Re: A Problem Answering Incoming Face Time Calls?

Don’t know if this makes a difference, but using Big Sur on a Mac Mini with M1, 
when I get a call, I just command tab to the FaceTime window, and right arrow 
to the except button.  Works every time

Messages is pretty easy, Select the conversation you want to delete and do VO 
Shift M for the context menu. You will then see the delete option. As for 
notifications, do VO O for the notification and widgets. Interact with 
notifications and VO right to the one you want, do VO shift space and you can 
select your option that you want to do.

Try the following:
1.  With VO focus on a notification, press VO + CMD + Spacebar, to access the 
Notification Action Menu.
2.  Arrow up/down to the desired action, and press Enter.

How do you get rid of notifications once you have them?  If I put my cursor on

Hi Herbie,

As John describes in that message below, prior to the Big Sur update that is 
exactly how it worked for me – just and easy swipe or VO-left/right and press 
the accept button. Now, with the update to Big Sur there is no simple way to 
just navigate to the accept button when the call comes in.

  Hello All,

  Since I updated to Big Sur on my 2014 Mac Book Pro, I have not been able 
to answer incoming Face Time calls on the computer. 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.

   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.

Hello All,

Since I updated to Big Sur on my 2014 Mac Book Pro, I have not been 
able to answer incoming Face Time calls on the computer. 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.

Eileen

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.

Hi! 
If you have headphones connected to your Mac you can just press the answer

Thanks, but just to make sure I understand, should I do these steps after doing

do it right where the VO focus is at?

  Hello All,

  Since I updated to Big Sur on my 2014 Mac Book Pro, I have not been able to 
answer incoming Face Time calls on the computer. 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.

  Eileen

Re: A Problem Answering Incoming Face Time Calls?

2020-12-27 Thread John Panarese 
  VO-command-space on the notifications and VO-down arrow down the options. You 
can then VO-spacebar.
