Hey Tali and all, I figured out that there is an hotfix for Skype for Windows desktop 8.83 ending with number 409, I cannot guarantee it can fix your issue but it's worth a try. If you don't see the u

I agree with Doug, sounds more like a technical/connection issue, not accessibility. I had a problem yesterday where I did not see many contacts and I needed to close Skype and restart it. Don't know

Guys I didn't notice this issue when using Skype, though I did in other applications. Bye! Barbuz

Guys yeah I noticed this JAWS cursor issue too when I had that issue of reading conversations, but only when there was a call actually on. Bye! Barbuz

Forgot to mention, I am using Split view mode as well. I am still with JAWS 2021, for the moment I don't think I can upgrade to 2022. Bye! Barbuz
