During video calls, constantly changing video form...

Hello there!
when I make video calls on my Kindle Fire HDX 7, the video format on my side often changes. It will suddenly cycle through 2 or 3 aspect ratio settings, and each time it changes there is a BING or PEEP or BEEP sound.
I think this is minimized when I sit in one place, hold the tablet still, and dont make any wild movements.
Anyways, this is very disruptive, and makes video calling with Skype on this device not very satisfying.
So, thanks for any tips ahead of time!

I contacted Amazon with a chat help session, and did not receive any helpful advice. Got the suggestion to try Viber to see if that works.
This must be an issue with Skype, so its too bad no input is coming from anyone on the inside... ahem. The fact that Skype comes preinstalled on the HDX lead me to believe that it would be optimized for the device, which was clearly not the case... yet anyways.
My solution: ditch the Kindle Fire HDX. Skyping was one of my main reasons to have one, and it works quite poorly. This shouldnt be a challenge for a device with such a powerful processor.

Some video calling services such as Skype will work over 3G, assuming your carrier allows it; not all do.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic can't make video call

Hei...just bought a Nokia 5800. Everything seems fine except that whenever I tried to make a video call,
it says "video call not supported by network", even though I'm using a postpaid 3G SimCard. Does my hp
need some config done or is it something else? Pls help.

I think you already gave the answer yourself "video call not supported by network".
That means that either your network does not support video calls or in the area you were trying to make the call you had no 3G coverage. Is this possible?
By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

Problem with video calling

Dear Skype community,
Last few days I have a weird problem with my Skype. I want to use the option video calling but my video is all messed up. I have included a screenshot so you can see what my problem is. In the screenshot its my webcam that messes up, but when I call a friend its their video that looks like that. I have no idea how to solve this probem and hope you can help. I have reinstalled skype already and installed the latest version but the problem stays. I also have tested my webcam with different chatting programs like Facebook video chat but there is no problem there.
I hope my problem will be fixed because I really love using Skype!
P.S. Excuse me for some grammar mistakes. English is not my native languege

Elaine,There is a heap of discussion about video problems - you appear to know a lot about this subject. I suspect a lot of these people may be like me, still using an older version of skype (Windows PC), like many of my contacts - and everything works flawlessly and has done so for years, including video. The reason we all still use this older version is that it is so much simpler and easier to use than recent versions which have become extremely cumbersome and screen hungry.It has always been as simple as pressing the 'Start my Video' bar which appears at the bottom of the app. Recently when connecting to newer contacts, and some old contacts who have bought new devices etc - the 'Start my Video' bar no longer appears, and video no longer works in either direction and I can't find anywhere to turn it on. I am on a netbook and my webcam is working fine. I suspect these contacts would be using later (and latest) versions of Skype, because Skype has probably upgraded without them realising, as tends to happen these days. I have done some testing between 2 PCs myself (one old Skype version (3. and one new version) and confirmed that all the chat, etc and everything works fine, BUT NOT VIDEO. My question is (do you know?) have the latest version(s) of Skype purposely stopped supporting video with the older versions? I have searched and searched all the online help but can't find any specific confirmation of this fact. Would much appreciate your help.

Disable Facebook video calling problem

I Installed facebook vdeo calling, then I did want to use it any more so I deleted the .bundle file from the liberary>internet-plugin folder.
I am still getting a warning window which pops up for less than half seconds and then disappear even before I can read it..
In the conlole folder I saw the error message as
I have deleted the .bundle before but my safri still shows that that plugins installed
Facebook Video Calling Plugin
Facebook Video Calling by Skype — from file “FacebookVideoCalling.bundle”.
MIME Type
Description
Extensions
application/skypesdk-plugin
Facebook Video Calling plugin provided by Skype
.. I am just one user on my system, hence I have only 1 liberary folder.
I tried reinstalling the facebook videocalling again so that I will be able to see the .bundle file but it still wont show the file in the internet-plugin folder...
the video calling works fine but I want to delete this plugin, what should I do?

Hi from Ensenada, Mexico....   I have the same situation some hours ago, and the unique thing you need to do, is next:
1. Go to your "Home folder", locate the Library folder, then your "internet plug-ins" folder, inside this you will see an Alias file named "FacebookVideoCalling.bundle"
2. Point and select it with the mouse, then, click it with the second finger click or "CTRL + CLICK", a pop-up menu appear, select from list "show original"
3. If you erased the "Alias file", please go to this location:
     In a finder window, locate your home folder from the left navigation panel, the route will be
     "your home folder"> Library> Application Support> Facebook> Video> 1.1.0.12> "FacebookVideoCalling"
     { this route appear in my OS X Lion}
4. The "FacebookVideoCalling" is an application, I recomend that you use an unisntaller software like "TrashMe", if not, just remove all the Facebook Folder sending to the trash....
5. Is everything to do....   Regards !!!

Suggestion: Direct Video Call using 3G network.

I found there is not Direct Video Call option in any Android version by default Like it is in iPhone and Symbian phones, we can do a Video Call directly using the 3G network by dialing the number like we dial it for a normal call. Samsung and some HTC phones have implemented this in their andriod phones. I want to suggest please implement this Video calling feature in Sony Xperia phones. Note: I am not talking about Video call using any Video Calling App like skype or hangout or tango etc. I am talking about direct 3G network Video Call by dialing the number. So better people avoid replying to the post with useless replies

You might be right at your place, many people may not need it because there are many free video calling apps in google play. But if you believe me, there are still some people here in our region, they do not know how to use google play or a google ID, and if they do not know what is google play how they will download an app for a video call.many people are backword here, some of them even do not know how to use these video call APPS. The purpose of my this suggestion is for those people who are not able to download and who are not able to use these video callings apps. if this features enables, they can just make a video call like a normal call only network data charges apply and that is it. I have also requested the same feature to android.

Video Calling Apps? iPad 2 (Deaf)

Hi Apple, iPad 2,
I've recently purchased a iPad 2 after 12 hours wait at UK apple store. I'm profoundly deaf myself, a british sign language user. FaceTime nowadays are not popular enough but I don't even know how to use them.
UK deaf community including a british sign language user does not really use a FaceTime nowadays.
However....they normally use a Facebook chat video calling, window live video calling, yahoo video calling, and Skype video calling, etc.
These video calling above are not actually available on apps store for iPad 2. I'm really disappointed.
I also want to say that Camfrog video calling for 121 video chat, they actually do not work! Camfrog video app should be removed from app store cos I've paid for it!
Can anyone please help me this issue? What's shall I do?
I would be grateful if you can help me on this because myself as a sign language user, I really do need to communicate to deaf people.
Thank you so much.
Lee.

Tell Facebook, skype and microsoft you are disappointed in their lack of iPad support-it's their responsibility to provide the apps, not Apple.
You can only use the video chat apps available in the app store that developers have actually developed.

I already have this msi windpad enjoy 7. you will need to uninstall the update of adobe flash player 11 to 10.2 in order to view videos. Simply go to settings,; applications; manage applications; choose adobe flash player 11.; uninstall. it will revert bak to 10.2. don't forget to restart your tablet after the uninstall. As for skype video call, There is a problem with the skype application software so you cannot make a video call. There is a missing plug-in with the skpe video call and i'm still working on it.

How i can fix this problem?
Note that: this summer I have changed my logic board to a new one and since then i never had any problem. The only this is that i'm having a warning for service battery which i think is not the issue.

Remove those kernel extensions and test again. They are not part of Mac OS X, you added them.
If you do not know how to remove them, contact the manufacturer.
If you still cannot figure it out, visit the genius bar (FREE with appointment).
They will:
make sure you have adequate Backups (which is two copies for this exercise).
erase your hard drive (which deletes everything and has no way to get it back, hence the two Backups).
Re-Install Mac OS X from original sources.
Restore your user files.
If that stops the panics, the problem was in the extensions you added.

New iPad 4G internet access lost during Skype video calls, also to all apps...

Hi
i have the New (3rd generation) iPad 4G 32 Gb and i noticed that i totally lost internet connection during Skype video calls. The wifi signal is full but loosing the internet connection. Trying other apps like safari after the failure i don't have also internet access. After turninmg off & on afain wifi from iPad's settings everything returns to normal state.
No other wifi problems when not using Skype for iPad, no problems with Facetime or any other application, no problem with any other device, i also have an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3GS without any connection or internet problems.
Any idea? Is it a Skype problem, or iPad's know wifi problem?
Regards

Skype screen goes white during calls and video calls

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 and recently after the latest skype upgrade I'm getting a white screen during regular calls and during video call while I can talk and hear the other side and on the video call the other side can see me. Important to mention that I see the contact list on the left side.
What should I do in order to fix it? (tried reinstalling skype)
Thanks a lot in advance!

The timer was actually working but updating in 3-5 seconds. While I had powerful laptop (i5 2.6GHz, 8Gb RAM). So,... I had to use power button to restart.
Any ideas how to avoid this in future?
Dis anybody experience similar issue?

Webcam Randomly Turning Off During Video Calls

During a video call, my video will randomly stop. I can start it again without problem, but would love to figure out why this is occurring, so that I can stop it from happening. My video is showing perfectly fine in the Audio/Video settings.
The camera is showing as a FaceTime HD Camera. I'm on Yosemite 10.10.1 with Skype version 7.0 (653).
Has anybody experienced this before and know how to fix it?

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not alone. I've had my pre for about 6 weeks and I love it. So... I bought an INVISI-SHIELD for over $20 at Best Buy. Then the flickering and blank screens started a few days later. The only difference was the new protective, invisible, EXPENSIVE piece of plastic - so I trim it back to just the face (assuming it was a side sensor glitch) but it still didn't stop it. So I peeled off the skin tonight and it seems to be fine... for the time being.
A WARNING would've been nice before I spent my money. I want to be reimbursed by Sprint! Thanks community - it was nice to get help from YOU!
