Most likely you are using the "modern" (metro) Skype app.  You will have all the customization options available if you install Skype desktop version. https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12189/what-s-the-difference-between-skype-for-modern-windows-and-skype-for-windows-desktop In any case, the metro app will be disable after July 7 this year. http://blogs.skype.com/2015/06/11/a-more-efficient-skype-experience-for-your-pc/

  • How to set the item property to restrict the user to not to copy from above

    Hi Guru's,
    I have a requirement like, There were two items on the form name email Id, Confirm email Id.
    I have to ristrict the user to not to copy from email Id item.. make him/her to enter the value into confirm email id item field manually.
    How to set the item property to restrict the user to not to copy from above item and paste it in this item.
    Please help.
    Thanks!!

    Just an opinion here, but that is about the dumbest requirement I have ever seen.
    I am always annoyed by web sites that ask me to enter my email twice. I ALWAYS copy the email address from the original entry and paste it into the second one.
    People enter their email addresses so often, it takes a real klutz to not get it right. And what makes you think that if they enter it twice, that they won't enter it wrong both times anyway???

  • How InDesign comes to know about any changes on document, but not saved. As it shows * on the name of document when it is opened and any changes. And after saving * symbol is get removed from the name of document. How and where indesign@ handles this?

    And after saving * symbol is get removed from the name of document. How and where indesign@ handles this?

    Are you just asking because you want to know, or do you have a problem you need to solve? I don't know how to write a program, but I think what your are describing is not an unusual thing for a  program to do. The * tells you that changes have been made since the last save, and the program reserves a portion of memory for undo functions. I suppose a coder could tell you how it works, but I don't think it would help an average user to know, but that's just my opinion.

  • How long can lync video call stay active?

    I tried to setup 2 client and wanted to see how long they can keep active with the video call
    The 2 clients are Linux UBUNTU 12.xxx + ICA 13.1; Lync server/client 2010
    I connect to 2 different desktops from the 2 clients, video call one between each other
    It kept alive for about 2-3 hours, and then the video call is terminated by itself with message e.g. "the user has no response"...... the desktop connections are fine
    I tried at least 3 times and it is always the same result
    Any idea if this is one of the lync limitation e.g. video call can only stay alive for 2-3 consecutive hours?

    There is no hard set limit.  The video call could potentially go on indefinitely assuming no outside (ex: network or client issues) interference.

  • TS4268 How to make cellular video call in iPhone 4S

    How to make video call in my iPhone 4S

    Did you purchase from an authorized source? I ask, because FaceTime is banned in some Middle East countries, and if you purchase from a non-authorized source, odds are you're gonna get an iPhone that originated in a country where FaceTime is banned. I suspect this is the case with your phone.

  • How to Make A Video Call (without FaceTime) from iPhone 4?

    I would like to make a video call from my iPhone 4 just like the way all the 3G devices nowadays do (not using the FaceTime, Fring, Tango or Skype).
    I want to make video calls to other smartphones using the below facility provided by my telecom service provider :
    http://www.rcom.co.in/Rcom/personal/3G/HTML/VideoCalling.html
    The above feature charges a nominal amount for the video calls, and does not require any data to make the call, and they are also quite good in quality.
    Also, when my friend calls me using this feature from his Nokia C7, he gets the error "The mobile phone you are trying to make a video call to, does not support it"
    For the record, I'm using iOS 4.2.1.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    After the skype 5 headache which many users are experiencing, I just found "" vtok "" in apples app store.
    It supports VIDEO and CALL over wifi AND 3G !!  It does work fantastic and is FREE.
    BUT you would have to set up a free "Google mail" address to get it to work.
    It's painless and is a great option.
    Amen

  • How to Make a Video Call Using iChat to Someone Using MS Live Call

    What do I need to do to make/receive video calls using iChat to someone who uses Microsoft Live Call (using Windows Live Messenger to register me as a contact)?
    When I initially set up iChat, I selected AIM (AOL Instant Messenging) as my default messenger program. But I can't remember where I set that up. Where in iChat can I make that change from AIM to Windows Live Messenger?

    If its anything like MSN you cant video chat with ichat.
    The only way on MSN is.

  • How to make a video call on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge?

    I have a new Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and have been unable to make a video call.  The settings are set to allow it but I am missing something.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That's a great feature and phone Skydiver13!
    To turn HD Voice and Video Calling ON, you can go to Apps> Swipe to tap Settings>Tap Advanced Calling> Tap Advanced Calling again> Tap the Advance Calling Toggle to turn ON.
    To make video calls, you can go to Apps> Contacts> Select a contact> Tap Call icon> From Active Call screen, tap Camera. (The caller will have to accept the change to a video call).
