Individualized auto answer on video calls

This is NOT a question. This is a suggestion!
I could find no other option for sending feedback/ suggestios to Skype. Further there is definitely a very good reason for making this suggestion. My family all live overseas in the USA. Although I prefer to have my skype set on "auto answer" for my children ...I would not like it set this way for "everyone. This is a major privacy issue for me ...especially since my husband here is dying of cancer and my eldest daughter in the USA just had open heart surgery. I could give you a ton of reason why myself ...and others ...would prefer for the "auto answer" feature was an individualized feature. We should be able to choose/ list those people that we wish our skype to "automatically answer" especially on video calls ...or at least list those that we do not wish to include. 
Because I have been a programmer for almost 3 decades ...I know that this is possible ... it would be a relatively easy subroutine in the hands of any programmer worth their salt! 
So. How about it people?!

Edit: i'm referring to the initial suggestion btw
please please PLEASE follow this suggestion! i also agree that there should be a customizable list as to whose calls will be automatically answered. i don't want to automatically answer every incoming call that i have, even if it's specified as 'contact's only'. and relying on third party programs to do this for you just proves that the programmers of skype may be too inept, indifferent, or just lazy to add such a small addition. PLEASE UPDATE

  • How can i set Messages to auto answer video chats?

    I used to be able to have iMessages and iChat auto-answer incoming video chat/calls.  I use this to communicate with staff who may not be able to quickly accept the incoming event.

    Hi,
    The AppleScript for this is still  there.
    It can be set in Messages Menu > Preference > General Section in the bottom drop down.
    The Sound/alerts pane has gone in Mavericks and sound can now only be changed for  "Messages Received".
    Although I must admit to not trying it I have presumed the AppleScript would then only work for Text Invites.
    Having said that the AppleScript should be able to run as a separate even like an App from the Dock.
    The Drop Down in Messages has an Option to Show In Finder effectively.

  • N80 AT command to answer video call?

    I would like to answer a video call using an AT command, but can't find anything to access the keyboard aside from the headset answer, which isn't picking up the video call. Turning on auto-answer for the headset doesn't work either.
    Is there any method to auto-answer or AT command answer a video call?

  • Auto Answer IPCC 7.0

    Hi All,
    ICM 7.0
    CVP3.1
    CCM 4.1
    I want to implement autoanswer in our IPCC setup. I have enabled autoanswer in Agent Desk Settings in ICM and IP phone in CCM as well.
    Customer wants the time gap between two successive calls to be 5 seconds. To achieve this i enabled the Call Wrap UP time to be 5 seconds for incoming and outgoing calls.
    In call flow, after answering the call the agent forwards the call to IVR to play out the requested number, and the call is disconnected from the agent phone.
    I am not able to achieve this till now. Is there some more configuration that i have to go through??
    Regards,
    Sandeep

    Ed,
         Correct, I had the dialer Autoanswer registry key set to 0; once I changed it worked perfectly.
    But now the business is talking about having a zip tone to notify the agents of a call.
    /* Style Definitions */
    table.MsoNormalTable
    {mso-style-name:"Table Normal";
    mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0;

    mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;
    mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;
    mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;}
    Is the zip tone only available when auto-answer is configured with call manager?
    If I understand correctly, doing auto answer via the call manager will make all calls auto answer; basically the device will go off hook on any call whether call center or not and/or agent logged in or not; correct?
    thanks

  • Auto answer feature

    Why would the phone not have an auto answer for incoming calls feature ? How lame is that! I bought this phone because I wear hearing aids. Isn't the whole idea of Bluetooth is to make it hands free, especially while driving?

    I'm sorry, but the function of Bluetooth has to do with the Bluetooth device. There is no setting on the iPhone for auto-answer, however if you would like to suggest this enhancement to Apple you may do so at http://www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. My Bluetooth device allows me to either use a button to answer the device to speak into it when the phone rings and it answers.

  • Nokia 5800 XpressMusic can't make video call

    Hei...just bought a Nokia 5800. Everything seems fine except that whenever I tried to make a video call,
    it says "video call not supported by network", even though I'm using a postpaid 3G SimCard. Does my hp
    need some config done or is it something else? Pls help.

    I think you already gave the answer yourself "video call not supported by network".
    That means that either your network does not support video calls or in the area you were trying to make the call you had no 3G coverage. Is this possible?

  • How to set up auto-answer video calls?

  • How can you auto-accept Video Calls in Messages.app

    In Ichat there used to be a way to select a user and under "alerts" (which is no longer a perference option in messages) choose to auto-accept video calls from that person.
    Is there a way to set up Messages to auto acccept video calls? It was great for when I wanted to check in on my puppy.
    Thanks!

    HI,
    In the normal setting of Messages this is no longer possible.
    I would use here to ask for the feature back
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html
    The page was never very good at keeping up to date with iChat version numbers so type your specs into the Free Text area.
    It might be possible to copy the AppleScript that did this  and make a copy and remove the non Video bits  and use it from the Dock.

  • Individual messages not sent; Group ones too and cannot video call

    Hello so my since yesterday night, my individual messages to one person cannot be sent and I can't even force skype to quit. So this happened, refer to screenshot. Is it because i was in a group video call while messaging her on skype?
    So now, the messages are not sent, I cannot send messages to another group chat and i cant even press the call button. I have restarted skype, my computer and re-installed skype, nothing works. What do i do?

    Thank you for sharing this with the Creator community

  • When I try to answer a skype video call from someone, the call is ended before I can get it!  As soon as I click on the phone icon or the camera icon, it ends the call.  This only happens from one contact.

    When I try to answer a skype video call on my Ipad (2nd generation), as soon as I click on the phone or video icon the call is ended.  This only happens with one of my contacts.  I can video call them without any problem!  But not in reverse.  Any suggestions???

    You may have better luck posting this on the Skype forum to see if anyone else has had the problem.

  • UCCX Agent Desktop Auto Answering Calls

    Has anyone heard of a situation where CAD is auto answering calls?  The users are reporting it sporadically only when they get a off a call and a call is waiting in queue, the call will automatically connect right after they hang up the first call.  
    Sounds bizarre, I know.  
    Short of restarting services, i'm not sure where to go with this one.  I've had a couple clients report this issue to me.  They are running UCCX 9.0 (2) SU1
    Thanks.  

    We've had a similar issue.  While the agent is talking, the CAD changes state to "work" i.e. it thinks that the call has been hung up.  It then goes to "ready" while the agent is still talking.  As a result, when the agent hangs up their call, they are in "ready" state and are given the next call immediately.
    You may want to check if this is the case with the agent state.
    If the state changes are happening like this, check that the handset is snugly sitting on the cradle, reboot the client PC and have them log off/on the phone.
    Be sure also to check the CAD agent logs.  I'm about to check ours now to see if they show anything up.

  • UCCX 8.02 - call volume on the tone for auto answer

    I have UCCX r8.02. Our agents are configured to have auto answer and calls drop into their headset, the agent set does not ring. The agents hear a tone and are alerted of the call before the caller is connected. Is there anyway to turn up the volume on the tone the agent hears?

    I don't believe so. I mean, outside of turning up the headset volume. Of course this is not a UCCX question, rather a CUCM question. There's a separate forum for that, and those guys may know.
    The hacker in me would root the CUCM and search for the audio file on the disk and modify it. But, that's more than most will risk for a simple audio increase.

  • Video calling - PC to Android, call answers then disconnects?

    PC video call to Android cell video, it works, but then I drive away from the location of the originating video call and Skype disconnects the call.  I had created a second skype account in order to call it so I can check on my dog while I'm away. What's is wrong? Thx.

    For anyone who has successfully received the platform exchange (windows to mac), how long did it take for adobe to complete the order, begininning from the date you requested the platform exchange to the date you actually received the software in the mail?
    I'm currently in the midst of this process - I've contacted adobe and asked for the platform exchange, filled out the Letter of Destruction and uploaded it to adobe, then called adobe back to confirm they received the LOD, even paid the shipping charge.
    All this took place a little over three weeks ago, and I still haven't received any word from adobe regarding my order. Every time I call, I get the same line: "I've put a rush order on your case, you will be receiving an email in 24-48 hours to confirm that your case has been processed and the software is being shipped." I've heard this same line 4 times now over the course of 3 weeks, and still have not received any email.
    When I've asked to speak to a manager the last couple times, I get put on hold for 5-10 mins, then the call is disconnected.
    Has anyone had this much difficulty with a simple platform-exchange?! I currently have CS4 web premium which I got as a gift, however it's for windows, and I have a mac.
    Does adobe have the most horrendous customer service, or is my paperwork getting lost and I'm just unlucky?

  • Ghost calls, auto answer machine and static interference during calls.

    Hi I have so many issues since I joined EE network. It's my first time with EE and the experience so far has been a very disappointing one.
    Don't know where to begin.
    The figures below are average number of times.
    Static interference - 6 out of 10 calls will experience a static interference. Even after few immediate attempts
    Ghost call - 8 out of 10 calls will experience what I call are ghost calls. It's when I call someone it's dead silent, no ring tone but on the screen it shows the call has been received and the timer is on. Really annoying When I have to reach that person immediately. It takes several attempts before the call actually connects.
    Auto answer machine - this ones not just annoying to me but the caller whose attempting to call me. It's embarrassing too.
    8 out of 10 callers have been complaining to me that they're calls kept on going to the answer machine. But during that time my phones been free and showing full coverage . I know this because I experimented few times where I got the caller to call me after meeting them in person few mins after the issue.
    Recent issue that occurred has me monitoring my data usage.
    I connected my phone to iTunes on my PC and I noticed it turned on something with a chain link on top of my iPhone screen. I didn't take much notice of it thinking it's probably because I connected to my PC. Couple of hours later I receive a message from EE informing me that I used up 80% of my data. That's when I realised it turned on my personal hotspot. But who was connected to it? I don't remember turning it on and my PC was connected to the router via Ethernet cable. Wifi dongle was disconnected from my PC so it wasn't the PC using up my data. Now I'm having to worry about using all my data before my monthly reload I got another 24 days left before my next reload, which is a long time because I need my data for the line of work I'm in.
    I never experienced any of those issues with my previous network provider. Wishing I haven't changed now.

    Hi 
    Welcome to the EE Community!
    Sorry to hear you are experiencing these problems. I had the same kind of issues when I got my first iPhone 5 and totally understand how frustrating it can be.
    The issues you have described sound like a mix of both network and device issues.
    Have you had a look at our Coverage Checker to see what the signal is like in your area?
    What model iPhone are you using?
    Thanks. 

  • KX-TGE260 Won't Auto-Answer FAX Call

    Just replaced an older residential Panasonic remote/base station telephone system with the new KX-TGE460 system.  Older system used to auto-direct an incoming FAX system to the FAX, which is contained in an HP all-in-one printer.
    After install, I found the only way to get the FAX to auto-answer an incoming FAX was to set the # of rings to the same as the answering machine in the Panasonic base station.  Clearly, this wasn't an  option, as a voice caller gets the FAX tones from the machine as well (and over) any voice message left, while an incoming FAX is recorded as voice on the answering machine.  Again, this wasn't a problem with the old system. 
    Also, when I went through the online support chat system for this question, which was linked to my model number, the chat (after a lengthy wait) indicated that I was "at the wrong department" and gave me the call-in number for support.  I called and spoke to a support rep (after a short wait, thank goodness) who told me that there was no way this setup would work, and there was "no way to set up the new system to auto-direct the FAX signal to the FAX machine."   In addition, when I told her I was on an ATT u-verse VOIP system, she told me that "my VOIP voice system isn't compatible with any of the Panasonic wireless systems."    Ludicrous and totally incorrect, as the system (which transmits voice signals over an analog output from the gateway/modem) works just fine.  It was  pretty clear that she didn't even know what a VOIP was, or how an ATT u-Verse, Verizon FIOS or any other of the VOIP systems worked.  Since most landline carriers and cable phone operators are convering rapidly to Internet-signal voice service and getting away from POTS,  Panasonic is way behind the curve in training its support staff.
    Just in case anyone else has encountered this problem and has a fix, thought I'd post it here; the intent isn't to slam Panasonic, but to see if there's a workaround that someone's found. 
    Thanks.

    Hi MHixson,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I am currently not familiar with your KX-TGE460 system, and VOIP system. However, I found this website while searching. Faxing with VoIP Services. If Medium speed doesn't work, you can try setting it to Slow.
    You can also try setting the printer to 4 or 5 rings, and then the answering machine to 6 rings.
    This website applies to every HP All-In-One printer. How to connect your HP Fax Device to an ISDN, ADSL, PBX, or VoIP line.
    Hope this information helps, and have a nice day!
