Skype Screen & Audio Sharing

When using Skype, I sometimes share my screen with my friend so that they can see what I see. I tend to do this most often when showing several pictures, but I usually do it to share my experience playing a game on my MacBook Pro. It's just something we enjoy doing. This works fine because my friend(s) can hear my voice and see what I see. However, they cannot hear what I hear. I've checked and there is no option to fix this. I suppose it would be rather inconvenient as they'd probably hear their own voice.
My question is rather simple. How can I share my screen with my friend on Skype, where they can see the game I see, hear my voice and hear the audio from the game. Just to make this clear, the game has no audio adjustment options so I cannot rely on that. I have tried using a program called Soundflower, but I cannot figure out how to use it to suffice my desire.

Hi,
Please try to uninstall the default Sound Card, VGA Device/Video Card, Graphic Card, and use the default system driver to test the issue. Because sometimes update driver to the latest version doesn't work but only use the default system.
Please also make sure OS system update to the latest version.

  • Screen & Audio sharing

    I want to be able to share my screen with my friend so that they can watch me play a game that I have on my mac. This can be done easily. I also want them to be able to hear my voice. This is also easily achieved. The last thing I want however, is for my friend to be able to hear the game audio as well. Skype seems to have no option to do this though. I have both Soundflower and Audio Hijack Pro, but don't know how to use them so that they meet my desire.
    Just to make it clear, my goal is to be able to have the person in the Skype call hear my voice, and the sounds from my MacBook Pro, other than the Skype call itself (so that they do not hear their own voice when they speak). Also worth noting, the game(s) in question that I hope to play, have no audio options so nothing can be tweaked with those games themselves, in terms of audio.

    Hi, me and a friend wanted exactly the same setup and we came up with a, maybe not perfect, but creative and working solution. Unfortunately I did this on Windows so you have to figure it out on Mac. It should be possible though. 
    First you have to do some research on how your sound driver supports setting your system sound as an input source. (Imagine it like your speaker Output becomes microphone Input)
    You choose this input device as your skype input device. This way you get the Games sound into your Skype call. Then you mute skype on your mac. Take your smartphone (or any second device which can run skype) and open a conference call with your freind, your mac and your second device. That way you can talk, stream sound and screen and your friend does not hear himself twice.
    I am pretty sure there is sophisticated software which can filter your system sound so you can only stream the games sound and can find a better solution instead of using a second device for communication, but this is quick and easy to set up.

  • Can't use Skype Screen Sharing with Windows 7

    Skype Screen Sharing feature is not displayed under + during a call. So I cannot use this function. Please help. Thanks, Norbert

    Using Windows Registry Editor (regedit) open this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Skype\Phone Do you see any settings applied for this key? Do the same with this registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Skype\Phone http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/learn-how-​​use-windows-registry-editor-regedit-one-easy-less​...

  • Lync- Skype Screen Sharing

      Can we use Lync Client (with Lync Infrastructure) to connect to remote Skype users : yes
      Can we then use the Skype screen sharing feature to see the remote user screen in our Lync Client : ??
      Can we then CONTROL the remote Skype screen using our Lync Client : ??.
      Our client does not allow the installation of binaries we are suggesting (Lync Client) and prefers a generic software I-e Skype on their end. And we want to do some troubleshooting on their machines by remote.
      We looking forward to alternatives to TeamViewer that we are currently using for the same purpose.
    Shahid Roofi

    Desktop Sharing between Skype and Lync is not currently available.
    Your clients could use a browser and connect to a Lync meeting using the Lync Web App to share their screen: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/lync-help/join-a-lync-meeting-from-lync-web-app-HA102828539.aspx

  • MY skype screen continues to say" uploading file"...

    My skype screen shows "uploading new file."   This has been going on for hours.   I cannot make a connection as a result.

    Do you have this problem with all files? Can you successfully upload a file here: http://files.acrobat.com?
    Have you tried uploading on a different network? (home, coffee shop, etc.)

    Hi nedler1,
    Please try the following steps to display the cover sheet and replace it with custom one:
    How to change a portfolio’s initial view setting to show the cover sheet (and hide the contents):
    Open a PDF portfolio and run the following JS in the console:
    this.collection.initialView = 'Hidden';
    Save the portfolio, close and re-open.
    The cover sheet will now be displayed when opening the portfolio.

  • Screen audio with headphones

    how can i record my screen audio and use headphones at the same time?? i can't evan use my headphones microphone, why??

    Hey Simon Christensen,
    I see that you have questions about using your headphone microphone for screen capture audio. This question can be answered by using the information in the following article:
    Clicking the triangle gives you additional options, such as letting you choose whether to use the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external microphone you've connected to your Mac, or a microphone from a connected Apple display. You can also use this menu to choose the finished quality of your recording. Changing the quality from High to Maximum produces a high-quality uncompressed movie file. However, uncompressed audio files can use large amounts of disk space.
    The current running file size is displayed on the bottom right of the controls while you're recording. This changes to the total elapsed time when you stop recording. The sound meter (located at the bottom of the controls) makes it easy to ensure your volume level is consistent, and is helpful for making sure you're an appropriate distance from the microphone.

  • Skype/Pulse audio problem only if auto started

    Hi,
    I've an Arch/XFCE laptop including pulse audio and Skype (configured to use the pulse audio).
    Skype has been configured  (using XFCE startup menu) to auto start during boot ( we boot daily), and, till about 2 weeks ago, worked fine.
    Ever since, Skype starts but isn't functional (while trying to connect to the test service I can't hear anything, not even the dialing), and, after a few minutes, starts with a constant loud noise (which stops, once I quit Skype).
    Interesting, since the problem  has begun, once I do either of the following, Skype returns, and remains, to be fully functional without any noise:
    1. Quit the auto-started Skype, and immediately relaunch it.
    2. Cancel to Skype auto start, and manually start Skype after XFCE becomes visible.
    Looking at log files (below), I've seen some pulse audio related errors which I couldn't solve and may be related.
    I do a full system update (almost) daily.
    I'd be happy to return to the former state (functional auto-started Skype). Please advise
    Thanks

  • Lync 2013 - Black Screen on Sharing

    Hi there,
    I am trying to share with Lync 2013 the screen and once the invitation is accepted my desktops start flickering to black and the guest only see my cursor.
    please help me fix this.

    This has been mentioned various times -
    it's a known issue in the Preview build
    Some known
    problems:
    As with the last build, you’re getting hot-off-the-presses code which means there are a few issues. We’ll be publishing WU updates shortly to fix the first two, but the remainder will not be fixed for 9879.
    In some cases you may get a black screen when trying to log-in or unlock. The only option is to hold the power button to hard reboot.
    You will be unable to connect to Distributed File System network locations.
    Some systems may see disk growth of 20GB+ due to driver install duplication. On systems with low disk space this can block setup and cause a rollback to the previous build.
    Skype calls will disconnect and Music will stop playing if those apps are minimized.
    There are several known issues with screen sharing with Lync.

  • Apple ID for Screen/File Sharing Home Network

    I have several Macs connected mostly by ethernet as part of my home network. I am trying to simplify the act of logging into one device from another. One method is to setup a username and password for each Mac, and then use these credentials to log into the other computers when prompted. However, I'd like to use the alternative method of using a shared Apple ID registered on each machine, as described here: OS X Yosemite: Set up users on your Mac at step 8, first bullet point. However, it is unclear exactly WHERE this Apple ID is linked to the user. On older versions of OSX, there is a "Set" button in the Users preferences panel; in Yosemite, this button is no longer present. I have entered my apple ID in the "Advanced Options" screen, accessible by unlocking the lock, and right clicking on the user in question. On the Advanced Options screen, there is a place to enter the Apple ID, as well as an alias. I have also linked all my Macs to my iCloud account in the "iCloud" panel in System Preferences.
    I think Apple has made changes to OSX Yosemite, but haven't updated their online user manual in reference to this in Yosemite. The funny thing is am able to log into some of my computers using my Apple ID, but not others, despite the settings appearing to all be the same. I have also tried using an Airport Extreme router (newest version) instead of my Asus router, but it hasn't helped the situation.
    Any help or insights would be appreciated...

    Hey kennamy,
    I see that you want to access some of your computers remotely and are experiencing some issues. Since you have an iCloud account already signed in to all devices, I would recommend that you use Back to my Mac in order to accomplish this:

    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • [SOLVED] Pulse Audio / ALSA audio sharing.

    SOLUTION AT POST # 4
    My computer has integrated audio and HDMI.  From my understanding, to be able to switch between these two types of audio hardware I require a sound server.  If this is not correct, please let me know so that I can uninstall Pulse Audio.  Assuming it is correct, I have numerous problems with my audio.  When running multiple programs, often I have to open pavucontrol and move the volume slider around in order for the audio to play in a newly opened program.  I have XFCE's volume control set to ALSA, and I am unable to change it to Pulse Audio for some reason.  This is a problem because every time I mute or change the volume using XFCE's volume control, I then have to go into Pulse Audio later to change the audio back.  If I run a game or VLC, and then open Firefox, I get no Flash audio.  However, if I run Firefox first, I have no audio in VLC or in game.  Usually I can fix this by opening pavucontrol and messing with the volume sliders.  This is not ideal.  Ultimately it seems the problem is that the program I am using are not sharing the audio hardware, so only one can play audio at a time.
    What can I do to make my audio work as it should?
    Here is my audio hardware
    # lspci | grep -i audio
    00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
    Screenshot of the only sound card option I have in the XFCE Audio Mixer Plugin:
    http://imgur.com/3TJWC
    I searched the Wiki, but it is out of date.  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio#ALSA
    . . . For the applications that do not support PulseAudio and support ALSA it is recommended to install the PulseAudio plugin for ALSA. This package also contains the necessary /etc/asound.conf for configuring ALSA to use PulseAudio.
    To prevent applications from using ALSA's OSS emulation and bypassing Pulseaudio (thereby preventing other applications from playing sound), make sure the module snd_pcm_oss is not in the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf. If it is currently loaded (lsmod|grep oss), disable it by executing: . . .
    How can I do this using systemd instead of rc.conf?
    Edit: Since there is a lack of response, I am completely changing the entire post in order to be clear and productive.

    I found a solution here: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get- … audio.html
    You must create /etc/asound.conf and insert the following:
    pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
    ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
    pcm.!default {
    type pulse
    ctl.!default {
    type pulse
    pcm.phononpulse {
    type plug
    slave.pcm {
    type pulse
    hint {
    show on
