Hi Donna, Just tested out the hotkey for muting and unmuting VoiceOver with Skype. I don't have the newest version, I have 5.3. I didn't have any problems losing speech after a call and unmuting my speech. I checked to see if Option-V might be a Skype function but it didn't do anything. Sorry about that. Interestingly, in the keyboard commanders, there is a mute speech toggle and a mute VoiceOver toggle. Don't know what the difference is.
