Responding quickly as I have limited keyboard time today...

APIs:
The Skype Desktop API is what Clisk requires. It was officially end-of-lifed at 
the end of 2013 but still functions partially.
The Skype DevKit is, I think, the name of the API Skypetalking uses. That one 
may no longer work at all.

>From other replies you got:

Online person count: I understand some people want this but I'm not sure it's 
still available visually either. We don't need access to things that no longer 
exist as much as to things that still do. :-) (Ctrl+Shift+O was a JAWS script 
feature, not a Skype feature.)

Last-seen date/time: These are in a tool tip now and would better be provided 
via MSAA's accHelp or the UIA HelpText property of the listItem for each 
contact. This is a good approach to handling tooltip text in general.

Hi,

I am from Ireland, but I will meet with representatives of Microsoft at a
meeting on accessibility and technology in the European Parliament in
Brussels next Wednesday (19th).

What are the main issues with Skype that need to be raised?

I know about the withdrawal of the API that supports SkypeTalking and
probably CLISK, but can someone give me the proper names of the API and the
products affected?

What is the issue with being forced to sign up for a Microsoft account?

Thanks.



Take care,
