Most likely you are using the "modern" (metro) Skype app.  You will have all the customization options available if you install Skype desktop version.

In any case, the metro app will be disable after July 7 this year.

  • 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 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).
    Thank you,

  • How secure is skype video calls?

    So I saw this post dated 2012: http://blogs.skype.com/2012/07/26/what-does-skypes-architecture-do/ It's attesting to our user privacy.  But we all know the recent huge celebrity photo leak back in September 1. Photos that should have been secure in the icloud were leaked. Even those that have been deleted long ago. And Apple says they are concerned with our privacy too. Now my question is how secure is skype to skype video calls? (assuming that we use computers/tablets that have only safe programs installed and that the other party is trustworthy)  Do Internet Sevice Providers have access to the videos? Are the videos even stored anywhere even temporarily or are they just played livestream never to be seen by anyone again? If we choose to delete our IM's, are they really permanently deleted? Can ill-intentioned skype/ISP employees get access to our videos? Skype says they are using encryption and I am no expert on that field but I do know it's not 100% secure. Some of these questions have been answered in the blog post above but that do they still apply in 2014? Answers would be very much appreciated!

    Skype's privacy says itself:
    No.8
    Skype will take appropriate organizational and technical measures to protect the personal data and traffic data provided to it or collected by it with due observance of the applicable obligations and exceptions under the relevant legislation. Your personal and traffic data can only be accessed by authorized employees of Microsoft or its affiliates, subsidiaries or service providers who need to have access to this data in order to be able to fulfill their given duties.
    So how about 256 AES encryption? lol
    Microsoft authorised employees can look into your voice calls, video calls messages and everything!!!

  • How to make a video call in iphone 5 over 3g without facetime and skype.

    I can't make video call to other device iver 3g. Now what can i do?

    You cannot make 3G video calls via your wireless carrier on iPhone.
    You can only make Internet Video Calls.
    For some reason Apple Doesn't has that feature.

  • How to make a video call on Z1

    Hello,
    I am unable to find any option to make aa video call in my Z1 while an on other handset like Nokia N8, lenovo P770, Samsung phone there is an option arises to choose for video call to any contact directly and no application is used to make a video call.
    Plz suggest me to make a video call option on 3G network.

    Unfortunately most of the new phones using modern mobile OSes doesn't support 3G Video Call. It's true for Android, iOS and WP.
    I remember times when I was using it on my old Symbian phones and even feature phones but since iOS and Android took over mobile world no one remember that feature anymore.
