I am hearing today that some people are being spontaneously upgraded from Skype 7 (Classic) to Skype 8 (Electron). I believe this is on Windows, but it would not surprise me if MacOS is also included.

I have different scripts for Skype For Business (SFB). Those are at https://www.dlee.org/sfb/

I am running the same JAWS, Skype, and script versions as you, and also under Windows 10. But which key combos are not working? I was not able to implement Alt+numbers in Skype 8 as I did in Skype 7 b

I have not written this feature for NVDA.

The more important number is the full Skype version number; but since I see no obvious cause for this situation, I'm trying to be as specific as I can about where it occurs. :-)

As you arrow past a divider, like "Today," JAWS should say the divider's text as you arrow down and the text with the word "leaving" before it as you arrow up. So, when you arrow down to the first mes

I haven't tried to add a contact from within a conference. As for incoming contact request notifications though: They show up simply as chat lines, and raise the new contact to the top of the Conversa

You do not have to install Chrome to use Skype 8 (Electron), because Skype 8 comes with its own instance of Chrome.

Yesterday I remarked that Freedom Scientific's built-in scripts for Skype 8 do not disable the virtual PC cursor. I was wrong, and my coworker and friend Roy caught the error; thanks for this. :-) In

In my long-considered opinion, Octavian, Sarah has been quite patient with you of late. You act like we condemn you for disagreement. No. We are tired of repetition. Beyond that, we believe in transla

I can't answer that question with authority because I haven't asked anyone for details. My guess, though, is that some people prefer a virtual cursor initially because everything can be seen that way

My scripts do, in fact, turn off the virtual PC cursor by default; you can turn it back on as you wish. Not everyone prefers this approach for Electron apps, I find; and the stock FS scripts for Skype

Aha! This I can work with - it means the mrw script is compiled with a JAWS version that produced a jsb that you can't use. That probably means that the mrw scripts don't work below JAWS 16 after all,

Can you let us know the actual message you get from mrw on your system?

Yes.

15.0 is the minimum version of JAWS that should be supported; so yes, they should work there. I probably never tested the mrw scripts under JAWS 15 though. Just as a gentle alert: I can no longer prac

I thought of suggesting that, and it will be useful to see if installing those and activating the workaround will help; but I don't yet know how likely that is to succeed. I'm working on professional

I have so far not heard of any problem like this elsewhere; we'll see if anyone else chimes into this discussion. I have not had Skype 7 on Windows for many months by now, so any scripting work I do f

If the message you are getting is specifically, "These scripts do not support this Skype version," let me know what operations result in this message. There are ten points in the code that can cause t

Not sure what you're referring to there. My scripts, for all three Skypes, have never had a restriction as to whether you run them on a 32-bit or a 64-bit machine. Scripts in general don't. Many years
