VO and text chats in Skype (and similar apps): close to unusable

Hi all.

I’m relatively new to BO, and while I’m getting to the “OK” point mostly everywhere I need it, some things still seem pretty difficult. One important aspect is how to use text chats in apps such as Skype.

The mechanics are simple and I get them. But as soon as I am in a chat with multiple people, following the discussions becomeds between hard and impossible: as I try to read any new message with VO, I keep receiving perfectluy useless notifications such as “the contact is writing…”, “2 new chats of…” or “Contact XYZ has sent a new message”. OK, the wording is not exactly that, as I’m using a difrerent default language, but you get the idea.

I tried to deactivate all notifications for Skype, but the behaviour is the same. And very similar in iMessages, WhatsApp, etc.

Does anybody know a way to be able to be able to read the messages in a text chat without being continously interrupted by all those updates?

Thanks in advance

This is why I only have 1 conversation at a time. I have also found it impossible to try to keep up with motipal conversations when trying to use vo this is why I don't do group chats since it is just to hard tokeep up when trying to read incoming messages. so that is my thoughts only do one conversation at a time.
