Basically I'm requesting that in the next update, or major version
change to GWConect, that a feature be added. That being, the ability to
make skype video
calls.
I'm sure I'm not the only blind person out there who has friends and
family/relatives who are sighted. With them being sighted, they like to
have video
chats with me, and if I'm using GWConnect, it's a major pain to have to
close out of GWConnect, and load up the skype program, as well as
SkypeTalking
in order to use skype properly.
Also, if I had to use the main skype program, I'd have to make sure the
latst JAWS scripts for Skypw were installed so I could hear what I
needed to hear.

If Video chats were to be added in GWConnect, this would better
facilitate that process.
Pressing control plus L should bring up a call menu, which will present
the user with a combo box. In this combo box, should be the option to
make a call
to a computer, video, or a phone number, if one is set up in the user's
profile.
As far as profiles go, more information should be provided, like time
zone, phone number ability, and whatever else is able to be updated in
the main skype
program.
I hope these changes and others will be implemented in later versions of
GWConnect.
