Re: Skype 8.69, problem with the scripts
Michele Barbi
Allright, thanks for telling me. I actually saw the update through ninite.com and manually updated as always. Remember though that I use the one for Windows desktop, not from Micorosft store.

I have not seen an update to Skype 8.69 yet. I have seen a similar issue twice, both times when there was a call involved; so I think the issue I saw is not actually the same. I am still running Skype 8.68.

hi michelle

assuming skype is downloaded and in the list of programmes under the windows key, here is one way of adding a shortcut to the desktop. 1. press windows key and arrow down once to come out of the search box. first letter navigation doesn't work so arrow down to skype folder collapsed and hit spacebar. 2. arrow once to skype and open context menu with shift f10. 3. arrow down to more and then to file location and open this. 4 wait a second and jaws will say skype checked, then open the context menu again and press s. 5. jaws will say: windows can't create a shortcut here. do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead? steve

Re: #pole: should teams be included for discussion on this list?
I don't think we'd be duplicating the list per-say, it will just be another outlook for people to discuss skype/teams as they are kind of linked in a way. when I talk with sojmeone on skype and they use teams I can still talk, and send chats now. I've been doing this since maybe October of 2020. Blessings.

I personally use Skype for Windows desktop, so I don't have this problem since the desktop icon is already there. We could also uninstall this Skype and install the Windows desktop one, but we recently need to change Skype account so we're afraid it can lose the login data. Bye!

Re: [skype English] Updating the situation of my friend
Ok, try this.
follow the prompts afterwords. If you don't find skype in the start menu, hit shift f10 and click create shortcut, then say yes to the prompt, it will create the desktop shortcut for you. Works for me every single time I have to do this.

Hi guys, well I didn't imagine that applications key and shift+f10 could make any difference, I'll try this out but I sincerely doubt because I am no longer able to find it in my machine as well. I am afraid that's a matter of Windows 10 build.

Re: A pair of questions regarding Skype for Windows 10

Hey Mich, I think I can help in your case...
Since you have quite an old JAWS version, apart from the Skype scripts which you however should make sure are installed, you will need to install the scripts load manager as well. Point your browser at www.dlee.org/slman and download the installer. Bye! Barbuz -- Inviato da Thunderbird su Windows 10

We effectively did not restart JAWS, so that's possibly why the scripts were not recognized properly. I'll check it out by calling her in the next days and we'll see what happens, but considering I also installed the latest Windows updates which required a system restart, it's possible that now it works ok.
