Skype 6.3 Video Calling and 10.8.3

There is a problem which affected a lot of users of Skype: ( http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Video-Problem-with-OS-X-10-8-3/td-p/1475301)
The problem started after upgrading OS X to 10.8.3.
I've the latest version of Skype, Version 6.3.59.582 and I've recently updated my Macbook Pro mid 2012 13" (no retina) to OS X 10.8.3. (Processor i7 2.9 Ghz, 8 Gb ram 1600 mhz)
Sometimes the video is sticking to some frames and it is than repeating them for some seconds or for an infinite time.
It happens also that my movement is in high quality but with a very low frame rate of 1fps or even less. And sometimes the video is just sticked to the same picture.
And sometimes it works.
The only solutions seems to be to de-activate and re-activate the video during the call. But after some seconds the problems starts again.
Sometimes the problem seem connected to the blinking of the Facetime green LED.
I've tried with re-boot and re-installing Skype more than once.
I did not have this kind of issue before, I've checked the Facetime HD camera with Photo Booth or Facetime and it seems to work perfectly.
All of this happened after the last udpate 10.8.3.
Thank you in advance for a fast answer and bug fix.
Francesco

Try switching off "Automatic graphics switching" in energy saver preferences. This worked for me!
Apple/Skype need to fix this as this effects battery life when option is not ticked.

  • Video calls and videos issue

    after the 5.1 update, i noticed that videos don't rotate when the phone is held horizontally. also i made a video call and when i rotated the phone the screen became unresponsive and kept going on and off unless when i held the phone in a certain angle which i cant figure out, i dont know if this issue has been there the whole time because the first video call i made on the phone (via skype) was after the update. also when i unlock the screen sometimes the colors fade and become lighter, and the screen itself freezes for 2 seconds.

    I see, well if it's due to the update itself you can try to reinstall the 5.1 update with Sony PC Companion and see if the fixes the issue.

  • New skype app for video calling

    if so how does it work. downloaded the app but it doesn't seem to have a
    way to use the video part. it does call out though. thanks for any help.

    When you select one of your contacts, an option for a video call should appear with the call and chat options.

  • Is skype secure for video calling? After the purch...

    I am concerned because i use skype regularly but i call my family and my very close friend. So is it true that skype calling is not private anymore as goverment monitors or microsoft/skype itself watch or listen to the conversation . And is there any truth in that skype leaks eroctic video chat to porn sites??

    Hi,
    Skype calls are safe and we do not listen to your conversations. 
    We also do not leak erotic video chats to porn websites so as long as the other party doesn't choose to record the chat and upload it somewhere, you should be safe!
    Thanks,

  • 3G video call and wifi open network issues

    I have bought Lumia 920 few days back. I'm facing some issue with WiFi.when I'm connecting with WiFi open network, connection getting connected but web page is not opening, but in my previous Samsung mobile is getting connected and working ok. I don't know why Lumia 920 only making trouble and also one more thing there no 3G or 4G video calling option in the mobile. So could you please help me regarding this issues.

    Are you having problems connecting to all wifi's or just this one? If just this one, you could try updating the router fimware.
    Your Lumia supports video calling using Skype. 

  • Skype freezes during video call, no issue with har...

    Hi All,
         I have recently been set to the task to figure out why everyone around me cannot skype a video call longer than approx. 2mins without the feed freezing, going black, or turning to static.
    I have read almost all the forums in the community on video freezing and have tried all listed options.
    I have throughly checked all of mine and others laptops hardware for functionality and nothing is wrong.
    It is running Windows 8.1 and has all Windows updates, software and firmware updates.
    It seems many people are crying for an answer for this and reverting to an old version of Skype is no longer possible.
    Ideas??? ***Please do not reply with: reinstall your driver or test your camera to see if it freezes in other programs. This has been done. This is not a computer model/operating system specific issue and I see it as a skype issue.

    Try to uninstall the currently installed Skype version and install the previous 6.14.0.104 version using the download links provided here:

    Are you on a 3G network ? Video call only works when both parties are on a 3G network with a 3G signal.

  • Skype not receiving incoming calls and messages- only when I sign in again will I receive

    My skype has been acting up after 7.6. Everytime someone calls me or messages me the first time it logs in, I wont receive a call or notification. Only when I sign out and sign back in will I get a notification saying I missed a call. But in the first place, I didn't even receive one. There was no pop up incoming call.  I also won't receive recent instant messages unless I repeatedly log in and outPlease help me find a solution. I've tried uninstaling and reinstalling 3 times already and the problem still persists . Thank you!

    Do any other SIM cards work in it ? Sounds like it could be blacklisted.
    Normally when a handset is blacklisted , you can send and receive SMS , but not make or receive calls.

  • 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.
