Skype doesn't present option for video calls

I recently upgraded from Windows XP to 7. Video call is not shown as an option for a call. Video and audio test fine. Any ideas?
Thanks, ButchD

Hope this fits here.Is anyone using the 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.

How can we use K900 for video call over wifi or 3G

Do we have video calling feature like samsung provides over 3G or wifi? I dont see any option while dialing a number.
thanks

@vinashar,
I would recommend 3rd party apps such as Line or Skype for video calls ... As for future plans to implement video calls in the Lenovo dialer, I am not sure.
Thanks

HELP! My iTunes & iPod don't have option for VIDEO???

I have a 30gb iPod and the latest version of iTunes 6.03 (something like that). I downloaded a tv show from iTunes so I can try to put it in the ipod... When I plug it in, the Music and Pictures update by itself BUT the VIDEO doesn't update to the ipod at all eventho the box is checked..
1.)So I go to Edit> Prefferences> Ipod tab. It doesn't give me an option for VIDEO. It only says Music, Podcasts, Photos, Contacts, and Calendars. So I'm stuck right there.
2.) I tried to Click and Drag to my ipod but it doesn't let me do that either. I can drag it anywhere except to my ipod =(
3.) I tried to Right Click on the tv show> Get Info> Option>
(I read that you have to change the Video Kind to anything other than [Tv Shows]. I tried to do that but it doesn't give me that option. I can't select to change it. It's stuck on [Tv Shows])
4.) I even tried to Restore my ipod 2 times. It's a waste of time.
I think my main problem is that I don't have the Video option on my iPod or iTunes eventho I restored and updated 2 times. Maybe if I can figure out how to get the Video option on there then I can figure out how to put the videos on my ipod!
CAN Someone PLEASE HELP ME????

There isn't a "video" option for iTunes, so you can scratch that from your list of concerns.
Huh? What's this a picture of?
Syncing videos to your iPod
and my stuff all plays and transfers just fine.
And you get it onto the iPod how?

Hi ,
It is not clear what the specifications of your setup are supposed to look like . However could take a look at "
Cisco Virtualization Experience Media Engine" since you plan on having voice and video in a virtualized environment :

My ipod touch 4g doesn't show option for ios update in setting-general page. Can i update it via itunes by connecting it to computer?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode ue one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Itunes says i must enter passcode on iphone but iphone only gives option for emergency calls

My sim card is inserted and when I turn the iphone on it only gives the option for emergncy calls, when i connect to itunes it says the phone is locked and i need to enter the passcode on the phone but i cannot enter pass cose on phone as it doesnt give me the option.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You're gonna have to force the phone into recovery mode:
Turn your phone off. If you cannot turn off your phone using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When your phone turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

Using Skype for video call on iPad2

I installed Skype for iPad and when I try to place a video call, the video button is present but not active. I have gone through the audio test call several times and that works fine. How do I activate the video function?

Barry-
Looking at preferences and settings, I can not find any way to change access to the video button. I see it is not active when you place a call to the audio test server, but that is to be expected.
I had a problem with the Macintosh iChat video program, where video was not available when my internet access was too slow to support video. I do not know if that applies to Skype or not. If you can have someone call you using their video button to make the call, your Skype video may activate and work correctly in the future.

How to install Skype/viber for video calling on ZTE open C firefoxOS mobile

I have problem in installing Skype/viber video calling app on my ZTE open C
Firefox OS mobile every time I try it directs me to google play store which identify only

Unfortunately, Skype or Viber is not available for Firefox OS at this moment. There are alternative chat apps that are available in the Marketplace however, I don't think it supports Skype or Viber at this moment.

There is nothing whatsoever misleading about how FactTime is described by Apple. It works EXACTY as stated. If you are mislead, it's due to your inadequate reading comprehension or lack of effort reading what Apple actually said.
There is no "international" standard for cell phone video calling. Most other phones use proprietary systems or 3rd party apps such as Skype (which also works on iPhones). FaceTime is on WiFi internet connections only because all carriers have refused to allow it on their cell networks due to the huge number of iPhones. The FaceTime standard is open source and other manufacturers are free to implement it, but have refused so far.

Any Fix For Video Calling Since Releases of versio...

Still stuck on Verson 6.22.0.107 Due to a bug (downgrade) that was intruduced in Version 7.x
In Version 6.2 Im able to activaily join a 100+ chat group, type /golive, have people join the call and share my webcam (buttons avlilble)
In version 7.x.xxx Im able to activaily Join a 100+ chat Group, Type /golive, have people join the call but NOT share my webcam, (The buttons grayed out)
There is no reason for the latest version of skype to have webcam disabled in a large chat like this. Exspecially when the prevouse version CAN do it.
This makes my FaceRig, and ManyCam become super redundent when Im not able to use them during a large skype call.
I personally demand a fix for this or Ill be staying on version 6.22.0.107 for the rest of skype life.

Thank you for the comments so far.
The Audio MIDI Setup is (and has been) set for 44100, 2channel, 16 bit.
I've found that it apparently has to do with Quicktime 7 (I'm using 7.0.4, now) When I use QT 6 (which is what came with the install disk, and after an archive and install) The problem is not there--no stuttering of the video at all. Also, there seems to be no writing to the disk during playback in QT 6. When I upgraded to QT 7, because it's apparently needed for iLife, 06, the writing to the disk occurs during video playback. It stutters exactly when this occurs.
So, it seems to be a situation with not having enough cache to handle disk writes during playback. Does anyone know what is causing either the disk writes during playback, or, if there's a way to increase the player's cache for video playback from an internal drive?. Oh, and I am using QT Pro.
It seems I have a choice of going back to an earlier version of QT, and an earlier version of iTunes, or coming up with a way to stop the disk writing during playback. Could it be caused by the serial disk interface rather than the old standard ATA parallel interface that used to be used? Does anyone know a way to increase the QT cache (for video playback from internal drives)?
So far, I've tried:
Archive and Install of Tiger, then update to 10.4.5,
Reinstall of QT 7.0.4 from 6
Turned off Spotlight (using Terminal)
Set processor to not nap (which doesn't hold through a reboot)
Set processor to Maximum processing
Tried using only single processor
No resolution yet.

Why do I have to use a 3rd party for video calling...

I have downloaded the newest version of skype, and it says I am using BtvStack.exe for Skype. It will not allow me to make video calls from my desktop. How can I change this!? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you are not using any Bluetooth devices with Skype, then you don't need this BtvStack.exe application at all.
In Skype open Tools -> Options -> Advanced settings. At the bottom of this screen you should see a menu item saying “Manage other programs access to Skype”. Click on this menu. Do you see any applications listed there?
If you see BtvStack.exe in the list, then remove this application.

Restricting bandwidth for video calls on 9971 devices

Hi,
I've got a 9971 hanging of a relatively poor ADSL line and I need to restrict the bandwidth it uses when making a video. It works when it's configured to be in a location with high BW, but when I created a new Location and restricted the video BW to 400Kbps, I can't make video calls anymore. I then tried increments of 100Kbps until it began to work at 1000Kbps.
Am I missing something here? Can I set the video resolution for sending on 9971 devices.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
You should be setting the bandwidth parameter under REGION and not LOCATION. REGION will allow you to set the "Max Video Call Bit Rate" on a per call basis.
From the SRND document at https://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/srnd/7x/video.html#wp1046094, there is a very well written explanation on how the video bandwidth can be modified:
"The Video Bandwidth field accepts values in the range of 1 to 8128 kbps. However, to allow for compatibility with H.323 and H.320 videoconferencing devices, Cisco recommends that you always enter values for this field in increments of either 56 or 64 kbps. Therefore, valid values for this field include 112 kbps, 128 kbps, 224 kbps, 256 kbps, 336 kbps, 384 kbps, and so forth.
When the call speed requested by the endpoint exceeds the bandwidth value configured for the region, Unified CM automatically negotiates the call down to match the value allowed in the region setting. For instance, assume that an H.323 endpoint calls another H.323 endpoint at 768 kbps, but the region is set to allow a maximum of 384 kbps. The incoming H.225 setup request from the calling party would indicate that the call speed is 768 kbps, but Unified CM would change that value to 384 kbps in the outgoing H.225 setup message to the called party. Thus, the called endpoint would think that it was a 384-kbps call to begin with, and the call would be negotiated at that rate. The calling endpoint would show the requested bandwidth as 768 kbps, but the negotiated bandwidth would be 384 kbps.
However, if you set the Video Bandwidth to "None" in the region, Unified CM will either terminate the call (and send an H.225 Release Complete message back to the calling party) or will allow the call to pass as an audio-only call instead, depending on whether or not the called device has the Retry Video Call as Audio option enabled."
So to make a video call on a your poor ADSL line, you can update/create the Region to use a Video Bandwidth of 384kbps, the phone will be able to establish a Video call in VGA format at 15 fps, which is fairly good. At 625kbps, you are looking at 30fps. The change will affect any new calls and the configuration is not done on the handset and not just related to 9971 phones.
Please rate if you find this useful.

My webcam doesn't show up on video calls?

I can make video calls with voice but I can't use my webcam. I was able to use it before, but I stopped using the program for awhile. And now I've started it up, update the program but it's been giving me webcam problems and I am unable to make video calls, only regular calls.
I recently changed video card and switch from Nvidia to AMD. My current driver is the AMD Radeon R7 200 series. I'm on Skype ver.7.4.0.102 and everytime I go into the webcam setting, it just keeps loading as seen in the picture I've attached. I've also uploaded the Dxdiag diagnostic. Hopefully that helps.

I've uninstalled the new driver, reboot, reinstall the old recommended driver, reboot, and start up Skype. When I enter the Video Settings, the screen will flicker black and stayed black, basically crashing my whole PC. After waiting for a few minutes to see if it'll sort itself out, I had to give in and reboot. After restarting, I went into Skype again to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and sure enough, it crashed my PC again.
Any other suggestions?

Reinstalled skype and won't see my video calling
