Hi
I have down loaded the latest version of skype and am having problems in my contacts trying to contact me. The first time after installing skype the call is good but after that all I get when they call is a slight noise and a message saying I am busy. I have deleted and re-installed skype but I get the same response.
Please help me.
Thank you
Charles
Try first to reset all Skype settings.
Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
Restart Skype.
N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

Skype desktop version 4.x feature

I remember using skype desktop version 4.x and, back then, when you were in a group call with 2+ people (BEFORE JOINING THE CALL), there was a phone symbol right after the name of the person that had already joined the call
I think that was a pretty nice feature since it allowed you to decide if you really wanted to join the conversation or not
Sometimes it's kinda awkward when you join a group call and the friends you want to talk to at the moment are not there and you just hang up the call but then everyone that was in the call saw you sneaking by haha
I don't know if this feature has been completely removed of if there is still a way to see who has joined the call.. before joining the call the only thing that I am "informed", is who is hosting the call (with a little "chess piece" [?] symbol right after the name)
So... Is there a way to see who has joined the call in the current skype build?? (6.something, I believe)
If not, I suggest this being implemented again, since it was pretty handy for group calls with lots of members

I have the same problems How did you get rid of all the skype files?
Here is what I did to delete the files...
1. Go to the start menu if Windows 7 or below. If Windows 8, go to Search by moving your mouse to the top right hand corner of the screen.
2. Type %appdata%
3. Once #2 is typed, you should be in the file called "Roaming". When you are there, find your Skype file and delete it.
Hope this helped!
Also, if anyone could solve my first post, that would be great. Thank you!

Windows 10, unable to install Skype Desktop Version - missing "Agree - next" button

Good afternoon Community,I got a a new tablette and upgraded streight away from Windows 8 to 10. I tried to install Skype Desktop but do not get further than the screen where to select the language (within the skype installer). In fact, I have an empty grey bar on the bottom of the install which usually contain "Read user conditions" and a bottom "agree conditions and next". As said, the bar is empty, no link for privacy statement and no bottom to proceed. Any suggestions how to solve the issue and install skype desktop (not the Modern Windows version from windows store)? Many thanks

With the setup running with the gray box, does anything happen when you use a real/virtual keyboard and press enter? I just upgraded my 10 inch tablet running Windows 8.1 with Bing to Windows 10 Home and I did not run into any issues.

How do I unblock a contact in the desktop version ...

I'm trying to get Skype working on my desktop (Windows 8.1 Pro). I am NOT a Skype user, I've downloaded the Skype desktop version onto my laptop (also a Windows 8.1 Pro machine), and have my daughter trying it from her account. However, I've discovered that somehow, in some way and some point in time, I've blocked her. I've no idea how that happened, when that happened, nor why that happened; but it is that way. So then I tried searching for help on these and other forums. The instructions all say to go into Tools | Options | Privacy | Blocked Contacts. OK, I've done that, and I actually see my daughter's account there, clearly in the Blocked People list box. But then the instructions clearly say that you're to select someone in the list box and then click on the "Unblock this person" button.
That is a lie. 100% false. Never going to happen. The universe will come to an end before this works.
The reason for that is because when I select my daughter's profile in the list box (or anyone else that I have in that list box) the "Unblock this person" button never, ever becomes enabled! And how am I supposed to re-enable anyone if that button just sits there useless?
I did, however find one other uncomplete possibility. From within Skype I selected my daugther's profile, and it informs me that she's blocked. And then it says, "If you want to chat, unblock them fr...", and that's it, folks, as Elmer Fudd would say. No more instructions, no more help, nothing. If clicked on the link and that took me to people.live.com; but what am I supposed to do once I get there? Instructions that say only "unblock them fr" is not at all helpful!
So, I've got only 2 answers that I've been able to find, one by search which is either a lie or is now disabled (for some reason), and another which is an incomplete instruction set. And people wonder why more people don't use Skype? Well, if tasks were accurate and complete, maybe more people would!
So I'm asking you all, how do you unblock a contact that is blocked? What are the correct instructions that actually work?

Skype desktop won't sign in

Hello,
I used the skype desktop version just a few weeks ago and tonight I went to use it and it would NOT sign in. It just says signing in with the white circle thing going constantly and NEVER ending or signing in. I use the desktop version as it has the text box for typing text while chating with friends it also allows me to use Skype recorder so that I can do interviews for a podcast. But for whatever reason It simply will not sign in. The Windows 8 app version works but I don't really like that version as the desktop is better PLEASE help.

Skype has stopped working - message on windows 8.1 desktop version

This error message comes out everytime I start the desktop version...
The app from windows store though works , but I do not enjoy using it at all... the desktop client was always far better.
The problem rose when I upgraded my windows 8 to 8.1 , and since then the desktop client is always forced to close with a message that it has stopped working.
I did a few things that I found reading through posts where people were looking for help with their skype issues:
uprgraded my graphics card
disabled my integrated webcamera
uninstalled java
installed older skype versionstried to rename the roaming skype directory to old_skype
disabled automatic updates but... once again i'm helpless, and it seems that none of those solutions I found is at least a bit helpful for me...
I'm pretty much desperate ( I apologize if I did write my post into the wrong place)
hope someone can help me

If your Skype account is linked with Microsoft account, then try to unlink them.

Hi Dennis,
Based on your description, I understand that you configure redirected folder via Group Policy. If anything
I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Please logon the problematic computer by using that user who was redirected My Documents folder, then run
gpupdate /force command and monitor the result.
à
Is there a registry change I can make to redirect the path from the local C' to the UNC path?
Please type
regedit in Run to open Registry Editor and follow the path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Personal
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Personal
Please check if Value data was set to correct path.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

I upgraded skype to version 7.4 and since then i r...

I upgraded skype to version 7.4, i downloaded skype for desktop and my laptop runs on Windows 8.1 Pro. Since i did the upgrade i cannot connect to my account. Can you please provide me with a resolution as it is my main communication tool and i have huge issues without it?

Does this site (skype.com) recognize your account (can you log in here)? If so:
Try resetting Skype settings:
1) Exit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to terminate Skype.exe.
2) Open explorer, search for %appdata%. 3) Find the Skype Folder.
4) Rename this folder to something like Skype_Old
5) Now search for %temp%\skype.
6) Delete the folder entitled 'DbTemp'
7) Restart your computer, then launch Skype
If Skype is your main communication tool, you should allways, keep a full installer of the previous working version at a safe (multipple) place. This is not to be mean, It's common sense, and what I do myself.
Now .. where can you get that file? I've not got the version nubers here, but the current one (should you make it work), is:
http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_7.4.0.104.msi

Try first to update your Skype to the very latest 7.1 version.

I am running on a windows 8.1 computer but I can'et get this update somehow. I don't like using the windows shop version because it just looks weird in my opinion. I have version 6.21.0.104 and I want to update it to 6.21.81.104

Desktop version not making calls

On Skype metro I am able to make calls as well as receive them, and I like normal. However, on the desktop version of Skype, I am only able to IM. When to I go to make a call it makes the initial dial noise then silence. It soon offers to let me leave a message.
I've tried uninstalling Metro but it does no good. When both programs are installed I can IM on both but if I am called, the metro version of Skype receives it and the desktop version does not.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Telling folks that the solution is to uninstall FaceRig without offering any other alternatives, when this exact behaviour by Skype is seen for other applications is a tad odd .
At any rate, we have talked with some of our affected users ( this does not affect everyone doing the update, just some) and we trust that we have found the solution (has been confirmed by some of our users to get both Skype 7.0.0.102 and FaceRig working together again). Seems the problem to has to do with the default webcam settings (you just need to go though the Skype initial setup again) . The short version of the fix is:
1. Go to Steam Client and do a "remove local application data" on FaceRig
2. Go though the initial setup process on Skype ( now it won't crash) and/or visit the webcam setting menu and make sure everything is working and everything is updated.
3. Re-install facerig (skip reinstalling the open codecs if you already have them installed)
Now everything should be working.
I recommend reading the detailed step by step on the FaceRig Steam support forums:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/274920/discussions/ ( look for the Skype 7.0.0.102 pinned thread - i cqannot link directly that thread because there is a limit on the length of URL's here.)
PS: if you are the tinkering type, steps 1 and 3 can be simply substituted by un-registering and then re-registering the direct show filters ( all of them) for the FaceRig Virtual Cam ( .bat files are provided with facerig to do exactly just that) , but most folks do not want to mess with directly registering/unregistering DirectShow filters, so it is simpler to ask for an uninstall and a re-install.
Note that this kind of fix might also work for FFsplit.ax or other affected DirectShow filters too ( as this issue is not particular to FaceRig alone).
