I think 'nonsense' is worn out. Well I do not see a preview even though I had not tried to get rid of it. The main window has all sorts of controls and if you look in the Skype File menu you will see a couple of commands that may be of use. Consider the fact that version 8.x is a rewrite of

I had this sort of thing happen with Dropbox months ago, and the solution was to find and dispense properly with one or more extra windows found by VO+F1 or VO+F2, if I remember correctly. Common window names might include System dialog, Notification Center, and Security. This is from months-old

Hi Jean, Simply asking this for perspective..and apologize if the answer is somewhere else. When was the last time you successfully used Skype with the exact computer environment you are using now? what if anything has changed since then? Cheers, Kare On Thu, 10 Jan 2019, jean parker

Did you check the Application or Window Choosers? Did you also check the Security and Privacy settings in System preferences to see of you have allowed access to camera and microphone? From E.T.'s Keyboard... ancient.ali...@icloud.com Many believe that we have been visited in the past.

I solved it. There was a second window open prompting for the login password so that Skype could access the keychain. After supplying the password, Skype started and was accessible with VoiceOver. On 1/9/19, 18:49, "'E.T.' via MacVisionaries" wrote: I just launched the latest Skype

Hello Jean, I just noticed that your signature line states that you live in Switzerland. Is this correct? If so, I'm wondering if there are some regional settings that may be causing problems with Skype. For example, are you using an English language TTS such as Alex? If not, try switching

I just launched the latest Skype today for the first time under Mojave. No trouble of any kind. I was prompted to allow access to camera and microphone. Voiceover is fine. Check to see if there are any dialogs that may be open which requires action before you can actually use Skype.

As already mentioned, did you authorize Skype to use your Microphone and camera? When I first started Skype in Mohave it acted similarly until I went to the system dialogs that came up and authorized it to use these services. Newer versions of Skype much like Microsoft Teams, and Slack tend to
