Skype credit transfer to Windows Desktop

Will my Skype credit still be available if I switch to Windows Desktop?

Shouldn't be such a big deal. I'm sure the call record already carries a unique identifier - hold the call and allow another device logged in on the SAME USER to have access to the held record. Transfer the call/receive IP details and Boom! Microsoft/Skype support wanna weigh in on this?

Skype 6.1 for Windows Desktop with Outlook Integra...

Introducing Skype 6.1 for Windows, now with Outlook integration and a visual update to the toolbar. This is an exciting update because the time spent on email by many people is still significant. And if you're like many of us who work at Skype, we spend lots of time toggling between our email and Skype desktop clients. Now it's really convenient to send a Skype instant message, start a free Skype to Skype call, or make a call to any mobile or landline - all within Outlook.
NB: The Outlook integration does not work with the Outlook 2013 preview version. You need to either use Outlook 2010 or upgrade to the final Outlook 2013 once that is available.
More details showing the feature in use in several screenshots can be found in our Skype news blog article.
We'd love to hear about your experience trying it out. As we also did some minor tweaks and improvements and are happy to hear your feedback about this update by posting here on the Skype Community.

Wanted: Your Skype for Windows Desktop ideas

We have just launched a new Windows Desktop Client idea board to let you all share and exchange your ideas on how to improve and develop Skype for Windows desktop client.
Before you start sharing your ideas, here are some guidelines to help you get started:
Idea Submission Guidelines
Make sure your ideas are for the right client. This idea board is for Skype for Windows desktop client, not Skype for Windows 8.
Search before posting. Do a quick search and make sure you are not submitting a duplicate. If the idea already exists show your support by giving kudos to the original idea rather than watering down the potential impact across multiple submissions.
Review the ideas of others. Look at other ideas to see what your fellow community members are requesting and feel free to exchange on them in the comments section. While we take into account the numbers of kudos an idea receives, we also consider the amount and quality of member feedback when making our decisions.
Add value. Vote for those items that you like and agree with by giving the idea a kudos. It's a way to recognize someone's effort and to signal to us how important the idea is to you. We are using votes and comments as a barometer to find out more about what our contributor community thinks is important, so we can factor this into our prioritization process.
Submit a new idea. Adding an idea is just like posting a message on a board. To create an idea, click on the “New Idea” button, located on the top left side of the idea board.
Be sure to enter a clear title and description of your idea so others can decide how they would like to vote. Be as clear as possible, tell us what your idea is. Remember to include how it would benefit users and why you think we should consider it as well as scenarios that you think the idea would be used it. That will not only help us to better understand what you want, but we may even be able to solve your problem more quickly another way. You can also preview your idea and check your spelling before you post the idea.
You will need to select a label for your idea, you can choose from one of the following labels:
Voice
Tell us how you would change the calling experience in Skype when making voice calls to contacts or phone numbers.
Video
Video is one of the core functionalities of Skype, tell us how you would make it better!
Instant Messaging & Contacts
How would you make the messaging and contacts experience better? You can also include ideas around how you would improve the main user interface of Skype within this label.
Sharing
Today you can share photos, videos, files or your computer screen using Skype for Windows desktop. What would you change or add to the sharing experience to make it better?
Tips to draft your idea:
Start with a clear title
Include scenarios and use cases for how the idea would be used
Add appropriate label(s)
List features and benefits
Keep it short and to the point
Avoid tech speak
Do not be discouraged if your idea was not selected. Sometimes what seems to be a simple idea may not be so simple to build. Some ideas take longer than others, and some ideas will not be possible within the scope of what we want to accomplish in the next year or so.
Be respectful. Comply with the Community Guidelines and Skype etiquette.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Idea Board all about?
Idea Board is a new part of the Skype Community, where members can share their ideas about existing products and services. Anyone in the community can see and vote on the ideas you post.
We encourage you to give kudos and comment on submitted ideas as we are more likely to take the top kudoed and most discussed ones into consideration.
How do I navigate the Ideas Board?
Finding your way around the ideas board is a pretty straightforward. Here are some of the things you will see to help you get around:
New Ideas – The most recent ideas.
Hot Ideas – The most popular ideas right now.
Top Ideas – The most kudoed ideas.
The sidebar widgets
In the sidebar you'll find more ways to sort the ideas board, see new and popular ideas and the top rated contributors to the idea board. It's also really easy to filter ideas by status, for instance if you only want to see ideas that are “Accepted”.
How to check if an idea exists already?
Use the search function filtering by the ideas board – or click here (direct link to search function)
What do the votes/kudos mean?
Just as you can give kudos in the community boards and blogs, you can vote for ideas you like on the Idea Board. Ideas with high vote totals are more likely to be recognized and accepted by the teams at Skype who develop our products and services. You can also leave comments on ideas, but remember to be kind!
What do the different idea statuses mean?
We strive to review submitted ideas on a biweekly/monthly cycle. Each idea will go through a life cycle that will be assigned statuses at each milestone. The statuses are explained here:
New Idea - Sparkly new idea, submitted by you, and ready to be vetted by the community.
Comments Requested - Items set as Comments Requested will be open to the community for feedback and votes.
Under consideration - Idea has been forwarded to appropriate business team who is determining feasibility.
More information needed - More information is needed before our Product Management team can take this forward, please review the comments left by the team.
Duplicate - Ideas in this status have already been submitted in some form or another. We will link these items over to the other idea so you can review the status or track the progress there.
Already exists - This is available in the product.
Future possibility - Idea is a good one but not something we can include in a near-term product or software release.
Accepted - Idea has been accepted and has been taken forward for implementation, check back soon for updates.
Not right now - We like the idea but just not for right now, we will revisit it in the future.
Implemented - You asked for it, we did it!
My idea has been accepted. How long will it take to be implemented?
Sadly, we will not be able to provide dates for the implementation of any accepted ideas within the community due to the number of factors involved. Please be patient and let us make sure it is completely ready before we make it available.
How will I know if an idea has been implemented?
You can track the status of your ideas as your ideas are sent to the people here at Skype who can make them happen and you will see the status of your idea is updated. We will be telling you if the idea is something we are working on now or would like to do in the future, or if it’s something that is not feasible for us at this time. To ensure you don’t miss any updates select “Subscribe” from the “Idea Options” menu when viewing your idea.
What ideas have been implemented so far?
You can check the "Accepted and Implemented ideas" topic which we will post once the first idea got implemented.
Can I edit or delete my ideas comments?
No, you can't. Be sure to check your spelling and preview your comment before you post it; you can't edit a comment once it's posted.
Who moderates/ manages the ideas board and in what frequency?
The community team is monitoring the board on the daily basis and product managers will come in on a bi-weekly basis to update statuses of the ideas and post their comments.
If Skype decides not to pursue my idea, will you tell me why?
We do not always provide the reasons for our decisions regarding ideas submitted for review but will strive to provide an explanation where possible.
If I am not comfortable submitting my idea over the Internet, is there another way I can do so?
No. Unfortunately we are only collecting ideas using the idea board at this time.

Wait!! If you about to post a reply to this thread this post is for you!
You guys who have posted obviously have not read the first sentence of the long OP, let alone the whole thing.
This is the wrong place.
Post them here which is formatted for handling requests:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client-Ideas/idb-p/Windows_Ideas
If you are asking questions about skype issues this thread is really the wrong place lol. Getting an answer to yoru question will require a little effort on your part.
First go here:
https://support.skype.com/en/
Read through that page, if you want to narrow it down and search, use the search.
Since the search targets all skype forums, include which OS you are on.
However since you all are probably on windows, click this link and use search or browse topics.
Do not post a new thread without using search. Look for forum topics marked as [Solved]. Doing otherwise spams the forum and is globally known as inappropriate and poor forum etiquette.

Easiest way to transfer photos from my old Windows desktop to new MacBook?

I am an Apple newbie. What is the easiest way to transfer 7 years of photos from my old Windows desktop (Vista operating system) to my brand-new MacBook Air (OS 10.9.5)? Please answer in specific and simple terms. I'm not a techie. Thanks.

That does not create a backup since the photos are on the same disk as the iphoto library, it simply wastes disk space - when the computer or the disk fails or the computer is stolen everything is gone as it is all in the same place - to have a backup you need a copy on a different disk - if you drag the photo from the external disk onto the iPhoto icon in the the dock iPhoto will import them (be sure that the default setting for "copy imported items to the iPHoto library" is checked - do not uncheck it - then you will have the photos in iPhoto and a backup on the external drive
You also need to get an external drive about 2 to 2 1/2 times the size of the iphoto library formatted mac OS extended (journaled) and start running timeMachine so you always have hourly backups
LN
What?
I did mention using an external drive, did i not? Copying the photos to the external drive, and then copying the photos from the external drive to the mac. means they now exist in the external drive as well as the new Mac, the external drive is now effectively a backup of the photos. .
I never mentioned anything about iPhoto. Just a straight copy though Windows Explorer, and Finder on the Mac.

Skype for Modern Windows and Skype for Windows Desktop on a tablet???

Hi All. I am a newby here so please be patient I have a 6 month old Toshiba Encore that comes installed with "Skype for Modern Windows". When I opened Skype today I received an advice/advert saying that this service will cease July 7 and I should uninstall and update to "Skype for Windows Desktop". News flash.... I have a tablet and it is telling me to install a Desktop version? Is this correct, dispite that my device is a (Windows 8.1) OS tablet, am I still required to make the conversion? Any advice most appreciated.

And just in case your next question is "Why". I am just a user like you so no inside knowledge but from what I have read it is partly down to the "Modern" version actually being based on "Old" tech, so it couldn't intergrate with the cloud based future of Skype and partly down to it isn't probably worth fixing (It had a lot of issues that I could see). Unfortunatly for some it is a bit inconvenient that it's being killed off before Windows 10 is released. The one thing I liked about the "Modern" version was the intergration with for example your contacts in the people app, but if you uninstall (Or when it gets killed off in a couple of weeks) you lose that intergration. I know you still have it in Outlook with intergration for the desktop version but to be honest Outlook isn't great on a seven inch tablet either. From my understanding when 10 is finally here and Skype catches up there will be full Skype intergration with your contacts again (Although I could be wrong and that is for the WP). Anyway, I for one would love MS to consider the universal app idea based on the WP version for smaller or all tablets. Maybe someone from Skype will reply?

Skype for Windows Desktop should use Windows Desktop Scaling

Skype for Windows Desktop should use Windows Desktop Scaling. Right now, on Windows 8.1 with high DPI displays, Skype scales very badly. It is either very blurry with scaling turned on or is too small to see when scaling turned off. This negatively affects not just SMS and IM but also webcams. Since Skype is a Microsoft product it should follow the Microsoft guidelines for desktop scaling, even if it is not a Windows 8.1 specific application. There are a multitude of other applications, like Firefox and Internet Explorer, that work perfectly with desktop scaling. Skype should do this, too.

I see this thread is over a year old and still no fix for this issue. Just 'upgraded' from old Vista laptop to new hi res Asus N551 with Windows 8.1 and Skype Desktop looks crap! Blurry fonts and pictures, webcam image terrible. In short a disgrace. I hate the kiddies version on Windows 'Metro' style app by the way. So, looked up support and only solution suggested was to retore my custom desktop scaling option back to 100%. Obviously I am not doing that otherwise I would be unable to read the resultant microscopic text in Windows 8.1. So if anyone does have another, workable, solution I be pleased to hear it.After over a year though the Skype team really should make scaling for Skpe Deskto a No. 1 priority.

Upgrade now to Skype for Windows desktop

On July 7th we will be turning off Skype for modern Windows. To get the most out of Skype, including group video calls, screen sharing and more, please download Skype for Windows desktop.

You are correct that the Skype for Windows desktop app does not support connected standby. As we announced in the blog post on the topic we are currently working hard to get the new integrated Skype experience for Windows 10 in your hands which should make up for that.Nice. So the removal of Connected standby support is the "more efficient experience" on mobile tablet devices with mobile Internet connection ? Wouldn't be more logical and fair to wait until the "new integrated Skype experience for Windows 10" is ready and well tested prior to cut reasonable access to Skype for existing Windows tablet customers ? Again, do you really want Windows tablet customers ? The Skype download optimized for other tablet platforms is still available, isn't it ?

Why the free version Skype for Windows Desktop is the only one with ads?

Why? as the title ask? All the other Skype program on other platforn e.g. Android, iOS, Mac doesn't contain any ads, like the phone / tablet version does not seems to have one. The Mac version I don't really know, but people who uses skype on mac tells me there's no ad in their skype. Well maybe if there are, it might be not as annoying as the windows desktop version and they might have not noticed. I don't really care if you put ads in the program it's free anyway, but don't put and use ads that make the program looks cheap and annoys it user to use program. Anyway, I believe skype is seriously needed to be the main messaging/videocall app for windows (like mac's iMessage). Especially with the release of Windows 10 and if you're going to be that, putting such intrusive ads in the program is just not going to cut it, if you gonna put ads, do it right (at least). Seriously your ad placement is just like saying F**K you i'm going to put ads whereever i want. Skype is part of Microsoft now; It's very funny to see that Skype's on Windows (the OS Microsoft make) Desktop platform, is the skype platform I personally least like to use (I have use skype in android phone and tablet too, and on Mac). Like seriously, If you work with Microsoft, shouldn't you make a skype version that's bundled to Windows as Messaging service, like Windows Messenger back in windows XP days?

Skype Credit & Contacts not Appearing in iOS App, when they are on Desktop.

Hi, I am having the same issue that many people have raised, but there appear to be not suggestions as to what shoudl be done. I have an MS Accoount which is used to sign into Skype. Destop is signed in and shows credit. iOS shows credit £0.00. Desktop has about 20 contacts. iOS has 1. I have uninstalled & re-installed the iOS app. I think it may possibly relate to the Skype Account vs. Microsoft Account, but this is unlikley. When I try and try and reset the Skype Account Password to the same as the Microsoft Account Password it won't let me so I presume these are in fact the same thing. Anyway Skype/Microsoft will no longer allow me to change passwords since I've exceeded the number allowed within 24 hours. Any advice will be greatfully recieved. Peter PS. Now Skype App (OSX Desktop), with Micrsoft Account, will not let me sign in, but I am able to use the Account (to update this Message). OK. At last. There were two accounts, a Microsoft Account and a Sype Account. They were completely seperate, and thus the problem. At some point I must have used the same password for both. Hoever can I make a few suggestions.... 1) If you copy & past the code for password re-set be careful not to get leading/training spaces because these appear to be significant. 2) The message when you enter an incorrect Password is the Skype is not recognising the User Name AND the Password. Surely it's the combination that is incorrect? 3) Please do not use Skype to market Microsoft Accounts. Case Closed.

i should mention i already tried deleting the -v22 file.

Windows 10: Annoying "Skype for Windows desktop" notification on startup.

Ever since I've upgraded to Windows 10, I've been getting this annoying pop-up notification every time I boot up Skype. And it reads "Would you like calls and Skype links to always open with Skype for Windows desktop? If so, click Yes and on the following screen Select All and Save." There's an option to check "Do not ask me again", but it doesn't seem to have any effect, because it still pops up every time I launch. Whether I click yes or no, with "don't ask" checked or unchecked, I still get the same result. And whenever I do click Yes, I get a metro notification saying "To change your default apps, go to Settings > System > Default apps." Not a screen where I can hit Select All, just this message. This is a problem, because one, I'm being given information that's contradicted in a matter of seconds, and two, I shouldn't even have to manually change this in the first place. It should just do this automatically. But even if they do expect me to do this manually, they don't even tell me what to change or how to change it. It just tells me where I can change it, which isn't at all helpful! I tried changing the protocols to best match what defaults it wanted to change, and it had no effect. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled Skype, and it's still not going away. If anyone knows a solution to this, please respond soon. I'm anxious to have this resolved. Many thanks,- Sean

Nevermind. Apparentlly all I had to do was go into "Default Programs" through "Control Panel" and set Skype to default to all it's associated file types. Which is very misleading considering it was leading me into the modern "Settings" application rather than just to the control panel directory. Oh well, at least I figured it out. Sorry for wasting any of your time.

Problems installing Skype for Windows Desktop on my 8.2 system

My Windows 8.1 computer is telling me the Skype app has changed so I must uninstall and re-install Skype for Windows Desktop. I duly did this but I cannot access Skype, it won't accept my Skype name and password combination. Three times I have gone through the process to change my password, which takes me through the process of changing my Microsoft account password because I had to create one when I bought my computer and link absolutely everything to it. This still doesn't solve the issue and I have now reached the end of my tether with Windows 8.1. It's been nothing but trouble, completely non-user friendly and I am not a dim wit when it comes to technology. What must I do to be able to access Skype?

I've downloaded Skype Translator & that works on my tablet. Why on earth did they 'break' the normal version of Skype?

Skype credit different on mobile from desktop.

My computer skype credit is showing as £10.83 while my mobile says my Skype credit is £2.03
What is up?

try to sign out in both devices, then sign in again after a couple of minutes (not simply closing the apps then running it again). If that still doesn't work, try to get in touch with customer support for more help;

Skype credit purchase from iTunes store not shown

Hi,
I just paid skype credit with Itune on my iphone. In itune the charge shows, in Skype it shows it is canceled? Does anyone knows why?

I found a solution to this problem from user mike57 in this thread. His solution:
Delete movie from iTunes and check the save movie to trash box in the delete window. Then go to the trash, drag the movie to the desktop. Double click on the movie on the desk top. iTunes opens, reinstalls it and it automatically syncs with Apple TV. Apple TV now can play it.
Deleting and reimporting a couple of shows that didn't play solved the problem for me. Give it a shot and let us know if it works.

I have Skype version 7.0.80.102 on my PC (Windows 7 Home Premium 6.1 Service Pack 1). Before installing this latest version of Skype, I was able to see my Skype credit on the home page and when I was making a call. Now it seems to have disappeared. How can I get it back again? Thanks in advance for any help.
