Signin alerts in Skype 8
|
Michele Barbi
Hello guys,
I was able to see the release notes for Skype 8.43, and I found out the following: Get notified when your friends are online: You'll now receive a pop-up notification when a contact goes from offline to Active. Learn how to manage your notifications. Now we'll see if screen readers will be able to announce such as event. Doug, are you planning to reimplement something similar to SkypeWatch? Bye! Barbuz

In Windows 10, there's a consistent framework for notifications that screenreaders just speak without scripting. If Skype 8 uses that, I expect there will be no need for SkypeWatch under Windows 10. I'm not sure how many people

out there are using Windows 7 or older by now? It's not out of the question for me to do a SkypeWatch-like thing for Skype 8; but I would probably do it as a separate set of scripts that you would download as its own product, rather than as part of the Skype 8 scripts; so that I could support more than just Skype 8 at the same time. However, I don't have an easy way to test Windows 7, and I doubt there is a lot of need for supporting older Windows versions by now. I'm partly writing this to see how wrong I am. :-)

Hey guys, I figured out it's working for me as well though I am
using NVDA, so effectibvely no SkypeWatch needed at least in Windows
10.
I have to correct you Matthew, I think the latest is 8.43. Anyway you go to Skype preferences which you can open by typing ctrl+comma, then you open notifications button. Bye! Barbuz

Hello Sarah, try to press cmd+comma in order to open Skype
preferences, then click on notifications button. You'll see a
checkbox which you can check in order to be notified when a user is
online.
Keep in mind though that you need to use Skype 8.43 or above in order to find it, with 8.42 it was'nt introduced yet. Bye! Barbuz
