Grouping Video

I'm interested in grouping the video clips on my iPod Touch by subject. I realize this would have to start with grouping in iTunes, but there doesn't seem to be any way to create "playlists" of movies. Does anyone have any thoughts on how this might be done? Thanks.
Bob

I think he means changing it in "Get Info", in the ID3 tags.
If you change say, all the Action movies into TV Shows (instead of the Movie type) under the Video tab, then name the show "Action Movies" with the Episode ID as the Movie's title, you'll end up with a list on the Touch Video menu which reads:\
TV Shows
- Action Movies
- Drama Movies
etc.
And clicking/touching one of these will go to another menu with the Movie titles in it.
If you choose to do this, I'd find and use another Tagging program other than iTunes to do it, because iTunes won't let you select all your movies and change them all to the TV Show type with one command, you'll have to change EACH one. Also, with another tagging program, you can do the same for the Show Name tag, and then either program to move the title into the Episode ID tag. There are several programs out there that do complicated ID3 tagging, but make sure you find one that supports the file types you have (.mov, .mp4, .m4v). And since you're looking for one, it should probably support all the other iTunes formats as well.

Skype Premium (group video) - unable to make calls...

The Skype Premium pages suggest that group video also gives you free calls to U.S. and Canada calls. However, when I go to make a call, I am told that I don't have funds and the call cannot be made. Are the marketing pages wrong? Are calls not included?

Hello
Can you please direct to the correct department. How long does 14.00$ credit last. I was trying to renew my yearly account which was cancelled because I forgot to renew in time.
Our payment was 30.40$ for the year for the last two (2) years. but we could not find the form. I have bought 14.00$Canadian credit but I do not know how long this lasts and would like this information but would really like to pay once a year as I have done in previous years. Please send me an email regarding this. Thank you in advance for helping me with this matter.

Premium, group video, fair use, WHY?

Can someone from Skype please or someone who knows whats what explain WHY we have a LIMIT on group video when it causes no tax on Skype's servers. Its causing a lot of tax on MY computer hardware and my friends hardware.
So where does skype get off saying they have a right to limit how much I can use group video calling?

I'm glad to see it is not just me. I also have been searching desperately for a way to submit a question/call a helpdesk, etc.
In my case, I get an "OOPS! Looks like this feature is not available for your free subscription" message (that was from memory, not verbatim...). The issue is that I started with a free trial about 2 months ago, and then at the start of August I purchased a subscription and have been using it everyday until last week, when it stopped working. I can get the group audio, but not the video. I just renewed my subscription (monthly) and I dropped and re-installed a new version of SKYPe, but no luck so far.

Two questions: how do Skype and iChat compare for group video? quality, reliability, cost, etc are important. 2) Is my MobileMe ID what I need to use in the window in making an iChat buddy? It only says AIM above the window, online tutorial differs.

Two questions: 1) How do Skype and iChat compare for group video? Quality, reliability, cost, etc are important. 2) Is my MobileMe ID what I need to input in the window in making an iChat buddy? It only says AIM above the window, online tutorial differs, saying MobileMe, AIM, GoogleTalk (Jabber) all work. Thnx

Hi,
IChat uses better Video Compression than Skype does.
On a top flight Mac you can send a 640 X 480 pixel frame up to 30 frames a sec.
Skype can't match this.
iChat in Video is Peer to Peer. (you can actually Log out of the Buddy list)
Skype seems to borrow something from everyone's bandwidth to make connections.
What do you mean by Business account Tracking ?
iChat Adds (or can add) the First Name, Last Name of your Buddies and create an Address Book Entry
Whether you mark those cards connected with a company is up to you.
(I have heard of issues with earlier version of iChat and the Address Book that "saw" the Company Name as the part of the Name and linking several Screen Names to the one name
Audio on a Mac using Skype tend to be the same as the streaming needs are less.
However you have to rely on any PCs audio abilities from PCs which may not be to the same standard.
Mac to PCs in iChat and AIM can be difficult though. (It should work but it rarely as simple as Plug and go)
Skype may suit your needs better on ocassions.

Can I use group video on an internet tv which has a browser without a computer connected?

No. Current Skype enabled TV sets and BluRay players don't support group video calling yet. You can do only 1-on-1 Skype video calls.

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?

Camera not an Option in Group Video Chat

Hi there. I have a regular account with a Mac OS X. For some reason, in Group Video Chats, the option to turn on your camera isn't available. Any help would be appreciated. My Skype doesn't need to be updated either.

Hi all,
I've been using skype for years and years, and recently, I've gotten into a habit of doing group voice and video calls with friends. We rarely use video but on occasion, it can be a nice way to show something as part of a conversation.
This group has close to a hundred people, but it's usually 3 or 4 of us on the call at any particular time.
Even running the latest Skype application version, when my Windows friends can click the video button at their liesure, my mac version, and iPhone/iPad version (although that's somewhat expected), does not show a video icon at all. Nothing.
If I take the same people in the call and start a NEW group and then start a call, or someone else starts a new call, I have a video icon and can use my webcam normally.
What gives? Why is mac limited for some reason? It's very, very frustrating

Skype Group Video: Free for everyone or not?

I've been paying for Skype Premium for 2 years now for group video chat. Now I read EVERYWHERE including Skype's website that says Skype Group Video chat is now free. So I chat with a Skype customer service guy to find out why I was charged for Skype Premium and why I even need it anymore. He tells me Group Video is NOT free for everyone and that it's coming in the near future. I asked him why the FRONT PAGE of Skype.com says it's free and all he says it that it's not free.
Anyone know what the deal is?
Here's page 2-3 for our chat log:
Spectral : at 16:20:44
so if Group calling I now Free, I do not need Skype Premium? Since that's all I used it for
Jogel V: at 16:18:06

Jogel V: at 16:18:20
But you still don't have this free premium Robert..
Jogel V: at 16:18:43
What do you want to do to your Skype Premium? Tell me please so I can assist you
Spectral : at 16:22:24
Sorry, I don't understand. The front page of Skype says Group calling is now free for everyone
Spectral : at 16:22:48
I was paying for Premium to get Group calling.

Jogel V: at 16:20:29

We cannot do that just in one day Robert..

It takes time for everyone to have it..
Jogel V: at 16:21:06
It's moving Robert.
Jogel V: at 16:21:15
You can wait.

Like what I ve said, you will receive notification about this once Free Group video calling reached
you.
Jogel V: at 16:21:43
*reaches
Spectral : at 16:24:49
so group calling isn't Free even though Skype Web page says it's free?
Jogel V: at 16:22:19
It's free for some users Robert. As of now.. not for all.
Jogel V: at 16:22:27
We are still working on it.
Jogel V: at 16:22:43
I hope you understand..
Jogel V: at 16:23:01
So to settle this Robert, what do you want to happen??
Spectral : at 16:27:06
sorry, I don't. I know what you're saying. But why does www.skype.com says "Group calling is
now FREE". Nowhere does it say it's free to only "some" people.
Jogel V: at 16:24:27
Yes..
Jogel V: at 16:24:39
Because people think Skype is unfair.

Would there be anything else?

Indeed we had some changes recently with Group Video calling becoming a free feature in Skype. Some further reading here: http://blogs.skype.com/2014/04/28/skype-loves-bringing-groups-together-with-free-group-video-calling...
We therefor upgraded Skype Premium subscriptions as detailed here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34454/what-s-new-with-group-video-calling
The Skype Premium subscription you have includes an unlimited calling option to a country of your choice. This should get upgraded to an "Unlimited World" subscription allowing you to call 60+ countries while keeping the same subscription price. This upgrade hasn't seem to have happened yet for your account though.
If you don't think you will use the calling subscriptions please follow the instructions here to cancel your subscription. Then follow the instructions here to request a refund: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA297/how-do-i-request-a-refund

Group Video calls for Android?

Is the Group Videochat option available for LG G Pad 8.3? I couldn't get it to work tonight, but I'm not sure if the problem is with my tablet or not, or if I need to do an update, etc.

you can check this post http://community.skype.com/t5/Android/group-video-not-working-on-android/m-p/3806526#M45825 you will find that a staff moderator replied

Free Trial Group Video Chat

I've got a free 7 days Group Video Chat trial, and received a email that confirmed the trial.
But, don't know why, I just can't use the group video call!
Every time skype says that i have to use a premium account in order to use the group video call.
Does anyone know what i have to do?
Thanks in advance.

Because one-on-one chat works correctly for you, it is possible that you, and / or one of the participants you were trying to connect with, do not have enough bandwidth to support best multi-party video. All participants must meet all the requirements, so all of you who are having problems should consider all of the following suggestions:
If any of you are using wireless connections to the internet, connecting via ethernet instead might help.
Also, check Making a group video call (Mac).
You can check the actual speed available to you by using Speedtest.net. Do not have any other internet connected apps (like email, etc.) connected while you do the test.
If you have not restarted your entire system for a long time, shutting down everything and then restarting your modem, router, wireless access point (if it is a separate device), and computer sometimes helps improve communication speed. Let every device complete its power-on self-test before restarting the next device in turn.
If the problem continues after you restart your system, Skype's comprehensive support system should best be able to help you use their product with your system.
You can also search or post for help with your problem in Skype's dedicated Skype Discussions for Mac. The Skype users who post there may have already solved the same problem.
If nothing else works, you can sign in and ask for email help directly from Skype's Technical Support people.

Please provide an update regarding group video con...

Hello,
I do not see recent information about the availability of group video conferencing for the Samsung Smart TV. Please be so kind as to update the community as to the progress toward this wonderful feature.

I saw that and was very dismayed. I'm hoping that Verizon will still get the Passport, perhaps the same way they got the Z30. The Z30 launched globally on GSM carriers and a month and a half later Verizon got the CDMA version.
More and more, however, I'm beginning to think the rumors of Passport being AT&T-only in the U.S. That rumor also says that the BlackBerry Classic will be the Verizon exclusive. There is precedence for this. AT&T got the 9800/10 Torch, and several months later Verizon got an all-touch BlackBerry they also called the Torch. But the slider keyboard never came to any CDMA carrier. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm starting to fear the Passport will be the new Torch.
I'm still clinging to snippets of information, completely unsubstantiated, like how somebody has actually seen a Passport with Verizon branding being tested, or alleged conversations with highly placed sources within Verizon confirming Passport is coming. But Verizon's silence is deafening and starting to worry me.

How many subscriptions do I need for group video c...

I need a Skype Premium account for each person who joins the group video conference call for everyone to see everyone? We'll probably have up to 10 at a time.

Only one participant is required to have Skype premium, in the group video conference.
That said, it is best if all particpants are on the latest version of Skype.
A new version has just been released September 13th, 2011:
Please download/install this version from here, when prompted click the open or run button: http://download.skype.com/SkypeSetup.exe
This new version is 5.5.0.117 to check what version you have, using the main Skype client window please do:

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.
Use the best Skype experience on your computer
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 business model change

Expand group video conferencing to on-demand rather than only Skype Premium. I would like to use it 2-3 times a year for an hour at a crack with a total of 3 people. I would like to be able to add the 3rd person for say 2-3 cents a minute. If I added a 4th, then it would be another 2-3 cents a minutes. Otherwise the cost of $9.99 a month for Skype Premium is too prohibitive, costing me more than 50 cents a minute based on my estimated usage.

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.

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.
