Re: Skype update
Chela Robles
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!

Re: Skype update
Chela Robles
It’s just the HP default speakers of course I plugged my Bose speakers in the laptop so the blue yeti microphone is not a headset just to be clear. They’re having a hard time hearing me was that but they can hear me with the clear chat USB logitech headset and yet the sound still comes out of my speakers which are by default Hp Audio, something long I cannot remember. I had already set the microphone to blue yeti. So I don’t know what’s going on. I guess I’m just gonna have to keep testing it all out. And by the way it’s chela it is spelled C h e l a.

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? Mike

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... "Sometimes, Skype' accessibility information winds up owned by another window that is not part of Skype, which causes screen readers to become confused." Pressing alt twice is how to solve that problem with NVDA. Thanks, nick

Classic Skype Sounds
Jerry Pryde
Hi all.
Does anyone know if if it's possible to import sound settings from Classic Skype? That message sound in the newer version's leaves much wanting. Jerry.

Skype for Mac, a pair of possibly new hotkeys
Michele Barbi
Hi guys, I was checking out the release notes of Skype 8.64, and figured out that they renewed hotkeys. Appart from the change of hang-up command in Skype for Windows which I aleady mentioned, as in subject I figured out of some commands for Skype for Mac which I didn't know, so I am not sure they were recently added but I am pointing them out since I think they can be useful. If you want to test them, go ahead!
options+1: go to recent chats ctrl+shift+e: moves focus on the chat input box Bye! Barbuz -- Inviato da Thunderbird su Windows 10

Re: maybe someone on this list knows
Larry Gassman
Hi,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
If you have multiple sound cards, your settings in zoom may be pointing to the wrong sound card. This has happened many times to me, especially after a windows update when the sound cards get switched back to defaults, by windows and I am left with no speech. Also double check all mute buttons especially after windows updates. If you only have one sound card, then you can probably delete my message. Larry

Steve Gladstone
My Skype program works well, but when I join a Zoom meeting, I can be seen
and heard by the participants, but I cannot hear anything myself. Does anyone have a clue why I can't hear anyone while I'm attending a Zoom meeting? A little off-topic but I figure some on this list are Zoomers as well and this one has got me stumped. Any help is appreciated. Steve

Confirmed: I was in the Skype window, when a call came in. It said: Call from... Press contrul=shift=p to accept, control=f=h to reject.

The space bar only works if you're sitting on the End Call button. But, control shift h works perfectly.

Re: ending a call

Control l-E does not work in v-8.64. However, control shift l-H works and oddly enough, just hitting the spacebar also appears to end a call. Thx

Hello, Try Control+Shift+H. But isn't Control+Shift+H introduced in the beta/preview version of Skype, which is 8.65? I think Control+E still works in v8.64. Which version are you using? ______ На 15.9.2020 г. в 21:54, Steve Gladstone написа: What is the command for ending a call?

Re: ending a call
Michele Barbi
Hi all, I am now out of home once again untill saturday, september 19, 2020. I figured out though that they apparently released two builds of Skype 8.64 in a short period of time, but it’s since 10 days I am no longer using Skype for Windows. Apparently though, they changed the hotkey for ending a call, and I don’t understand why they did it. Thank you so much for telling me.
