For some time now, the Skype team was experimenting with a new interface for the desktop version of Skype for Windows, mainly for the conversation windows. It was recently publicly announced that changes in the interface for the desktop version of Skype will be coming. Until recently however, I wasn't able to obtain a version of Skype with the new test interface. But these days I searched in their forum (the Skype community) and found a link for download of that new test version. I installed it and in general I like it. However, there are problems with NVDA with that new Skype version.
One of them is that sent and received chat messages are no longer automatically read by NVDA in the currently focused conversation.
The other one is that NVDA constantly gives its error sound when the focus lands in a conversation window.
The 2 mentioned issues may be related to one another, but I'm not sure. I'm attaching a log from NVDA with logging level set to "input/output". Hope it helps to diagnose the issues.
The link to download that new test version of Skype (at present - 6.16.64.105) is:
