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:

Make sure to disable automatic updates:

Fresh installed arch hanged with Skype in wmii during video call.

Fresh installed arch hanged with Skype in wmi during video call. The keyboard stopped reacting to any keys, including Ctrl+Alt+F1 (F2, F3, F4, F5, F6), Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
The timer was actually working but updating in 3-5 seconds. While I had powerful laptop (i5 2.6GHz, 8Gb RAM). So,... I had to use power button to restart.
Any ideas how to avoid this in future?
Dis anybody experience similar issue?

Webcam controller box popping up during video call...

Hello. I am using Skype to make basic video calls. I have a Logitech HD Pro Webcam C910. The webcam controller box keeps popping up during video calls w/o my doing anything. How can I get this behavior to stop? Thanks.

This a configuration issue with your Logitech software, not with Skype.
1. Launch the Logitech Webcam Software
2. Select "Preferences" in the top right-hand corner of the window
3. Click on the "General" tab
4. Uncheck "Auto-Launch Webcam Controller"
5. Click "Save"

IPod 5G Freezes during Video Playback

iPod freezes during video playback. Does anybody else have this problem?
Usually freezes up about 10 minutes into a video, and then complety locks up. This usually requires 2 to 3 restarts untill it comes back working properly.

Mine does the same. It really only happens to me when I try to navigate thru menus when video is playing. I usually have to do a forced Reset. I truly think that introducing video on the iPod was not ready for primetime as it is very sluggish, buggy and sensitive during playbabck of video. No problems with music whatsoever but I am frustrated with the very finicky video qualities of this thing.

My iPad Air always freezes during FaceTime calls using wifi. I switch to my iPhone 5c on the same wifi, and it never freezes while I'm sitting in the same location. Is there maybe a setting I have that is causes this? I am un to date on the OS also.

My iPad Air always freezes during FaceTime calls using wifi. I switch to my iPhone 5c on the same wifi, and it never freezes while I'm sitting in the same location. Is there maybe a setting I have that is causes this? I am up to date on the OS 7.1.1. Video and audio is froze on my end, only video freezes on the other end. It doesn't make a difference who makes the call either.

No, there isn't any setting that you are missing. Have you tried force closing FaceTime, and resetting your iPad?
In order to close FaceTime, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that does not make a difference, you could try resetting all settings, if you reset all settings you will have to enter all of the device preferences again in the settings app. That takes some time to accomplish, but you will not lose my data, media, apps or anything like that. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings.
If that doesn't help, the next step would be to restore the iOS software. Backup your iPad first, restore the iOS, then restore the backup.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Hi
Just to correct GerdW - the vis of a polymorphic vi do not have to have the same output.
Have a look at the vis I attached. I just pass a dbl to a polymorphic vi and get a dbl in one vi and a string in the other.
The real problem is that the vi has to be set to the necessary type. If there are different inputs you just can wire them to the polymorphic vi, but this does not work with the outputs, so you have to set the type.
Hope this helps.

Why does my Flash Player keep freezing during video play back?

I have the very lastest version for Windows 7 64bit OS and it keeps freezing during video play back. The previous versions did not do this. I have to keep the cursor moving inside the video window to prevent the player freezing. I have deslected HARDWARE ACCELERATION and it does not help. Why is this happening and how do I correct this situation?

Right click ANY Flash content and choose "Setings".
Click the folder icon (center tab) and increase the storage to at least 10Mb.

When you are on a video call, you may see a very small picture-in-picture window (thumbnail size). This is the picture of yourself. Click on it and it will be enlarged.

Skype 4.4.507 on Blackberry Z30, No speakerphone during video calls

I'm trying to solve why when i make a video call in skype the only sound from the phone comes from the top internal speak and not the speakerphone, making it impossible to hear the other person unless i hold the phone to my head like a call, making video calls kinda pointless.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I have 3 more weeks to decide if i want to keep this phone and this might be a deal breaker.

You can also use headphones actually they did that this way in order the person you are talking to not to hear his voice...

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.

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.

Runtime error during video calls - "pure virtual f...

When I video call someone, about 10-30 seconds into the call my video freezes and subsequently vanishes on the other end of the call, and I get a popup error titled "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" with the body:
"Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe
R6025
- pure virtual function call"
On my end of the call, I can still see my own video and the other person's video. If I click OK or X on the error message, Skype crashes.
If I call someone without video, Skype does not crash. If I later add video, Skype crashes similarly. If the other person has video and I don't, Skype does not crash; if I have video and they don't, Skype does crash. Skype does not crash while previewing my video in the video options.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. I've updated Skype a few times since this started happening, and it only started happening when I was forced to update by being signed out. It does not happen on my other computer.
Any help would be appreciated.

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit version).
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

During video calls, constantly changing video form...

Hello there!
when I make video calls on my Kindle Fire HDX 7, the video format on my side often changes. It will suddenly cycle through 2 or 3 aspect ratio settings, and each time it changes there is a BING or PEEP or BEEP sound.
I think this is minimized when I sit in one place, hold the tablet still, and dont make any wild movements.
Anyways, this is very disruptive, and makes video calling with Skype on this device not very satisfying.
So, thanks for any tips ahead of time!

I contacted Amazon with a chat help session, and did not receive any helpful advice. Got the suggestion to try Viber to see if that works.
This must be an issue with Skype, so its too bad no input is coming from anyone on the inside... ahem. The fact that Skype comes preinstalled on the HDX lead me to believe that it would be optimized for the device, which was clearly not the case... yet anyways.
My solution: ditch the Kindle Fire HDX. Skyping was one of my main reasons to have one, and it works quite poorly. This shouldnt be a challenge for a device with such a powerful processor.

Webcam Randomly Turning Off During Video Calls

During a video call, my video will randomly stop. I can start it again without problem, but would love to figure out why this is occurring, so that I can stop it from happening. My video is showing perfectly fine in the Audio/Video settings.
The camera is showing as a FaceTime HD Camera. I'm on Yosemite 10.10.1 with Skype version 7.0 (653).
Has anybody experienced this before and know how to fix it?

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not alone. I've had my pre for about 6 weeks and I love it. So... I bought an INVISI-SHIELD for over $20 at Best Buy. Then the flickering and blank screens started a few days later. The only difference was the new protective, invisible, EXPENSIVE piece of plastic - so I trim it back to just the face (assuming it was a side sensor glitch) but it still didn't stop it. So I peeled off the skin tonight and it seems to be fine... for the time being.
A WARNING would've been nice before I spent my money. I want to be reimbursed by Sprint! Thanks community - it was nice to get help from YOU!

5800XM freezes during the call

Hi,
I have had 2 times issue that phone screen freezes during call. No keys helped, but ON/OFFswitch. Updated to last version of v40.0.005.
Don't remember the exact conditions or sequece of actions, just got unpleasant case.
I noticed also that batteryindicator showed 1 stripe of battery. After restart , the battery was full. Is this expected action for this phone? Should Itake it back to service?
My phone is used ~1 week, so there can't be any issues caused by wrong usage.

It's verry tempting to make you do a soft reset as it often clear out glitches, but it might as well be a faulty fw install, sou you will need to reflash.
When did the issues occure? -After installing some apps, or doing something with the simcard, memorycard etc?
It's likely that a nokia care point would just reflash and reset it, so you could do that your self.
Back up your content with pc suite and diall *#7370# and security code 12345. Then perform a format of the memorycard (back up music and pics if you have any) . Maybe go for a reflash to if you have the possibility.
If this does not help, and it freezes more often - you should take it to a Nokia care point and tell them what you have done, and let them look at it. Might be a faulty memorycard, but it could be something else that's hard to know about - especially for us who cannot see the phone.
