Problems with Skype group calling

Skype works quite well on my iMac for calls with single individuals, and for group calls where someone else initiates the call. But I am unable to launch a group call without Skype going sideways -- all audio suddenly gets so distorted it is unusable. Anyone else experienced this or know about a fix? I am current with updates from Apple and Skype ...

Your second-hand phone may have been hacked or jailbroken before you got it. Ask the person you bought it from.

Skype phone group calls

We have a need to give our users the ability to place a group call using Skype phones. Is this possible to do? We can see all the individual contacts of the signed in user but groups are not listed. Is this something that could be added to the Skype phone?

Yeah, that's what we've discovered as well. The workaround we have come up with is for the group leader to initiate the call from their PC. The group they call includes our users on their Skype phones. This works but is a bit clunky. It would be great if the group call feature were implemented on Skype phones in a future release or update.
Thanks for the quick response!

Group calls on Philips TV

We bought very expensive camera for Philips TV just to figure out that we can not have group calls. not even with cameras off. I can see software update on 55PFL6007T from 2012. Does it means there are no plans to update skype on this TV set. Is there some other way how to utilise TV and camera for the group calls. Some other software?Or connecting computer somehow?

Group calls in Skype generally require processing power. Devices that don't host group calls generally lack that processing power making it impossible to do in Skype regardless of updates. The most compatible and up to date solution is to use a dedicated computer/laptop/desktop home media server connected to the TV's video and audio inputs (VGA/HDMI and audio jacks). You would then use a standard mic/camera combo through a powered USB hub (for more cable distance) along with a wireless keyboard and mouse. This essentially gives you more power than any integrated solution.

Skype does not want to join group calls at all.

Hello.I recently got this very unusual problem with Skype. While I was talking in a group conversation, my internet bugged out, and as a result, of course, it kicked me out of the call. Afterwards, the internet started working just fine, but now it doesn't even let me call anyone, and I can't join group chats. When I call someone, it says that they were not called, or when I try to join a group call, it just stays silent for a couple of seconds, and kicks me out. My friends on the other side of the call say that I'm just ringing, but not joining the call.I have reinstalled Skype at least 5 times, restarted my computer, deleted Skype and reinstalled it yet again, and even got an error 3-4 times saying that the installation could not compelte correctly.I don't have a clue what the problem could be. And my headphones work just fine, so it can't be that. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah i'm with you there. plus, haven't you seen the new skype in web browser now. Its in a beta right now and probably going to be legit. First of all, Fix your program first. We don't need more pieces of useless **bleep** for skype. We just need it fixed. so stop sitting with your thumbs up your ass and actually make your program not a piece of **bleep**. Before skype was amazing bit now, like everything else microsoft has made, it went down fast. So please do us and yourself a favor fixed this bug already.

Will you people at microsoft will ever bother to fix your program? It's passed enough time for a huge bug to be fixed. And don't give us crappy solutions like "HEY ERASE YOUR FULL SKYPE HISTORY INCLUDING CHAT AND CALLS, BUT YOU CAN MANUALLY GET IT BACK BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TO RENAME THE FOLDER SKYPE_OLD" which isn't a fix but a smelly workaround?
D A M N, get to work, and instead of releasing 70540 new versions of it, just fix the current versions already.
I have to bother everytime the call creator and kindly ask him to close the whole conversation for everyone and make a new one, otherwise I can't join back.
Get to work and fix this.

Skype Advice With Group Calls Please

Hello I was hoping you maybe to answer some questions on skype for me please. I am hoping to use skype as a replacement to online webinar software.
I am using grop conference video calls. Can you please confirm I can have a max of 10 people? Is that likely to increase in the future?
Some of the participants are using laptops/desktops and others are using ipads/iphones. I understand that those on ipads/iphones can't see the video but will the people of laptops/desktops still see the video? Are there any other issues or actions that may occur when there is a mix of devices connected to the group call?
If I (using skype on a desktop) invite the participants to the group call and after I lose connection or hangup will the group call still be working for the rest of the participants?
What happens if someone who has been invited to the group call loses connection and leaves the group call for whatever reason will they be able to join automatically? or do they need to be reinvited again?
Thank you very much
Wizard

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Current participant limit for group video calling is 10. Skype does not share any forward looking statements when that will increase, but this figure is being reviewed constantly as network parameters and hardware evolve.
If users on platforms not supporting group video calling are participating, they won't see video or screen share, but participants on other clients still can. No further limitations beyond that.
If the connection of the group video call host (the user who initiated the group call) drops the call will drop for everyone. The conversation will stay in the "Recent" listing though so it can be easily restarted and participants can easily join that way.

Skype refuses to join group call

So, I was in a group call earlier today and suddenly the call dropped. When I rejoined my friend said something along the line of "the peasants" or something silly like that and I was immediately kicked. At first I thought they were messing with me, but this persisted every time I tried joining the call. I tried restarting Skype. Same problem. I tried restarting my computer same problem. I tried uninstalling skype twice, same probelm. Every time I'm greated with the same audio clip of "the peasants" and kicked. Occasionally, the dialing tone will play when I'm not calling anyone and will then just stop. I'm on a mac and most of the support threads I've seen on this issue give instructions for windows users and recommend deleting the dbtemp folder, which I cannot find in the skype library on my mac. Has anyone experienced this before?

bump any solution?

Skype-In can't make Group Call

I have two Skype # assigned to my ID. Since my Skype-Out subscription expired, I have been having difficulty with Group calls. Once I add a new incoming call, it automatically put the original call on hold and prompt me with the option of buying a skype credit. I started experiencing this issue after I canceled my Skype Out subscription. Please I need help fixing this issue because it affects my podcast show. I can no longer take multiple calls at the same.

Skype Group Call Audio History

Hello people of the skype forums, I have searched the forums on "recovering Skype Group call Audio History" but to no avail, does skype even record the call(audio) histories? I had recorded some gaming footage with my friends and my screen+audio recorder crashed midway and I was wondering whether the audio we had on the skype call can be recovered?
Also, I've found "skypelogviewer" and apparently it doesn't support mac. Does skype log viewer enable users to access call audio files?
I appreciate any assistance in advance.

Group Video Calling for Skype TV

Hi,
I just purchased a Panasonic LED with the Skype Webcam plus bought a Skype Premium account for group video calling but cannot figure out how to set up a group video call. Can someone assist? Normal 1 to 1 works fine.
Does the Skype TV app have the ability to group video call? If not, will there be an update coming out as its pretty useless to me unless we have this feature. So if there is an update coming out do we know time frames?
thanks
mark

Hi
We are exploring all the technical options for making Group Video Calling available on TVs. Most of these options, to be honest, will need an updated TV with a faster processor and more memory. However, there are some alternative options we are also exploring which could potentially support Group Calling on the current generation of TVs.

Skype Premium - Improved group calling?

Hi there,
I regularly host Skype calls with 6-8 people across four continents (US, UK, East Africa and SE Asia). The sound quality is okay, but when the number of participants goes over 5+ people our calls tend to get dropped after a few minutes. It is a frustrating process of dialing back in.
I am thinking of upgrading to Skype Premium. I'm not interested in the video conferencing feature (the bandwith of my colleagues in Africa and Asia won't support that), but I am wondering whether the upgrade will improve our dropped calls situation?
Otherwise, does Skype have any other products or solutions to improve group calling or improve call quality in general?
Thank you!

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Skype Premium would not affect quality of your audio only group calls. So if you are not into group video calling, the live chat customer service option or advertising removal Skype Premium is not something for you.

Skype won't let me join a group call

So I'm trying to join a group call and scype joins it to the point where i can see the prictures, but i can't hear anything, and then it just ckicks me out. I have tried deleting and ree-innstaling, running some scetchy cmd prompt **bleep** and allot of other things. Some forums say that i need to be friends with the hoster of the chat, and i am a friend with the original hoster, but i have no ide who has called up the chat this time. i have had this bug FOR MONTHS but just spam-joining has usually gotten me in the call.i have also seen other people complain about this problem and apparently it has been around for a long time. So apparently a problem that makes it so that you CAN'T USE THE PROGRAM HAS EXISTED FOR MONTHS AND NO REAL FIX HAS BEEN RELEASED; FOR **bleep**S SAKE SKYPE. Several of my friends also have had this problem, but as fgar as i know noone of them have reaced the stage where the program is unusable. BTW, i can still talk with other people on skype, but not the big grou chats. I have also tried downgrading, but apparently skype has removed all liks with downlaods to prevous versions so that if there is a bug that makes you UNABLE TO USE THE **bleep** PROGRAM you can't downgrade.
I might seem a bit angry, but it is summer, and i have been working for the past weeks, and i finally have a day off to chat with my friends and play games with them before i go back to work tommorom, but then i have to spen HOURS TRYING TO FIX A **bleep** BUG THAT THE SKYPE TEAM SHOULD HAVE FIXED MONTHS AGO.

Ugh, I'm having the same issue. It's been going on for awhile. The group has about 13 members in it but 3 or 4 people usually join the group calls. When I try to join I see pictures as if I'm joining, but then I'm kicked out. Sometimes it takes someone from inside of the group to call me and add me in, but even then that doesn't work sometimes. It's incredibly irritating that this bug is still a thing. I hope you get your answer soon. As of now I have none. Still trying to find a solution.

Skype 7.7 crashes when I try to start a group call (Windows 10)

The problem started when Skype updated to 7.7. I can login, chat, but when I start a group call, it instantly stops working and crashes. Didn't tested if this was happening on private call though, but it's still an issue. Here's the DXdiag log: ---------------

Ah. This forum is for photoshop elements. In CS5 you have a lot more options for workarounds, and you should probably post your question in the Photoshop for Windows forum to get the best answers:
