Hi,
Thanks. I didn't have accessibility turned on.

Blessings in Jesus' name. "But as for me, I will sing about your power. Each
morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my
refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress."

This is not true. I am totally blind and use Skype for my business with NVDA
and I have no issues at all with accessibility. You can set up your shortcut
keys just like before and although it may be different than the version you
last used successfully, that does not make it inaccessible or difficult to
use with screen readers, or should I say with NVDA not having used JAWS in a
very long time and never having used Window Eyes. Be sure to turn on
accessibility in the settings though.

Alt F1 brings up your contacts and alt F2 brings up your recent history.
