It should work under Windows 7 as far as I know. If it consistently doesn't,
I'd be curious to see why. Also though, teams.microsoft.com provides a web
interface for it; so I'd think that would work under Windows 7. That may
be the interface you mean anyway.

Thank you Shan and Doug for the advices regarding Teams. I am trying to find
a better Skype alternative and your messages are helpful.
Under Windows 7 however, I think that Teams remains inaccessible for JAWS,
no matter if it is restarted or not, so it is probably useful only when
using it under
Windows 10.

Subject: [jawsscripts] my experience of using teams with jaws!!!
Hi all!
Since the new norm is to be working from home and I'm now on my 4th week
of working from home and we use teams a lot I've discovered a lot of
things that makes teams and jaws really nice and easy to use.
1. The first thing is get your hands on the key board shortcuts. They
make your life very nice. Whe I started out in teams I use to tab around
a lot. It drove me nuts. But now with the short cut keys and a bit of
work I no longer tab much at all.
Use the control key with numbers 1 through 5. The important one is control
+ 2 this puts the chat recent list in focus.
One can jump back and forth through you recent chats by holding down the
alt key and hit the up or down arrow keys. Its great. Sure beats the
tabbing back to the chat list and then arrowing up and down until you find
the person you want to chat too. Just use the alt and up or down arrow
keys and as the screen changes to another person on the recent chat window
it will tell you who it is.
Enter in your chat messages in the chat message window and when you hit
enter it just sends it. When the person writes back the notification will
tell you what they said. But if you didn't catch it then shift tab from
the chat input window and you can arrow up and read the conversation.
The other thing that drove me nuts was the difficulty of setting my
status. I would tab around until the cows came home sometimes I would
find the area to change m my status and sometimes not.
Well again the short cut keys come to the rescue.
Control + the slash jumps you into the command window area, and so you can
either cursor down, or just type the word available and hit enter and the
status will get updated and it tells you, or to see the options use the
down arrow keys to see the choices and hit enter on the one you want.
Another important key stroke is the control + period key this will show
the keyboard short cuts.
The only problem I've encountered with teams is when I switch over to it
from another program sometimes jaws is messed up. So a quick windows key
and up arrow to maxiumize the window often fixes this, or if I'm not sure
a control + 2 to pull the recent chat window helps things as well.
Sorry about the long email. But I wanted to give or outline things that
I've discovered while using teams. It works very very nicely with jaws.
Take care everyone and have a good day.
