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

  • After installing Mavericks Facetime and skype video calls are terrible

    Hi,
    I just got my GF to buy herself a Macbook air. I myself got a Macbook Pro, and we were talking on facetime no problem what so ever. The stream was flawless, splendid infact! But then it happend, I saw that there was a new OSX available. Right away I said to my GF that there was a new update. And we should upgrade ASAP, to see the new features and what not. Going to be great I said. Never have I been more wrong. We continued facetiming troughout the download fase. And was not having any issues. But when we initiated the installation and after the reboot and the "amazing" mavericks OSX was installed. I called her back to continue the conversation. It was a complete disaster, she could only hear a few words of what I was saying. sometimes I got a hole sentence through without beeing broken off. Never lost the conection, just falling in and out. Tried calling with the new just talk feature without any luck.
    How can it be that something that was working perfectly, no is completly broken. I tried using skype instead, even with worse videoquality the conversations were a nightmare. So my final solution was! Relogging with bootcamp, and logged on windows 7. poped up skype, and it ran FLAWLESSLY for HOURS. no interuptions what so ever.
    So what I'm asking. I want to go back to facetime, and that lovely video quality that you offer. Has anyone experienced the same issue, and found a fix for this if I may say embarresing problem. This shouldn't be a issue at all. Not when it was working flawlessly before.
    Have allready tried rebooting and pressing "cmd" + "r" and doing a reinstall of Mavericks, did not do me any good.
    I do appreciate all the help I can get. I'm desperate!
    Regards

    Hi,
    Did you delete the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist and com.apple.imservice.imessages.plist ?
    I would also try deleting com.apple.imagent.plist as this is used by both FaceTime and iMessages.
    If none of those work I would open Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities and use the Repair Keychain in the App Menu.

  • IChat 5.0.1 (SL) and Skype Video call?

    Am new to this interweb calling but am excited by the prospect. If I am running iChat on my iMac - how do I set it up to call my friend in France who is using Skype on a PC? Thx

    Of course your friend could get AIM for the PC or Trillian Pro which will Video chat with iChat.
    I presumed that from the way you posted your friend was unlikely to do this.
    I would seriously suggest you get Little Snitch
    This has preset that allow Web Browsing and other regular apps.
    It gives you Pop ups when any app calls you or calls out and tells you where and and on what internet ports it is using.
    Like this iChat one
    iChat in Video Invites calls the SNATMAP Server as in the pic.
    After connection to your Buddy's IP on port 16402 the SNATMAP Server drops out leaving you Peer to Peer (You can log out of any AIM or Jabber Server you are in)
    Skype does not do things this way as Little Snitch will show you.
    Little Snitch comes as a trial for free and will give you enough for you to make a decision.

  • 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.

  • Poor quality Skype Video Calls with good connectio...

    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.
    The Ipad is the Apple air.
    When connecting to my Wife in the Uk the reception isnt great picture wise and after a little while gets bad and also disconects alot and then comes back with a worse picture and call quality. 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.
    If would help us if you could please reproduce the issue and provide logs as described in this link https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12321/how-do-i-create-log-files under Skype for Windows Desktop and attach it to your post?

  • 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

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.
