(Narrator) We've chosen some of the most common tasks within Skype for this demo. I'll be going through these tasks fairly quickly so don't hesitate to pause and replay and of course if you get stuck in Skype try JAWS Key+H, Hotel, or JAWS Key+W, Whiskey.
As we touched on earlier when we were discussing the layout of the Skype window there's a tabs area that contains four different Skype tabs. You can navigate there by TABBING.
