Alright here you go....

That should set you up
for calls and IMs on web skype. Also yes another vote for
pidgin's Skype addon, though it only does IMs On 03/06/18 19:21, Will Estes wrote:
Yes, it'd be handy to have the stuff for user agent switching inside firefox. If you're only interested in the messaging part of skype, you can install pidgin and the skype4web plugin for pidgin, too.

Skype uses an Electron wrapper which means it isn't compatible with Orca at all. MS know about this and the pleas on their forums fall on deaf ears, so to speak. Or, they just ignore it. It's a known issue with all Electron apps as well That being said....you can use web skype at web.skype.com if you want to use Skype, either use Chrome, or in Firefox set your useragent string to Chrome. I don't have the exact things you need to copy/paste in to hand right now but I can attest the useragent switching trick for web skype works. But if ya don't wanna go through the hassle of switching a user agent, just grab Chrome+ChromeVox or Chromium+Chromevox running with --enable-speech-dispatcher after the chromium command. Yeah it sucks but it's MS's program and they can do whatever they like to it. That being said, Milosh there are other alternatives to Skype out there that are much better for Orca friendliness than Skyp. I've a list somewhere on my machine i can dig out if anyone's interestedfully acc Jace On 03/06/18 18:39, Milos Przic wrote:Hello group, I and my friend tried installing Skype on Ubuntu installed on his computer. However, it doesn't seem to work well with Orca, as Orca doesn't read anything within the program. My friend installed all the gnome environment stuff needed, but the problem persists. What other packages should we install to make Skype accessible with Orca? Thanks to everybody in advance, and best regards!
