Alt page up is the default keyboard shortcut to answer phone calls.
However, you need to enable hot keys in Skype options in order to use
it, as this isn't generally checked by default.

I guess that’s a solution, but that’s not exactly encouraging. You figure
for such an essential command, there would be a hotkey for it that would
work outside of the program itself. I mean it already existed in older
versions (alt plus pg-up).

I’m going to have to try tomorrow with it on my laptop. I haven’t updated
my
main desktop where I do nearly all of my calls so we’ll see.

Hi If i remember right when the call comes in it lands on i think it is the
accept button then press the enter key and start talking.

I am not sure if it was read out by nvda though.





I would have to get some one to give me a call to confirm again as i use
voip alot now.

Hello list,

So, I upgraded Skype for desktop on a laptop to try to get used to it
before
MS kills Skype classic in September. I came across some short cut keys
from:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12025/what-are-hotkeys-and-how-do-i-use-t
hem-in-skype

What I’m not finding is the hotkey to answer an incoming call. I can’t
believe that there isn’t one for such a basic function, but it’s not
listed
in the table. Start a call, hang up, mute, that’s all fine, but nothing for
answering a call. Am I missing something or is this really not included as
a
shortcut key?

Thanks,

Cristobal
