Re: [orca-list] Skype for Linux

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,

For linux there are two official client apps from Skype.
The first one is called skype and that is the qt4 32 bit app we are using 
all the time.
Then there is a more recently developed app called skypeforlinux. That is 
the webrtc and other web like technologies electron based app. This has 
also been updated recently. So assume this is the one skype developers 
intend to stay working. Despite electron on Windows is reportedly including 
some accessibility support I was unable to make skypeforlinux accessible 
when testing it. This has to be looked into and upwoted where appropriate 
so skype developers are aware.

Greetings

Peter
