Is skype video call private and secured

I read on the internet that skype will intercept the video calls and they will provide this calls to the governments so my question is can you confirm that all video call in skype is secured and it will not be intercepted by skyp itself to provide information to the governments

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!!!

Logitech C920 and Skype Video Calls

So, the Logitech C920 I have worked before with Skype video calls with no problems. But after this new update, it doesn't detect the web cam anymore. I've googled, searched this forum, searched reddit and every possible form of help to only still not detect the web cam.
I've used 6.22, 6.18, and right now I'm on 6.14 and it still won't be detected. I've tried every USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 port I have on my rig.
Now before someone tells me it's the web cam that's broken, the web cam works on Logitech's program, it works on twitch, it works on Microsoft's program as well. All drivers are up-to-date as well.
Completely frustrated with this problem and I was wondering if posting it would be of any help.
I am on Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit as well.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Im having a similar issue. Logitech c920 no picture in SKYPE. Other apps are OK and SKYPE titles my webcam but it just a blank screen with spinning wheel in setting. Sound is OK.
Im running Windows 7 64bit. I have uninstalled SKYPE and updated the drivers ( AMD Catalyst to 14.2 and also tested beta 15.4 ) with no change.
Any help would be appreciated

During a skype VIDEO call, do both caller and rece...

I see this question aksed all over the internet with no answers anywhere. Why? Please could someone clarify what the average data usage is per minute on a skype video call and whether the usage applies to both caller and receiver. Thanks.

Please take a look at this support content which should answer your question:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1417/how-much-bandwidth-does-skype-need
The data volume that one user is sending is obviously also applying as data volume for the receiving user. If you want to be really exact you should check if you volume rate only includes downstream or also upstream volume.

Skype video call Blackmail

I know skype cant do much about it. but firstly I'd like to suggest everyone post up all information you can regarding the pursuer so that everyone else can go on skype look them up and block/report them. Their accounts are usually fairly obvious once you have become a victim.
FIRST PROTECT YOURSELF!
DO NOT SEND MONEY. DO NOT SUPPORT THEIR THREATS. THIS WILL PROMOTE THEM TO CONTINUE.
Delete/block all connections you have with the pursuer. Be it any/All social networks with linked names or information you have posted up publicly. Secondly if you cannot delete these accounts/deacctivate it, change you private settings.
CEASE ALL COMMUNICATION with them as soon as you have done this.
They also recycle photos with different names.
I have been scammed by Aliacate William, Aliacate19 = Skype user name
extortion for hundreds of dollars.
Aliacate19 (Aliacate William) on skype
CA, United States & Los Angeles

PLEASE search for these scammers and block/report them from everything! It won't do much about what was recorded but you may save others from falling victim.
Also follow what Skype recommends, EMAIL [e-mail removed for privacy and security] to reinforce the investigations.
IF you do some how find your video has gone online you should proceed with contacting police about Cyber extortion. They are criminals and not to be taken lightly.
"Hello,
If you are being blackmailed you should first contact the Police. Skype will ONLY become involved if requested to do so by them.
p.s. No duplicates please. Duplicate removed." - http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/Blackmail-scammer/td-p/2853839
Post up your criminal and help support eachother! This is a cruel world, but we'll find a way to fight back.

I just had nora.cante76 or something similar trying to add me to skype with the message: "Hi it's me again. Add me!!!!" I blocked the account straightaway.
Giving into their threats is the worse thing you can do. Now I will need to shut down my current skype account and start up a new one using a different name and email address otherwise this scumbag will continue to harass me.
I found out via the scam survivors site that Nora Cante or the nomenclature to that affect is a Morrocan guy who goes under the aliases of Mario Dissoza or Marwan Dissoza. You can see his photo here :http://www.scamsurvivors.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=24583&p=72811
I did a google and facebook search on him and wasn't able to find his account (probably been shut down) but I was able to find a trace link to a facebook like of photos of a football match or something called Zona Clandestine in El Jadida, Morroco which was one of the places he wanted money to be sent to. He is also associated with Khouribga, Morroco. Very likely this is where he lives.
A google search of Marwan Dissoza brings up his account on Facebook basic though it isn't actually there when you click on it suggesting his account was deactivated. Most likely by Facebook.
Other aliases are Anime Idris Kamel and Mouab Khabsi. Most likely one times uses.
Marwan Dissoza does seem to be closer to his real name as I also found his details on some sort of dating site: http://www.meetme.com/member/77885488
He also appears to have a google+ account.
Judging by his name he's a spanish Morrocan. He appears to have good english and IT savvy though he's not that good as he wasn't able to entirely erase his digital footprint.
Nonetheless this guy is scum of the lowest order and any of his nora cante aliases is to be avoided at all costs.
My incident started on Chat roulette. I have since stopped using it. My advice to anyone using Chat roulette is to avoid it at all costs. If you feel comfortable using then do not give out your email under any circumstances. If the so-called girl or boy you're chatting says they can't find your skype name its a trap. Just move on. I was so close to clicking 'next' and boy do I wish I had! The fake cam seems so convincing. It never occurred to me that someone could record your skype video call and use that against you.
I sincerely hope no one else falls victim to this disgusting filth. I think we need to push Skype hard to put out a message to all users on their site to steer clear of all accounts named nora cante.

suffering with Poor quality Skype Video Calls and also voice.
My connection is 8 mb Download and .6mp upload, my wife in another country has Fiber so is alot faster again.
I am using Windows 8.1 and also a Ipad Air, same issues on both.
The Windows Pc has a nice microsoft Hd webcam (not one of the cheapones) using a i7 pc with 16g of Ram and a Gaming Graphics Card.
There is very little software on the pc, a couple of games, no itunes, Downloading software and very little running in the background. I use Window Defender and Anti virus and have recently done a re instal of windows and everything is updated driver and software wise, including skype.

I have even had the bad connection pop up. I have ran speed tests at these points and all are showing fine.
I also have a issue when calling my Dads land line in the uk where he has trouble hearing what im saying, muffled and echos
I am a premium paying customer and started to get a bit frustrated.

@Furgan, in which country are you located? Some countries and ISP-s are shaping Skype traffic. One known country is Saudi Arabia for example.

Skype video call - overheating iPhone 4s?

Does anybody notice that when you use Skype video call (wi-fi connection), iPhone 4S is overheating. It became extremely hot after few minutes of video call.
Is this just me, or anybody else have this problem?
Phone is working O.K., quality of call is excelent, and everything look's fine except high temperature on backside of iPhone.

Using FaceTime or Skype or some other apps.

Skype Video Calling

I installed the latest version of Skype to test out video calling between our iPhone 4's and 3GS 8GB, but there is no link for "video" on the contact page - only "call" and "SMS." The other phones also have skype installed. A regular phone call does go through, but no link to video calls.
Any idea what's going on?

You can only make skype calls from within your skype app. You don't have any link to skype video calls from within your contacts page. You have to go into your skype app select one of your skype contacts that are online at that time and tap the video call button.
You can't make skype calls to any of your contacts from your phones contacts list; you have to go through skype

Incredible 2 skype video call help

I am trying to set up skype on the new Incredible 2 so I can make skype video calls. After set up I was able to make a call but have not been succesful making a video call. Any suggestions?

The only reason I have not demanded a different replacement for my Thunderbot is the fact that the leaked Skype w/ video apk works amazing and I use it daily to talk to family on their pc. I have considered the Dinc 2 but fear if I jump ship from the Tbolt the bugs will be worked out the next day. My point being that the fact that I have gotten a leaked version of a video chat app that works far better than tango or qik leads me to believe the hold up is Verizon. They supposedly pulled Skype from the Tbolt before launch for unknown reasons but I can say the leaked Skype w/ video has less bugs than the Tbolt in general so the fact they pulled an app from a flawed phone and still released the phone means their probably trying to figure out how to block it to wifi only or charge us for it.

Skype video calls on Nokia E7-00 Symbian Belle

Please advise if video calling will be available in the future on Symbian Belle phones.
Belle is so much faster and works fine for Mobile video phone calls.
My friends overseas wish to skype video call me when I am out and about.
Thank you in anticipation for your reply

Video call is not available on Skype for Nokia Belle (I really don’t know why and also would like to know why it is not working).
You can download Skype either by launching Nokia Store (Search for Skype) OR from http://www.skype.com/m.
Hope this helps.

Would you be able to try 9.3(2) firmware or later? I checked with 9.4(1) and I see a lock icon when placing a video call on my 9971. According to the new and changed information 9.3(2) added additional support for when to display the lock icon,
