out.

Hey Mike it’s Sheila. I just solved my problem. I had to uncheck the mute option so in other words when it says in the settings under audio to unmute on incoming calls, I had to check that box. It's fixed now. Yay! The only thing that missed lead me was the fact that when I did the audio test call with the Skype testing service I was able to hear my voice through the speakers of choice with the microphone of choice just fine I just was unaware of the box that I had to check for amusing myself on incoming calls. Glad I got that solved!

Hello Kela

I too use a yetti with skype. I don’t use windows 10, but I don’t think the version of windows is the problem. What do you have your speakers in skype set to?

There is something that I have noticed with Skype and I don’t know if it’s just me but I have the latest Skype and the latest jaws and obviously the latest jaws Scripps. A friend of mine was having a hard time hearing me last night when I wanted to choose my blue yeti microphone which was on and can only hear me through my USB logitech clear chat headset I made sure that my Blue yeti microphone was selected for Skype but for some reason, while it does work with zoom, it’s not playing very well with Skype right now and I’ve noticed this a couple times any thoughts would be appreciated very much thank you. I’m using windows 10 by the way.

Have her press the alt key twice. Per Doug Lee...

    Pressing alt twice is how to solve that problem with NVDA.

Hello, a friend of mine updated her skype on her desktop, sorry I should say it updated automatically. The problem is when the skype program is launched nothing is spoken. She is using NVDA screenreader. Can anyone please give me a solution to this problem.
