Well I have resolved the issue. Screwiest thing I ever saw. I was attempting to

Maybe, but I usually close my conversation windows. I don't want to keep a

I will if I have to though.

Hi,
I'm on a skype call and it seems like i've got a couple of interesting problems
here.
1, i can't recieve more than one file, because it seems that Skype displays a
conversation that i have closed, even though it's closed.
2, When i am in a call, i can only see the chat box and some images
Hi folks.
I'm trying out the skype 5 beta from various aspects and have come across one
that has me quite confused. When in a call, at least my voiceover doesn't see
the whole window with contacts list, source list etc and the menu for
participants in conference calls etc. Am i not able to do
Hello. use cmd option left and right arrow to get back to the sources list.
Take care.

Hi,
The /add method is good but iffy. If you don't know the exact user name of
someone, you could end up having someone who's not even in your contact list

that function at all.

You know, a thought occurred to me again.
I know that if you are in a chat and want to add people, you hit
COmmand-Shift-A, find the person in the list of the new window, then hit enter
once. Then, if you hit enter again without moving anything, it usually brings
them into the call. I

It is one of those logical things that hit you on the head when you consider

anyone had come to the same logical solution on how to perform that part in

What with the lot of us posting Skype feedback on the bugs we've been finding,
one would think they surely will heed what we say and fix these things prior

That's why I do post feedback. Remember this is a beta. Also I need to post a
bug on calling. it is a bit counter intuitive the call window if you get in to

Hi!
Well, it doesn't really matter whether it's or not, actually, as it disappears
when Skype is in the forefront anyway. So, unless you don't want it to say
Skype has new window feel free to leave it. Just sayin'. You can't use the
window, though, but it'd actually be a nice feature.
Try coppying the text to the clip board then gogn back to the edit box and
pasting.
Good luck.

If it is a table then and hitting enter causes the text he sees to go away then
maybe copying that row could be a work around. I recommend leaving skype

Hi!
If you must know, It's in the Calls preferences. Really, though, there are no
conflicts whatsoever beyond VoiceOver saying Skype has new window when it
disappears into the background. It would actually be a very useful feature if
it worked with VoiceOver.

Hello listers.
After looking on macrumors.com and finding out that Skype has released v5 beta
1, I immediately went and downloaded it.
There are a lot of accessibility improvements.
1. contact statuses are now spoken [online, away, etc, etc].
2. A lot more of the buttons are labeled.
Thats all
Awesome. Thanks lots for letting us know. I'm downloading it now.

Hi,
Just one of my strange questions again. I downloaded the Skype beta 5 and
noticed a very very strange thing. It no longer seems to be possible to have
conference calls if you use Voiceover. Pressing the button add people or
pressing its shortcut cmd+shift+a just moves me to an edit box.
Have you been able to do canference calling and if so how?
