No video with Skype

When using Skype on iPhone 4s with IOS 5.1, my counterpart can see me, but I only see a black box where my image should be.
It works OK on my iPad2, also with IOS 5.1. Thank for any good advice, Jean

  • I can't get video with Skype. Any solutions?

    I have a new MBP and when calling with skype,  the people on the other end do not get a video picture.  I have gone through the prefernces process to select the camera and have it start when I make a call but to no avail.  Any suggestions?  Face time is not an option since the others do not have mac.  Thanks.

    Ended up resetting the prefences in Skype then closing Skype and reopening it and all is well.  Thanks.

  • Bad quality audio and video with Skype

    Hi,
    while making a Skype video call via WiFi using my Z1 Compact my conversion partner complained about the bad audio (very low) and video (poor resolution) quality. I than changed to IPhone 4s from my wife and my conversion partner said the quality was much better.
    As I was using the same network the problem cannot lay on the connection.
    Is there a known sw bug using Skype on the Z1 Compact?
    My skype version: 4.9.0.45564.

    If you only have these issues regarding video and audio quality when using Skype then you would be best to speak with the developer of that application as they would keep their own records of such issues.

  • Using ichat video with Skype friends

    Please can you help?
    Using my system ichat audio and video Mac to Mac works well. (My AIM screen name is [email protected]) Using Skype audio with Microsoft friends works well too. (My AIM screen name is xxxx_xxxx)
    I cannot make ichat video work with my Microsoft friends who are using Skype video.
    I have set up my Microsoft Skype friends in ichat buddies but they are never shown on line when I know they are there because I can see the using Skype.
    If I change my ichat AIM screen name to xxxx_xxxx and re log on in ichat I consistently receive the following error message “Could not connect to AIM. Try again. The server message was Auth:BadDbStatus”
    Apologies if there is a simple answer but I have just lost the plot with this now! Thanks in advance...
    Power Book G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) I have an isight webcam, ichat AV 2.1 (v153) and I have downloaded Skype version 1.4.0.35.

    Do you use your iSite camera (just the microphone / speaker) when chatting through Skype to your Microsoft friends ? This is what I'm setting up now and need help !
    I'm having a conference in my office and my business partner is overseas and would like to be included in the conversation. Just by using the speaker and microphone on the iSite via Skype's system, will this work ?
    cheers in advance !

    Can you see your webcam in the device manger?
    Do you have the right driver (win8)?

  • Is apple going to fix the problems with skype

    There is a major problem with dropped IM and video with Skype from the apple products. What is being done about this?

    Is the issue just with Skype or FaceTime as well?
    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    Have you tried deleting the app and reinstalling ?

  • Video on skype not workin only in facetime and photo booth appears to be a common problem amongst user with a recently bought macbook air

    Video on skype not working. Only functioning in facetime and photo booth. Seems to be a common problem amongst users having bought a new macbook air recently. When you go to Preference and click on audio/video item video works but when clicking on another menue and returning to audio/videio picture is gone. Understand has something to do with a recent update von Apple (10.8.5... missing file for 32 bit version).
    Anybody there to give me an advice?
    Thanks.

    Wait until a fix is available from Apple or Skype.
    Best.

    Then all you need is an external compatible webcam with your Mac Mini.  Skype is currently compatible with your Mac and operating system

  • HT1338 why is the video not working with skype on this os

    why is the video not working with skype on this os

    Try this:
    Quit Skype.
    Click on the desktop so Finder is active. Hold the option key down and click on Go in the menu bar.
    In the drop down, select Library.
    Open the Library folder and scroll down to Preferences.
    In that folder, there is a file called com.skype.skype.plist. Trash that file.
    Now try Skype.

    Any suggestion on the standard definition camcorder?
    thanks
    I use Sony DCR-TRV17 and DCR-TRV70, but any brand and model (even used if in working order) will do so long as it is a Mac OS X compatible mini-DV camcorder that connects via Firewire.
    Some cams that offer USB webcam connection may work with Skype, but they may not work with some of Apple's older video-capable software. Therefore, it is best to stay with Firewire connection if you are concerned with maximum compatibility.
    Info on camera alternatives: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2018211
    If you need a cam ONLY for Skype video, you can sort for Mac-compatible webcams at http://shop.skype.com/webcams/ if you are willing to consider webcams rather than camcorders. Skype sells these, so they must consider them to offer adequate quality.

  • My iphone 4 microphone won't record sound on video clips and doesn't work with Skype

    This is the first time I have used the forum. My iphone4 microphone won't record sound on video clips, and won't work with Skype.

    I have checked that I have the latest software. I have restarted phone. I am not sure how to perform the other things you mentioned , restore and reset as new... Would I lose any data by doing these? Thanks for the reply.
