Yes, I don't hear any adds, but just the annoying word "advertisement", and I
use Jaws.

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
don't. NVDA certainly doesn't 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, I'm 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 don't, and vice versa.
Bye for now!

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. :-)

Hi!
You don't need Skype credit to get rid of the ads in Skype.
Here's 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.
I'm pretty sure these instructions work for earlier Windows Skype versions.
I hope this helps!
Bye for now, and happy skyping!

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?

If you have Skype credits then adds should not show.

Hello List:
When I first joined this list about October, someone mentioned that
there was a way to hide or get rid of the advertisement panes on the Windows
desktop Skype screen. 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.
