Photos in skype chat

Is there an option or setting in skype so that when a photo is sent in a group chat I have to approve it for me to download it? My friend has been spamming photos because he knows it crashes my whole computer and internet, so is there any other way to stop the photos from coming in or just block him?

If a "friend" did that to me, that person would no longer be my friend.
To stop automatically caching of the full size photos:
Under "Tools"- "Options" - "IM&SMS" - "IM Settings" - Uncheck "Automatically accept incoming files".
To stop the smaller thumbnails from being automatically displayed in the Skype client:
Under "Tools"- "Options" - "IM&SMS" - "IM Appearance" - Uncheck "Show images and other media previews".

Photos in Skype Chat not File Transfer

Just upgraded to 6.21 and the promotion seemed to say you can drop images into a chat window rather than a file transfer. Is this correct and how do you do it? Thanks.

Automatic uploading of photos sent over chat - Un-...

Skype automatically uploads photos to the bull**bleep** skype web API whenever I send photos over skype. This is completely unacceptable and unwarranted. I also can't find the option to remove this "feature" from skype. I don't want a new image hoster, I don't want the internet having them. Peer to peer is far better, as I also get locally saved copies.
Better yet, only half the **bleep** chats send these internet photos. Not only is it a terrible invasion of privacy, but it's inconsistant as hell too.
You've lost a customer in me with this bull**bleep**, Microsoft.

Wait a few month, John.
Apple is currently developing the Mac part of iCloud Photo Library (Beta). Right now, you can only upload to the iCloud Photo Library from mobile devices with iOS 8, but the new Photos.app, to be released early this year, will make this possible from Macs as well. See: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
It will be possible to migrate iPhoto Libraries and Aperture libraries to Photos for cloud storage.
Obviously, all new photos I generate go to iCloud automatically but is there a way to get the thousands of photos that I have gathered over the years to be sent to iCloud.
Be careful - if you are referring to "My Photo Stream", your photos are not stored in iCloud. My Photo Stream is a temporary buffer in iCloud, and the new photos are only kept for 30 days in iCloud, then they will be purged to make room for more recent photos. The photo streams are meant for sharing photos and not as a permanent storage, see: iCloud: Get help using My Photo Stream
If you have saved photos to My Photo Stream, make a local backup of all photos in the stream, while they are still there.

Skype chat links are not opening in firefox on Mac

Hello,
I have Mac book pro running OS 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard", skype 6.15 (335), and my default browser is Firefox version 32.0.3.
Recently I experience a problem when someone send me a link it dose not open in Firefox, actually it switch to Firefox when I click on the link on Skype chat but no new tab is opening. I have to right click the link and then choose "Open URL" to get the link.
If you have any suggestions please help.
Thank You

I had a similar problem on a website when a particular page was writing on the screen. This particular page later discovered contained a code that disabled anything from being clicked on or selected etc. It was as though there was an invisible windows in front (literally there was). I removed the code and everything went back to normal.
Nothing wrong with Firfefox, Windows or Ubuntu. Incidentally, windows Internet Explorer v8 didn't have a problem since it was not up to date to handle the new CSS code. :)
Here's the code that prevented anything on the page from being clicked:
<div id="FirebombOverlay" style="display: block; position: fixed; left: 0pt; top: 0pt; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; outline: medium none; background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent; z-index: 999999;"></div>
Most likely it got injected there without the user being aware of it. This was injected back in march 2012 so since then the browsers did not pick it up and just plainly ignored the code until new browser updates got installed to handle the css code.
I have no idea how it got there but my best guess would be a silent plugin of which I have no idea which one.
The above code is some form of style sheet code that puts a layer in front of the page. It would be put into good use in stopping people from selected the page contents or to do damage to there site. You can perhaps put it over images from stopping people downloading using browser right click save image command.
I hope this would help those who are having the problem.

27' Imac version 10.8.2 webcam doesn't work on any softwares: photo booth, skype, ichat...!

I got the new imac 27 inch 3.2 GHZ last week, the version is 10.8.2. I tried to use photo booth, skype and other softwares for webcam, but none of them work. They just turned black and stopped there. How can I do to test it or it's obviously broken?
Thank you!

If you have not already done so, shut down Mac, restart, and try again. If the iSight still does not work, try all relevant suggestions from Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
(Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

Support for multiple languages in Skype Chat

Hi,
on my Windows 8.1 laptop, the default language is English, but I have several Windows language packs installed. In Outlook or within a web browser, I can switch easily between languages when typing, and create emails in different languages simultaneously.
In Skype chat however, there is no Right-Click option to change the language, and if I am writing in French, auto-correct keeps trying to change words to English, resulting in lots of typos.
Selecting Tools, Change language to French just seems to change the menu selections and Skype interface, but autocorrect, spelling prompts remain in English?
Any suggestions on how to make Skype play nice and let me switch languages within the chat windows?
Thanks!

Hi michaelwhyte
Currently only QWERTY, QWERTZ and AZERTY keyboard layouts are available.

Where is Skype chat history in Lion?

It took me forever to figure this out. Basically, in Lion you don't have easy access to your Library folder anymore (you can only see the main system folder).
I wiped my HDD before installing Lion, and didn't know where to put the Skype chat history files — as I keep those token of all the funny conversations I've had with people. I thought there's a new place or something. But in fact, the Library folder is now hidden.
Thanks to this step-by-step guide I was able to figure it out: http://baumdesign.wordpress.com/2011/08/06/find-restore-skype-5-2-chat-history-i n-mac-os-x-lion/
Hope to save you all some serious time!

That doesn't work...
But anyway, I wasn't asking — I posted the solution myself, as it took me forever to find out; so that others, if they Google, will find it.

Skype Chat Window Lacks Border

All other programs I have installed run with window borders just fine, except the Skype chat window. The contact list window also works fine, as do all other windows related to Skype, except for the chat. Any solutions?

Hi Stefan,
High-resolution user photos are displayed in Lync 2013 meetings when an active speaker does not have video enabled. Also, moving the mouse over thumbnail photo in the gallery will display the
high-resolution photo.
Looks like the configurations are correct. Can you reproduce this issue by using Lync 2013 client ?
Best regards,
Eric

How do you send a link to a photo via skype?

I see people sending me links to images using skype, and I want to know how you do that. It is much more convient than just sending an attachment due to the long waiting time. It usually looks like:
"To view this shared photo, go to: https://api.asm.skype.com/s/"
and it goes on. How do you do this?

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
This is the new cloud photo sharing introduced on Skype for Windows Phone and iPhone so far. It's not requiring both sender and receiver to be online at the same time for the file transfer to commence. We are working to roll out this feature across Skype applications in the future so you will see it land on Android eventually as well.

Recovery of skype chat history

Hello, I'm wondering if I can get piece of advice for the following concern regarding chat history.
1. I did formatting on my system and lost all the Chat history of skype.
2. Is Skype organization taking any backup of chat history on their server... And if so then what's the process to get it back. Is any free service or even paid service available to get the chat history back?
3. Any piece of advice would be much appreciated as I'm about to lose lots of important information saved in my chat archive

ok i dont not understand how that program website is going to stop me from listening to 1000 beeps the first itme i login to skype on a fresh install of mint linux 17
this is totall BS. and i think whoever the heck develops teh api needs to seriously fix this.
because windows doesnt do that and why should skype.
its bascially a god darn pain in the ass to even use skype for first 10 mins.
I have to MUTE my speakers people. it sends in 100000 or more im not joking, and it IGNORES the disable history option i set every single time
this close to making my friend boycott skype altogether while we stay in linux cause this is gay and stupid.
