Thanks, but I use Face Time for a weekly music lesson that now has to be done virtually so I can’t use headphones. I will keep this in mind as a possibility once I dig up a pair of headphones that have such a buttone on them for other calls.

If you have headphones connected to your Mac you can just press the answer button on your headphones. /A 28 dec. 2020 kl. 19:14 skrev John Panarese <[email protected]>: It’s hit or miss. I’m not sure if it’s based on what you are doing at the moment, but sometimes, the focus is in the window for me, sometimes it’s not. I haven’t paid enough attention yet to figure out that mystery yet. Take Care John D.

I know that VO+O takes me to the notification center, but I am unsure what to do to try and find the answer/accept button on incoming calls. I am able to place out-going with Face Time, however. Does any one else have this problem and know the solution? And, second, is it a bug or just my problem with not knowing what to do? I called Apple Accessibility to ask for some assistance and I was told that I really should not update as soon as the OS updates come out, but rather wait a year or even two. It used to be so simple to either swipe on the track pad or VO+ Left/right-arrow to the needed button. Seems to me it has something to do with accessing the notifications since I could not even get a screen sharing session going with their tech support. Thanks for any pointers in the proper direction.
