How to video call
I want to video call my cousin in Dubai
Hi, LipaCity1 and adellamai… welcome to the Skype Community, both of you!
To start a video call, you can tap on the video icon when starting a call (located below the chat area) or the video icon within a circle to the left while on a call with another single participant. Provided your device is compatible, you'll be able to interact using video that way.
You can find those buttons, depicted in yellow highlight, as shown:
Conversation View
You'll find this where you chat with your contact.
On-Call View
You'll find this while on a call with your contact.
I hope this helps you find your way to having a video call on Skype for Android! If you have any other questions or need a pointer in the right direction, don't hesitate to come back and let us know what you have in mind!
Happy Connecting!

If the DroidX had a front camera how easy would it be to video call with Skype or Fringe?
Apparently EVO with Sprint you can video conference with Fringe but is this something that has to been done through WIFI? I was ready to upgrade to the DroidX but I am wondering if I should hold off for the front camera. I love using Skype video and it would be amazing to have this feature on the phone if it is an easy thing to do.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone is knowledgable about this information.
Thank you!Since that is a hypothetical situation (Droid X front camera), there is no real way to even guess how the carrier or manufacture would implement this feature because if you look at how other devices use this feature you notice that they are not implementing this feature the same way. Also in regards to the EVO video calls is across the 4G network but from what I have read they have been experiencing a lot of connection issues do to the network being over whelmed (which isnt a surprise)...

How can i make a free facetime video call? There's always appearing that my provider might charge for the call?
If you make a call then tap the Facetime button to connect Facetime, the duration of call up to Facetime connection will be charged under your regular airtime. However, duration during facetime conversation will not consume airtime.
But if you tap the Facetime button on the Contact Page, then the whole duration will not consume airtime.
For Facetime to work, both parties must be connected to wifi. -
How can I do a video call with my friend?
I am new to the tech world,61 yr.old senior citizen. I do not know anything yet, a tech connected to Skype so I could see and talk live to my friend via of video but she has an Apple i-phone so I can't yet. I was wondering if she's connected to face book can I contact her via Skype to her Facebook contact she has on her i-phone that uses Apple's version of their Skype? Since Skype is free to the Facebook users. Sorry, I can't be a volunteer. I can ask questions that alot of Seniors like me would be able to learn about this community and we could read some topics that we could use to start us off and reply what works in our circumstances and eventually maybe develop the skills that would makes us useful to the Program.
This post was transferred from its previous location to create its own new topic here; its subject and/or title has been edited to differentiate the post from other inquiries and to reflect the post's content. A link to this post appears where the post was originally added.Dear Newbie-61,
Welcome to the Skype Community!
All calls between Skype users are free, regardless of which computer or handheld phone or tablet they use to call each other. What is important is that the Skype software must be downloaded and installed on the particular computer, laptop, tablet, or smart phone that you use. Depending upon what kind of set-up you have, you may or may not need a separate headset. Laptop computers and smart phones use the microphone and camera that comes with them.
To download Skype, please start by clicking on this link: Download Skype After you download and install Skype, sign on using the account you used to post your message on this Community.
Then. you and your friend can exchange contact invitations. This FAQ article explains how to do it:

How to activate video calling from account page?
On a new computer Windows 8.1 can sign into my Skype for Desktop Account using skype name and password. Also have same email address as before. Account page comes up but dont know how to activate Skype so I can video call. Tried to instal Skype & got as far as Save Skype to File box, clicked on this, then was expecting to see Run Installer but nothing happened. Was previously using Windows XP. Have the original Skype download filed. Plus several more where I have been attempting to resolve this problem. Am all ´skyped up´ but cannot use it !!
Absolutely desperate have been trying to remedy this for ages. can anyone help please. Thanks Deborah
Solved!
Go to Solution.Well, if it hasn't successfully installed yet, then you won't be able to uninstall it. So with that in mind, if you are able to uninstall it then that would explain why you can't install it again. The program won't let you install it if it's already been installed. So if you'd like to try again you can uninstall it and reinstall from one of the files you downloaded.
So, the first step would be to see if it is currently installed. To do this, right click the Start button in the bottom right corner while in Windows desktop. You will see a context menu pop up. From there, choose Control Panel, and within Control Panel choose Uninstall a program. You will see a list of currently installed programs.
If you see Skype in the list, uninstall it. If you don't, then don't worry about it - it's not installed. Now try to install it again.
With regard to User Account Control, don't worry about that at all. It is safe to click Yes, and once you do that should initiate the installation process. User Account Control (UAC) is a warning that something want approval from a computer administrator, which gives it access to parts of the computer it would not have otherwise. You probably don't want to give administrator access to programs you do not trust, but Skype is made by Microsoft so there is nothing to worry about.
Let me know if this helps you, or if you have any more questions. Good luck!
P.S. You said the Skype installation file came from your XP computer - that may be a problem in itself. When you download Skype from the website there is a pretty good chance that it checks the version of your operating system before downloading, meaning that if you downloaded it on a Windows XP computer you may have downloaded a Windows XP version that will not work on Windows 8.1. So, if you are using a file you downloaded from that computer, just download it again from the new one. You can use the link I put in the first post. -

N8 How to Disable Video Calling?
I am unlikely ever to use the "Video call" facility on my N8.
How do I stop the option being presented in the contacts screen alongside Message and Voice Call? I could not see how to remove this option.I said that Android, Blackberry and iPhone do not support video calling on 3G - which is true. I forgot to add that Windows Phone 7 doesn't either. Google say it's a feature they will add, but it's not there now - and a lot of popular Android phones such as the HTC desire don't have front facing cameras. Facetime isn't standard 3G video calling, it's a proprietary tech that only works iPhone to iPhone, and like you said only works over WiFi.
Basically, Symbian is the only smartphone platform that actually supports 3G video calling. Do you hear the users of other platforms crying out in rage for video calling functionality? No.
Interestingly, there doesn't appear to be statistical information about 3g video calling usage out there, however this conversation on linkedin between communications specialists is quite telling:

How to do a group video-call (more than 2)?
Hi,
Does anyone know how to do group (more than 2) video calls with facetime?Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to group by on more than 2 columns in a view.
You can use Data View Web Part in SharePoint Designer and add some changes & additions.
For more information, you can refer to:
Group by for more than two columns in SharePoint list
SharePoint: Group By on more than 2 columns in a view (SP 2010)
