Well, I've been playing around with the app version of the Skype program
and surprisingly it is manageable with JAWS but as with mainstream
programs that are not specifically tailored to screenreader technology,
it does possess quirks and the interface takes some getting used to and
as far as the desktop app goes, on my HPG72 windows waptop that was
upgraded to windows 10 once that OS was released, no longer lets me sign
into my account and has not done so for a year, which is weird because
it used to work before I upgraded to Windows 10, so I uninstalled that,
yet I'm able to sign in just fine using the app version of Skype on this
and my HP Pro Book ^570B windows laptop also was upgraded to windows 10.
So, there you have it. I'm assuming that certain laptop models won't run
the desktop version while the app version will. Just my personal
experience with this, if you would like, I can test NVDA to see how that
works with Skype App, but I can honestly say that desktop version won't
work on both computers anymore with NVDA and JAWS, I'll report back to
you how NVDA does with the app version of Skype if you would like for me
to do so. Just let me know.
Sincerely,

Hi,
I think the desktop Version would be available, but with new design.
Microsoft is planning a completely new design of skype. Windows 7 is
still supported and it is use by very much companies, so I don’t
believe that the desktop version wouldn’t available.
