Latest Skype and screen readers
Inam Uddin
Respected friends, today I’m very sorry to let you know that with the latest NVDA I cannot use Skype. The matter of fact is that I’m using Skype 8.63. As I go to desktop and focus to Skype, it says nothing other than Skype. With JAWS it is continuously saying Chrome Legacy Windows, but with narrator it is working fine. Please do something it is a serious issue! With regards from Inamuddin with the Skype ID: Charlsdarwin1

I don’t use skype here, but am on a tech team group. They were talking about skype last evening. try pressing the alt key to get to the menu and then pressing escape and see if that helps. They think it is a focus issue. Try alt tabbing away from skype and then alt tab back and see if that does anything.

Hi, You can press alt, to open the file menu, and press escape to exit out from the menu, it should focus properly again. Hope I helped.

Heavens! Has skype become more and more less accessible? I don’t use it anymore. I’ve used it with win 7 a little with an earlier version of NVDA. I haven’t used it since 2015. I don’t think I want to use it anymore. I use facetime on the Ipad instead. No more skype for this grey duck! Lol.

Hi I’m using Skype 8.64 with NVDA. When Skype first opens, it just announces “Skype” but all I do is press the alt key to open the menu bar, go to the view menu and arrow down to “toggle full screen” and press enter.
Cheers Chris

Never really had accessibility problems with skype, but for a long time I wasn’t able to use it as my stuff was so old. You should use the so-called Skype Electron aka Skype for Desktop.

I would also recommend that one download the program off the web site rather than using the one in the Microsoft store. I’m not sure why, but that one is quite limited.
