INSTANT MESSAGING DURING A VIDEO CALL

My father is deaf.  How do I configure Skype, so that I can I type messages to him during a video call?

Hi, 3yingara!
I don't know how to necessary instruct the following set of instructions to your deaf father, but in whatever way, let me go ahead and provide you with those instructions.
During a video call on Skype for Modern Windows, swipe from right to left (when full screen) or bottom to top (when split-screen multi-tasking.) Tap on the text box to begin text chat. To hide, swipe the opposite direction.
For mouse & keyboard operation, click on the Plus (+) button enclosed in a circle and select "instant message." That will do the equivalent of the above set of instructions. 
If you have anything else you'd like to ask about that, let me know!

  • Privacy during a video call.

    Hi there!
    I whould like to ask,
    how can I be sure that,during a video call,nobody(nor the interlocutor,and especially he) can't take me a picture or records me in a video without my permission?
    Thank you very much!

    there is no way to be certain.  possibly unless you tell them (or warn them directly not to record your calls/video calls).  anyone can record calls/video calls using a third party software, or even a physical camera.

  • Windows 7 Crashes during Skype video call.

    Hello, my Late 2008 Macbook pro running Windows 7 Bootcamp freezes during a video call with Skype. (Version 7.5)
    It's a Intel Dou Core that runs at 2.40GHz.
    The graphic card is a Nvidia GeForce with (And I know pathetic) only 256mb Video ram.
    So pretty much what I think is the problem is that when not doing a video call, the CPU sits at 10% or lower. But whenever me or someone turns on the webcam the CPU sky rockets straight to 100% and within 10 to 15 minutes my computer will crash entirely no blue screen nothing. Just freezes and gives me a loud buzz noise. My only option is to turn off the Macbook pro and restart it.
    I been experience this ever since I got this Late 2008 Macbook pro, everything is updated. Including driver updates. All Windows updates are downloaded (Even the optional ones) I even reinstalled Windows 7 to see if a fresh install would fix the problem. I tried downgrading as well. But no matter what I do the computer instantly hits 100% CPU and crashes very soon after. I've ran as administrator and still the same problem. I even took it a step further lowering all graphics, switch to classic windows mode. And made sure to turn off everything running that is useless in the background. Including programs to the point that Skype is the only thing running. and it still crashes as soon as it hits 100% CPU. and stays that way for 10 to 15 minutes while in a video call.
    After many tries to trying to diagnose this problem. I've decided to ask here on how to repair this issue. This macbook pro runs fantastic and there is nothing wrong with it. the Webcam is also fine.
    Hope someone here has an answer for me as soon as possible.
    Thanks.
    Aries~

    Anyone you make a video call with can see your IP address. However, this doesn't necessary mean that this person can break into your computer.

  • New iPad 4G internet access lost during Skype video calls, also to all apps...

    Hi
    i have the New (3rd generation) iPad 4G 32 Gb and i noticed that i totally lost internet connection during Skype video calls. The wifi signal is full but loosing the internet connection. Trying other apps like safari after the failure i don't have also internet access. After turninmg off & on afain wifi from iPad's settings everything returns to normal state.
    No other wifi problems when not using Skype for iPad, no problems with Facetime or any other application, no problem with any other device, i also have an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3GS without any connection or internet problems.
    Any idea? Is it a Skype problem, or iPad's know wifi problem?
    Regards
    Eddie

    during a skype video call my caller can see me but i cat see her. any idea what is causing this?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting.
    If this does not work, and to rule out damaged data inside the backup, set it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards.
    If the sound comes back, restore from the backup again.

  • Instant Message Application with Video/Audio to connect MSN & Skype Users

    Hi,
    Sorry if this has already been a topic, but I wasn't able to find a clear answer. I'm trying to setup an instant messaging service that will allow me to use video/audio conferencing. My friends and family use MSN messenger and also Skype. I'd ideally like to use one service that enables video/audio conferencing in which I can contact my MSN and Skype contacts and be able to contact them (with IM and video) with this service. Please let me know if any such thing exists that fulfills these requirements.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    Check out iVisit. Both parties have to install it though, and it doesn't work together with MSN and Skype. It's simply a solution for Macs and PCs to communicate via audio/video.

  • Webcan turns off and on during Skype video call

    Hello everyone, 
    I have noticed and issue with my new MAcbook pro.
    My webcam was turning off and on several times during a 15 video call. 
    It was not really disturbing from the viewer side, but I saw that the green light of my webcam was turning off and off spontaneously. 
    please note: I use the latest Skype and its a new computer.
    Any idea what could be the reason?
    Thanks in advance!

    Am I to understand 15 participants in a multi part video chat?  sounds like a bandwidth issue.  

  • Webcam Randomly Turning Off During Video Calls

    During a video call, my video will randomly stop.  I can start it again without problem, but would love to figure out why this is occurring, so that I can stop it from happening.  My video is showing perfectly fine in the Audio/Video settings.
    The camera is showing as a FaceTime HD Camera.  I'm on Yosemite 10.10.1 with Skype version 7.0 (653).
    Has anybody experienced this before and know how to fix it?

    Thank you!  I'm glad I'm not alone.  I've had my pre for about 6 weeks and I love it. So... I bought an INVISI-SHIELD for over $20 at Best Buy.  Then the flickering and blank screens started a few days later. The only difference was the new protective, invisible, EXPENSIVE piece of plastic - so I trim it back to just the face (assuming it was a side sensor glitch) but it still didn't stop it.  So I peeled off the skin tonight and it seems to be fine... for the time being.
    A WARNING would've been nice before I spent my money. I want to be reimbursed by Sprint! Thanks community - it was nice to get help from YOU!

  • 6230i message tone cuts into call - help!

    Whenever I receive a text message during a phone call it interupts the call to play the message alert tone, while the person I am on the phone to gets a loud tone their side. The only way to stop this seems to be to put the message tone to silent but then you don't know when you have a text message. Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    When i had this handset my alert tone was just the bog standard alert tone , not an added ringtone, although i seem to remember that all i heard was a discrete beep on rcv'ing a message during an active voice call.

  • HT204380 Unable to message during video chat since new iOS update. International connection isn't always great and needed to message during video chat but am no longer able to. Any hints.

    SSince updating iOS I cannot message during video call on FaceTime. While calling internationally the connection stinks and I would rely on messaging until the audio would work again. Did this option get eliminated or do I need to take another step to use it. It was simply tapping the chat box at the top of the screen previously. Thanks for any assistance.

    Hi,
    This Log states Error 8  (Near the top)
    Error 8 is a bit of a catch all for everything that ichat can't label to some other cause.
    All the way though the Log sticks with port 16402 (Good) and does not vary (it is actually supposed to  try a random port).
    The CSeq (Call Sequence) never gets beyond INVITE
    In fact this si the SIP invite that is Behind the Scenes after the Buddy Accepts the Visible Invite part.
    Specifically the second line here is supposed to move on to read "TRYING", "RINGING"  and "OK"
    5401.536763 @SIP/Transport.c:2362 type=1 (00000000/0)
    [INVITE sip:user@rip:16402 SIP/2.0
    Are both ends using UPnP in their routing device  ?
    If you have an Apple Base Station of any sort then this has Port Mapping Protocol that needs to be Enabled.
    The log looks like a router was using Port Forwarding (The listing or Port pointing at one IP (Computer) ) and that the IP of the computer has changed.

  • 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.
