Group video call on TV

I group video called mine and my husbands parents tonight.  My parents do Skype through their Panasonic TV which was only purchased a month ago and yet I got a message saying they need to upgrade to version 5.0 or higher to be able to have the video working.  How do they upgrade on the TV?  Everything I've read on the Skype help pages seems to imply that having Skype on the TV means they should be on the latest software version?

group video on tv does not work, according to a skype staff member 2 months ago:

  • Why in 2014 do we still not have group video call ...

    I wanted to fire up skype on my tv to get to use a cam at all, but i can't since the darn skype app still has no group video call, only group voice calls...
    When will that app be updated to support it?

    It seems foolish to use Adobe's video products when they can't produce output.  (Yes, I know one can use Encore CS6 with at least the current versions of Premiere "Pro" CC, but I trust there are few who would consider it a reasonable workflow.)
    Easy output workflow if one has the need for DVD
    Export MPEG 2 > Import to * Encore> Output DVD.
    * Middle step can be replaced by DVD application of choice.
    What's the problem?

  • Screen sharing in group video calling

    Is it available screen sharing option for gp video calls ? 

    I got this e-mail too. I do not think it is scam. But I want to use both desktop and windows apps.  What the problem? Please Skype team do not change anything.

    Hello .......,
    It looks like you’ve signed into two Skype for Windows apps ‒ Skype for Windows desktop and Skype for modern Windows ‒ on your Windows 8 device.
    We’re simplifying your experience down to one app that you can use either with your mouse and keyboard or with touch. Going forward you’ll only need to use the Skype for Windows desktop app. This app has more features to help you stay connected like screen sharing and group video calling. Also, your chat conversations (from the last 30 days) and all your contacts will appear as normal.
    Note: From 7 July, 2015 you’ll no longer be able to sign into the Skype for modern Windows app.

  • Group Video Call

    Hello,
    My company  is exploring upgrading to Business Skype. We would like the ability to host Group Video Chats, the main concern here is, do the other parties need to also have business skype in order to participate in the Group Video Chat.
    We would like to upgrade to Business Skype to have this functionality while not forcing our customers to have to upgrade. Please provide me with more information as well as rates/Subscription fees.
    Thank you.

    Hi HWSands,
    The quick answer to your question is 'No'.  Your customers do not have to business Skype accounts to join your Group Video Conference.  Only the host is required to have the Group Video Calling subscription.  The cost of group video calling is GBP£4.99 per month.
    If you would like more information about how to use Skype in your business please get in touch.
    I hope this helps.

  • Group video call on TV: LG LA690

    Hi! I have a Smart Tv LG LA690 and the camera is LG AN-VC500. Can I have group video calls with my son using a laptop (I do not know what is the model but it is not Mac) and my daugther using a laptop that is Mac? The simple video calls are working ok but we are interested to have group video calls. We do not have Premium Skype but I see that you say that now it is free. If we can have this what I must do ? Thank you.

  • Group video call problem

    So I have skype premium and trying to do a group video call but it only connects video with one person and the other person only connects audio. Why is the other person not able to connect with video

    The person that does not connect with video is most likely using a Skype client that does not support video in group calls (such as a mobile client or iPad).

  • Group Video Calls

    We recently purchased a Samsung TV model H7150 and discovered that the Skype application is not compatible with Group Video calls.  Is there a solution?  Will Skype be upgrading the application on the Samsung TV to allow for group calls? Thank you

    Hi
    All Skype TVs can join a group audio call (ie your TV can be a participant on a group audio call). However, most TVs won't allow you to be the person who starts that group audio call. This is because hosting the call requires more processing power.
    All Skype TVs can also participate in group video calls, but on the TV you will only be able to send and receive audio (you will not send or receive video).
    The only TVs currently capable of group video calling are Samsung TVs, and specifically these models:
    2014 TVs with built-in cameras
    2015 All TVs in the following model ranges:
    J55xx
    J63xx
    J65xx
    JU6xxx
    JU7xxx
    JS8xxx
    JS9xxx

  • Group video call on LG 55LA6200 with LG AN-VC500

    Hi,
    Trying to set up group video to include LG smart TV.
    Following instructions found here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10801/making-a-group-video-call-mac
    Initiate the call by starting a new converstion on a laptop, using Premium account.  Add users, including the account on the TV. Click "Video call".  Conversation starts, but not everyone can see everyone else.  Example:
    Master laptop initiates on laptop in same room as TV (or not).
    TV is account on TV.
    Remote is account on desktop across the hall.
    Every device can see its own camera view.
    Master laptop can see itself and Remote video.
    TV can only see itself.
    Remote can see itself and Master laptop video.
    Is there something we're doing incorrectly?

  • Group Video Calling

    Is Skype Premium to tool I need to have group video conferences for multiple offices.  I want each office to see all other offices during the conference and I need to control and pay for the entire package from one account.  Does it include Skype Manager and is it $9.99 per month for each office location or account.  Example if I have 5 offices is it $9.99 per office.  Can we also do desktop/screen sharing for document collaboration with this package.

    Hello MerwynJohn. With group video calling you can get Send file, contacts, share your desktop, take a picture, or add people to the conversation. All everyone needs is the latest business version of Skype, a laptop and a webcam. Itʼs simple to use, group video calls can be between three or more people (up to a maximum of 10), and at least one person on the call needs a group video calling subscription. For the best quality, we currently recommend video calls with up to five people. For group video calling everyone on the call needs the latest version of Skype for Windows plus a webcam. You'll also need a high-speed broadband connection (we recommend sustained 512 kbit/s downlink or more) and a computer with a 1 GHz processor (minimum) or Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz (recommended). We also recommend a minimum of 1 GB memory and 2 GB memory for group video calls with up to five participants. I hope this answered your questions. If you have anymore just post them and I'll answer them for you. Beowolfv

  • Skype Group Video calls on Panasonic Vierra

    Have just purchased a Premium account to run group calls on my Panasonic Vierra TV. This appears not possible at this time. Has anybody else had this issue or has a solution?
    Thanks

    OK! I am totally with you.  Bought the Panasonic Vierra TV which boasted supporting Skype.  Then the Skype App would not woek until I had the video cam.  Bought the Panasonic Video Cam to get everything working only to find out that the Panasonic Skype App did not support group video calling.  Bummer!  Why couldn't they just tell us that before we wasted all that money.  I am very dissapointed with Panasonic and Skype.

  • 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

    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.

  • 3 way group video calling but only 2 groups can se...

    Hi Friends,
    I tried to have a group video call ( three persons from three different countries). Only two of us could see each other, the 3 person said he dont see any option for video chat he only receives options for Audio chat.
    How can we three parties can conduct video chat?
    Thanks

    I'm using a Mac (but I'm on the latest version) and I have the exact same problem.
    Person A: Using a Macbook Air
    Person B: Using an iPhone 4
    Person C: Using an Android Samsung 10.1 Tablet
    We're all up-to-date, but with this set-up, none of us can see each other.
    Simliarly:
    Person A: Using a Macbook Air
    Person B: Using Windows 8.1
    Person C: Using an Android Samsung 10.1 Tablet
    Person A and B can see each other, but Person C is out of the loop and has a yellow exclamation mark attached to their profile.
    What's the problem and how can I fix it?
    I have a theory that only three people with computer/laptop OS's can see everyone.

  • Tely Labs telyHD - Group Video Calling

    Hi there,
    I'm thinking about buying the Tely Labs telyHD for use at work. I have a Skype Premium Account but can I use this Tely Labs telyHD for group video calling?

    So, this weekend we (5 of us) tested Skype Premium... I was very excited to get the service (as its £2.99 a day, should have been free for 7 days as per the site). http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatur​es/group-video-calls/ Thinking as I’m paying for it that it would be great. Found the services less than acceptable…
    I have friends in the USA, Spain, South Africa and the UK and the video was less than pleasant. They all reported video dropping out at different times for no reason. My friend in the UK (1.5 hours’ drive away his video was the worst) for me. I hosted the call in the UK and I have a 30MB Fibre Optic line (Virgin, and I get 30MB and 3MB upload - I get this speed many speed tests, not on the same day obviously). I monitored my link and only used max a 150KB of the link with these results. Having this test run, we decided to starts using another product with an “O and ends in an o” (don’t want to advertise other products in this forum) straight after, which is free for group video calling but advert support. Much better experience all the video work and audio was better to.
    I’m so disappointed Skype, I was really wanting this to work and to be great. So having paid the money for the service I would like a refund. I think the 15 minutes we used doesn’t justify the day rate. Could someone please contact me and credit my Skype account.
    Very disappointed Skype (Microsoft) on the "Premium Service"! This is my honest opinion and not a bashing, I’m not pushing other products merely let people know about the experience.

  • Group Video Call on iPhone and iPad

    I've been waiting for years for skype to have group video call on iOS.
    There's only group voice call It'd be really awesome if you guys finally have group video call, too !

    I agree, I can't seem 2 make group calls! it's so annoying! my friends can do it because they're on laptop or iPod but I'm the only 1 who can't!

  • Is premium still needed for group video calls?

    Hello, i remember needing Premium to be able to make a group video call. But I dont find this inforamation anymore and I even dont find how to subscribe to Premium. What is the situation today? Thanks a lot.

    Group video calls have been free since the end of April 2014.  No type of subscription is required. http://blogs.skype.com/2014/04/28/skype-loves-bringing-groups-together-with-free-group-video-calling/
