Hi Octavian, I am using Windows 10 latest build, I tested your way of a double press of alt key and it works fine here as well, so it's not a matter of OS as I already thought.

I also found useful to press Alt key to open the menu, then immediately press Alt key again to close it.

The window is accessible again after that, and I can press Insert+Control+E to move the focus to the text field etc. But I still use Windows 7. --Octavian

Re: inability to use the alt key at first when launching skype

Hi Kimmie,
I recently reported it to the list, I think that Skype 8.69 broke the fix that Doug already made for this in the past. For the time beeing, when you hear this message press windows+up arrow, or if the window is already maximized, press before windows+down and then windows+up. I hope that there will be a new fix soon. Now that we're on topic, since you're using JAWS 2019, if it's lower than the august 2019 update, you should also install the scripts load manager which you can find at www.dlee.org/slman Bye!

I can't seem to find my contacts and it keeps saying Chrome Legacy Window and it just won't budge anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I removed the Dropbox folders for translation work when I switched to the XML approach for localization. I am using the Desktop version rather than the Store version now so I will get updates sooner, but I don't install
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
updates except via Skype itself or via the official website. I actually prefer to use "Check for Updates" in Skype itself because I figure an update is most likely stable when it can be found there.

Oops... I meant to point out that I've been using the Desktop Skype version instead of the Store version for a few weeks now, because it seemed to get updates sooner. But it still does not show this update.

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.

Re: [skype English] Updating the situation of my friend

hi michelle
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
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!

I am on that list and don't see SFB discussions though, in case that helps.
