Group calls to China

Hi, I'm trying to have a conference call from Canada to a group in China but the reception is terrible. Can we get skype premium to improve this service. I don't see China listen in the countries served. Does anyone have advice about improving quality of conference / group calls to China? Thanks. pabrook

Skype premium does not improve the quality of any given call
it sounds like your issue is much more likely to be related to router or internet issues that Skype has no direct control over
can you host comparable test group calls in Canada or the US with acceptable call quality?
Regards,
Neil

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.

Can't use camera in group call.

I am unable to use my camera while in a group call. The camera works, but whenever i try to turn it on through the call quality tab it says that there are too many people in the call/conversation. Even though there are only three to four people active in the call it won't let me activate the camera. Other people in the call can use theirs so i don't know what the problem is.

I figured out the issue... they changed the way Group Calls are limited.
Here's a full explaination - and a suggestion for a behavior fix: http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Please-Fix-Group-Video-Voice-Calling-Limit-Beha...
Long story short, you can't do a video calling at all if the group has more than 10 people in it total (including you).
Also, you can't do voice calling in groups with more than 25 people.
Text chats are limited to 300 people (or so I've been told by Skype employees). I've been in a chat with over 100 participants though so I know it goes that high at least.

I can't send or recieve messages in group calls

So I've got this problem recently, and it shows me in group chats "Instant messaging isn't currently available...."(the message is longer). I cannot send messages and i can't recieve them in group calls, but on private I can.
I have the latest skype version, I allowd skype to connect through my firewall and also I tried port forwarding, but no use. I logged out from my phone and from other devices where I'm logged in.
I tried solutions from other posts and none of them worked. Please help me with this!

I forgot to add that I also reinstalled my windows, and I think it also doesn't work on my phone. My friends who I'm talking to, don't have this problem, just me.

No Video For Group Calls

I have the latest version of Skype. The webcam I'm using is "LiveCam Sync HD" from Creative. It works fine with Skype on an individual call, but will not work with groups. What is the reason, and how can I correct it?
(Incidentally, my name above is ironic. I actually know nothing much.)

Hi
Sorry no solution - I have the same problem as you.
I have been trying to use video for a group call to 3 others. Calling each person individually they can see my video, but when we call as a group they cannot see my video but I can see theirs.
I am using a Dell Latitude (3 years old) with Windows 7. It was reimaged last week and downloaded latest skype - the problem has happened before the remiage so not this.
Hopefully someone has some ideas?
Cheers
Chris

HT3529 How do you send a message to a group of people. I want to invite our local friends to a birthday party. I have created a group called "Centerville Gang". The group has about 12 people in it. Is there a way I can select this group to receive thi

I want to invite 12 people to a birthday party. I have created a group called "Centerville Gang" I want to send just one message to all of these people. I would think there would be a way to select this group as the recipients once instead of doing 12 searches through my contacts to get all of the members in the group but I cant seem to figure it out. I must be missing something. Can you help?

Contact groups do not allow for group emailing. they are just an organizational tool for the contacts list.

Z10 group call log

Hi all,
is there any way to group call by name in Z10 call log/call history? With old BB, calls were grouped by name and was easy to see contact's call history; now, If a contact call me 10 times, I have 10 entry in my call log and, with a daily huge amount of calls it's annoying
Any help?
Thank you

How do I promote members of a group call?

I made a group call for some people running the server, but there are four people in particular I want to make better than everyone else. My friend said I can promote them to administrators, but I don't really know how.

I also need to know the answer to this question. Is it possible? If so, HOW?

Not letting me join group calls?

I cannot seem to join the group call. There is no option to join the call, and this is shared among all devices (ipad, laptop, and android phone). All applications are all up to date and have been redownloaded. The chat log registers that the "call as started" and had yet to have "ended" but there is no "join call option". The option sometimes appears after a long time if at all. The call leader must re-add me to the call for it to appear. There is then the problem of the calls randomly being dropped when the internet is fine. HELP!

Hi,
One of the theories we had is that there might be someone in the call who is not your friend, so the privacy settings were kicking in and the call was dropping.
Could you check this please? Before the call, please make sure that all participants are in your contact list and have added you as a contact on their side also.
Thanks!

Can I add a caller DURING a group call?

I am aware that if someone calls me with Skype during a group call, I can bring them into the group right away by simply accepting their call. However, how does one make it work in the other direction? When I am on a group call, and the group decides it would like to bring a non-group member in, how is that done? Steve112

While on a call you can use the "add call" or "Contacts" buttons to get to the Contacts app. You can then add a new contact or add or edit numbers in existing contacts. (If the keypad is showing, press "hide" to see the other buttons.) Press the green bar at the top of the screen to return to the phone screen. If you are not using the headset, you can switch to speakerphone first, so you can talk while doing this.
If you want to use another app while on the phone, press the home button, then choose the app. It won't disconnect the call. If you have a CDMA carrier (Sprint, Verizon) you won't be able to use cellular data while on a call.

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.
