Skype Calling with JAWS

Lesson 3

8 of 9

Let’s discuss Skype calling.

TIP: Make sure before you use general windows commands that you’ve navigated to a conversation and opened it with ENTER. They won’t work from within the conversation list.

With focus in the desired conversation , to start an audio call, press CTRL+SHIFT+P, and to start a video call, press CTRL+SHIFT+K. With the call in focus, to toggle mute, press CTRL+M.

We’ve added a convenient way to answer and hang up Skype calls no matter where your focus. When you hear that distinctive sound of an incoming Skype call press your layered command, INSERT+SPACEBAR, then Y to activate the Skype layer, then UP ARROW to answer and DOWN ARROW to hang up.

Again, to review this complete list of commands, press JAWSKEY+H or JAWSkey+W.

Please allow [02:50] to watch the following instructional demonstration on making calls with Skype and JAWS before continuing to the next topic.
