Re: [JAWS-Users] Notifications from Skype 2016 for Business under JAWS 17/Windows 10
Hello jason, Annette and List In the normal Skype, there's an option to notify you when a contact changes status. If this option is present in skype for Business, it might do the trick.

Actually, my list of problems was pretty long. I was thinking since you had it up and running and were only experiencing issues with focus when a new message came in, that maybe there had been some significant improvements.

My work-a-round has been to not run Skype for Business. They are not happy with me at work, but since they are paying me to be productive this was the best solution.

[JAWS-Users] Notifications from Skype 2016 for Business under JAWS 17/Windows 10
Whenever the status of a contact changes in Skype 2016 for Business, a notification is displayed and it seems to take the focus away from whatever application I am using. I need to use Alt-Tab or Alt-Shift-Tab to move back to the current application - especially if it's a Web browser or other application in the virtual viewer. In Microsoft Outlook, for example in the message list, just pressing an arrow key is enough to restore focus, but in most situations this is not the case. Has anyone else here experienced this issue?
