Hi everyone hope you're doing well and staying safe and very happy Christmas to you all :-)
I have a friend who is most comfortable with Skype on Windows I'm not going to recommend any other chat applications to them, I am happy to chat to them using Skype but given the accessibility troubles with Skype on Mac what's the best way to use Skype on Mac currently? I may be wrong but I don't think the Native client is accessible are there any other third-party clients or is using it in the web browser still the most accessible way?
Thank you for your advice regarding this everyone look forward to hearing from you once again thank you for your kind help and happy Christmas.

I use it
Hello. Hope all is well. I use the Skype app on Mac. It works pretty good. It's accessible... if you are able to deal with constant arrow pushing around the interface, you should be fine.

Agree with the previous comment. I would suggest two things: install the latest version of Skype from the website instead of from the App Store and set hotspots for commonly used tabs. I personally have a hotspot to mark the "open conversations field" so I can get to it quickly while in a live call with a client. Hope this helps and good luck!
Update
Option+2 takes you to the chats list and you can arrow through your recents. You can find the full list of keyboard shortcuts on Skype's support page. This is just the command that stuck with me the most because I know I'll be using it all the time.
Good luck and hope this was helpful!
