They're fairly similar from what I know.

Skype 8 has a very serious issue. If somebody adds you as a contact, there is a chance that you won't get any notificationn that they added you. I have left feedback about this issue again and again. The only way to know if somebody added you to their contacts is if they send you a chat so you can accept the contact request. The same if you add somebody to your contacts, send them a chat so they know you added them.

When you're stuck, just try harder.

I get notified most of the time.

I've also noticed that the Skype icon doesn't appear in the system tray when the computer starts as it used to. It does, however, come up when a chat comes in.

Ah, so you seem to have the same problem where you can't control skype when you come back to it from another window. I wonder if that's an NVDA problem or a skype problem. but I can't do anything to help you there. I'm suffering from it too.

I'm not having any issues like that. Are you on the latest version of Skype?

I use the one built into windows 10. Not sure what Patrik's using.

The one built into Windows stopped updating for me so I switched to the electron version. I haven't seen any issues like I've seen here. I haven't added or removed contacts in awhile. I used to have to close and reopen the Skype window every time I deleted a contact, but I don't know if that issue is still hanging around, or how many people had it in the first place.

There was an update for it recently. If you don't have Windows Store apps update automatically, you will have to go and do it manually.

Electron updates more often so I've seen. I most likely won't go back to the UWP version. I've heard Microsoft is killing it off at some point.

I can't seem to answer calls but that's just me. A friend of mine doesn't have that problem. I have it on my iPhone and answer calls that way.

I have the same thing, it just says skype when going back to it. To fix this, press alt to get to one of the menus and press escape and you should be able to interact as normal.

#98 bomberman29

i also do like destructatron

Yep, I'll try that next time, if I ever happen to have Skype up when I get a call.
