Press **Ctrl + E**  \n   This moves focus to the top search bar (\u201cSearch or type a command\u201d).

([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/accessibility/teams/use-a-screen-reader-to-make-and-answer-calls-in-microsoft-teams?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \ud83d\udee0 Alternative Using the Calls Tab\n\nIf your Teams version has the **Calls** tab:\n\n1. Press **Ctrl + 5** to open the Calls tab. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-US/accessibility/teams/use-a-screen-reader-to-make-and-answer-calls-in-microsoft-teams?utm_source=openai))  \n2.
