Hi! I never hear any ads in Skype since I unchecked the Allow Targeted Ads option, which is something I did several versions back.
It just occurred to me that maybe some screenreaders see the ads and others dont. NVDA certainly doesnt see them since I unchecked the Allow Targeted Ads checkbox, but maybe other screenreaders still pick up on the ads. Obviously, you can use whatever screenreader you like, Im just saying that might be another reason why the ads still show up for you, as I know that sometimes one screenreader reads things that others dont, and vice versa.

Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Getting rid of or Hiding the Advertisement tabs If you are referring to the option "Allow Microsoft targeted ads, including use of Skype profile age and gender" then it doesn't work because I had that option unchecked but I was still hearing "advertisement" each time I opened a chat window. The 5 euro donation for Microsoft solved it though. :-) --Octavian ----- Original Message ----- From: Clare Page via Skypeenglish <mailto:[email protected]> To: 'screen readers' access to skype and its interface.' <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2015 1:47 PM Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Getting rid of or Hiding the Advertisement tabs Hi! You dont need Skype credit to get rid of the ads in Skype. Heres how to get rid of them in Skype 7.1 for Windows, without spending any money or having to do anything very complicated. Go into the Tools menu in Skype, then into Options, then arrow down to Privacy Settings. Then tab down to the dialogue, and hit the Show Advanced Options button. In the new dialogue this button opens, there is a checkbox saying something like Show Targeted Ads: make sure this is unchecked. Im pretty sure these instructions work for earlier Windows Skype versions. I hope this helps! Bye for now, and happy skyping! >From Clare From: Skypeenglish [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Octavian Rasnita via Skypeenglish Sent: mercredi 4 février 2015 06:50 To: screen readers' access to skype and its interface. Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Getting rid of or Hiding the Advertisement tabs How can we add Skype credits and how much do we need to add? Does it require providing a credit card, or the payment can be done with PayPal? --Octavian ----- Original Message ----- From: John via Skypeenglish <mailto:[email protected]> To: screen readers' access to skype and its interface. <mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2015 1:04 AM Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Getting rid of or Hiding the Advertisement tabs If you have Skype credits then adds should not show.

I tried to look it up in the archive but I was unsuccessful. Any assistance is greatly appreciated, as I am getting tired of tabbing through these areas. Thanks in advance.
