Hi there!
I haven't used Skype for ages, but I downloaded it today on my Mac to be ready for an important Skype meeting coming up this monday.
Last time I used Skype for Mac, I seem to remember that it was fully accessible with VO, but now I can't access anything from the main window. The only thing VO can access is the 3 buttons for Close, Minimize and Full screen.
VO reads a line from the main window when Skype is first opened, but I can't navigate there in any way myself using VoiceOver. I've checked in the window chooser to see if there was any other Skype windows open that I perhaps needed to switch focus to, but there is only 1 window and VO can't access anything there except for the 3 buttons.
Is this something new, that accessibility is broken in the Skype Mac client, or am I doing something very wrong that isn't quite obvious to me?
Just to be clear, my sighted wife sees everything in the main window just fine, and she has no problem using Skype as a sighted user on my Mac. So this is clearly an accessibility issue.
I was hoping to not having to sit and hold my iPhone up for 30 minutes this monday, which is the time the meeting is supposed to last, but it seems like that is my only option at the moment.
Any hints or insights to what is going on or tips to solve this is very welcome! :)
