Re: ending a call
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

I think you're asking about the same issue: The ChromeLegacyWindow announcement occurs when Skype has been minimized.

JAWS scripts for Skype updated to address the ChromeLegacyWindow issue
Doug Lee
I said I wouldn't, then I did...
Skype script revision 178 is posted at http://www.dlee.org/skype/ This update includes the same sort of automatic fix that I put in the scripts for Microsoft Teams a few months ago. When Skype decides to act evasive and throw the ChromeLegacyWindow announcement at you, the scripts should catch it, interrupt it, announce "Fixing window structure," and promptly fix the window to work normally. This should hold until Microsoft fixes Skype itself, as I expect they will just as they did for Teams. There are other minor updates in this revision, detailed as usual in the Revision History section of the above page. -- Doug Lee dgl@dlee.org http://www.dlee.org Level Access doug.lee@LevelAccess.com http://www.LevelAccess.com "I honestly believe it is better to know nothing than to know what ain't so." - Josh Billings, 1818-1885 (in "Solemn Thoughts")

Ah, "rumor" is what I called it because I only heard one report and not from a Skype author; no disrespect meant.

Re: problem with jaws 2020 and skype 8.63
Doug Lee
On hearing this morning that Skype 8.64, apparently in beta, also exhibits this issue, I filed the following comment for Microsoft via the "Report a Problem" item in the Skype Help menu; and I invite others to remark
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
similarly from their own Skype instances, so that Microsoft hears a chorus of voices and not just one: Skype 8.63 and apparently the beta 8.64: After a call and after the Skype window is minimized, focusing it while running a screen reader such as JAWS does not work well. We hear "Chrome Legacy Window" and cannot navigate or read. Tapping Alt twice, or Alt then Esc, or Windows+Down then Windows+Up revives the Skype window for use. See also a similar problem that appeared and was fixed in Teams 1.3 within the last few months. This is a serious disruption for blind Skype users.

Has anyone reported this to skype and the screen reader makers if at all possible. Where is the problem exactly, or is this the case of both?
