Hi, Press the control, shift key and pres the f 12 key quickly twice and it will say that the contacts will not be announced when they sign in. Do exacly the same thing to reverse it back.

I looked in the options and for some reason these two sounds appear to be controlled by the same setting. I could work around this by creating a silent .wav file, but was just wondering if there's a proper way to do it. Thanks James
