Skype share screen problems.

Hello,
I am a old skype user. (Had multiple accounts)
Since 1,5 year i use skype together with my girlfriend and we used to watch movies together and share screens to see things on youtube ect..
Now, since 4 or 5 months its impossible to watch any kind of movie or video over share screen options.
I have bought in the past (April) Premium account for skype and back than it was still working like a charm. During the summer it started to get bad but now its just hopeless.
We can't see a movie together, the problems start right away..
1. The screen is lagging
2. The quality is terrible low
What we try to solve it;
1. Both update to the last skype version
2. Install all updates possible for other applications to make the computer run as smooth as possible.
3. Restart the computer -> Start a share screen session and let it load for 5 minutes or 10 minutes, no improvements at all
I hope to get back to the time that we could see movies together over skype.
We hope that there are more users with those problems and that someone is able to help us out.
Since Skype Premium is not working anymore, im just paying for credit on my account.
Can we PLEASE get back the premium with higher quality of share screen options like how it used to be?
Well, i hope someone of customer service is responding.
Greetings

  • Share screen problems

    Running a MacBook Pro with 10.7 and a desktop on 10.6. I can connect just fine via a VPN but the "share screen" doesn't show up. I can browse and share files between the two computers just fine but the option "share screen" doesn't show up. It used to, but I can't get it to work now. As far as I know I've double checked all of the Remote Management settings and Share Screen options but it just won't work. If I use the Share Screen app via the VNC connection, all I can do is observe the other screen, the control option doesn't work either.

  • Skype call share screen not working on Windows 7

    To see the Skype version, in Skype open Help -> About Skype.

    Hello Skype community! I have a little bit of a problem with my share screen function. This is on Windows 7, and it used to be fine before. My friend's screen, (We'll call her Flower for now), can show up just fine on my screen. But Flower cannot see my screen on her skype call.  Screenshot Flower's Laptop is also running Windows 7. I've tried quitting Skype, and even re-downloading it. Sadly, I'm not so sure what version of Skype Flower's running, or mine. Any help is appreciated! 

  • Screen Share connection problems

    I have an iMac and a MacBookPro on my home network. I used to be able to share screens between them quickly, trivially, painlessly. For a while now, though, it never (or rarely) works. Not sure, but possibly began after I upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    Setup:
    Snow Leopard on both computers
    ADSL Modem -> Airport Extreme -> Wireless connection to MBP and iMac. (both are within seven meters of the Airport Extreme
    What happens?
    I'll try to connect and it just says "establishing connection" forever. Eventually it might say "Connection Failed" but not give any other diagnostic.
    Everything else works ok -- shared time capsules, access to the internet, etc.
    Advice on how to debug this problem? I tried it last night w/ a brand new MacBook, and had the same issues.

    Make sure that both ends are set to Screen Share (as in, receiving), and make sure both can "see" the other.

  • I bought my Mac Air 13' in August. Black screen problems constantly happens. I asked some of my friends who also use Air. They share the same experience. Overall, it is a pretty good computer. But it bothers me when I do work and it suddenly goes black.

    without more information, I assume you mean a blackout from sleep issue.
    Go to system preferences > energy settings > raise the "turn display off" setting up to as needed, say 5 mins. or 10 mins.
    AND ...
    unchecked the "Put hard disks to sleep when possible" in both the battery and power adapter tabs.
    test it and check back

  • Problems with share screen in lion

    Hello
    I have had problems with share screen since i have installed Lion. I can't share screen even inside the Lan, between Macs and between Mac and Iphone. It's like Lion would had some port block in any hidden place. Anyone knows something about it?

    FINALLY! Got Screen Sharing to work! REPLACE ARDAgent (v3.5.1) with the older v3.4
    Instructions by tchaga:
    1. Download ARD 3.4 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1350 RemoteDesktopClient.dmg), mount it, look inside the package/Contents, copy the Archive.pax.gz to the desktop
    2. Expand the Archive.pax.gz and navigate inside the resulting folder Archive to /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement
    3. Navigate to the same folder at the root of your HD (i.e. HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement)
    4. Copy ARDAgent from your HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement to the Desktop and then delete it from the HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement folder (you need admin password).
    5. Copy ARDAgent from Archive/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement to HD/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement (you need admin password again).
    6. Restart

  • Video Not Working & Can't Share Screen

    Hello, I am having a slight problem...
    What happens is that in my group, I cannot share my screen nor use my webcam, as the video button is greyed out and "Share screen" isn't there. It says I cannot have more than 10 people in the call, but I only have about 5-7 at a time and they can share screens or turn on their webcam; I'm the only one who can't. I already checked my video settings and my webcam is working fine. I also already reinstalled Skype and it's still happening.
    What are they doing that I'm not?
    Thank you!~

    This is a known issue with the latest Skype 7.0 update.
    http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Why-can-t-you-turn-on-VIDEO-CHAT-anymore-in-big...
    You can uninstall the 7.0 version and install the previous 6.21.0.104 Skype version:

  • Share Screen issues

    So my gf and I have been using skype for quite some time now.  We would always use share screen so we can watch movies or help each other out on other things.  A couple of months ago we used share screen so I could watch her play "The Sims" game and it was working perfectly fine.  However, just recently when we tried using share screen so I could watch her play again it wouldn't work.  What would happen is that I could see everything else she was doing when using share screen (we can still watch movies and many other things she does) but the problem is that right when she opens the game up so I can watch her play, the share screen closes.  I don't know what else to do, we're using Macs and we both have our laptops up to date on everything, can anybody help me out?
    Thanks,
    Carlos Aramayo

    Probably a DRM issue. Something is telling your software that a second screen is being used and its not authorized too. http://www.cnet.com/news/hdcp-2-2-what-you-need-to-know/

  • Connecting to shared machines (either via Share Screen or file sharing)

    I have a MobileMe account and four computers in separate locations which I regularly need to connect between. Some are on static IP's and others are on dynamic IP's. So all of them have file sharing enabled as well as screen sharing enabled. They're also all registered in my MobileMe account. Anytime I'm in a Finder window, in the sidebar, I see Shared > (computer name) and see all the computers there. If I click on it, I'm offered two buttons, one to "Connect As" if I want to file share, and "Share Screen" if I want to VNC.
    I would say 60-70% of the time I click on either of those buttons, it doesn't work. It takes about a minute to try and connect, then says, "Connection failed to (computer name). Please make sure screensharing is enabled...blah blah blah..." (it is)
    However, 40-60% of the time if I click the same button again, it DOES work!
    Sometimes it takes several tries.
    It's really frustrating that I can't reliably connect to the other computers in the MobileMe list.
    Does anyone else see this and are there any suggestions? There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Trying to connect to a computer that has a static IP vs. dynamic fails with about the same regularity. So I don't think that's it.
    I also get about the same failure rate when trying to use Connect As to fileshare. So I don't think it's a VNC/screenshare-specific problem.
    I've tried using DynDNS as an alternate way to reliably locate another of my computers. It fails with approx. the same failure rate, and sometimes works upon re-attempt.
    HELP!

    Goto your System Preferences->Sharing, Then select the Internet tab.
    From the drop down menu select 'Share your connection from: Kyrocera card.'
    And in the 'To computers using' box tick built in ethernet and connect a network cable to your powerbook and the other end to your network.
    Or if you have an airport card installed share the connection using your airport.Then other wireless devices can connect to your powerbook.

  • Share Screen does not work well when wifi is turned on.

    Hello,
    I'm having a minor little problem with Share Screen among 3 machines, 2 Lion OS mac pros connected with network cable, and a 3rd mbp laptop, also LION. I use share screen a lot and I am unable to connect from my main mac pro to the 2nd mac pro (via an ethernet cable) when wifi is turned on.....actually, I can connect, but it gets stuck on the "Connecting" screen and then 10 minutes later, it connects. When I turn wifi off, then hit Share Screen, the connection and response is very fast.
    After several hours playing with Sharing preferences....I think it seems like a network thing. I have checked network preferences, and re-ordered them to prioritize ethernet over wifi, powered off all devices including router, and everything else I can think of. btw, the share screen connection from my laptop to the mac pro is fine, even when wifi is turned on on the laptop.
    A simple work around is to just turn wifi off, make my connection, then turn wifi back on. But I'm curious and would like to solve this issue. It started after my 10.7.4 client combo update and has been working fine for several months before that, so I'd like to figure it out. Any ideas?
    Thanks for all the help on these boards.

    Nevermind.
    I had a failing hard drive (not the OS drive) in one of the drive bays. A couple of days after I posted this question, the drive (which has been at S.M.A.R.T. status "failing" for 6 months completely died, at which point the computer wouldn't even turn on. After removing the drive, everything with the Share Screen works fine, both over network cable and wifi.

  • Share Screen on ARD Does not work unless the user is logged on

    Since Upgrading to Lion, I have been unable to get the Share Screen in Apple Remote Desktop fuction working from Any machine. All Clients are on the latest agent of ARD and are completely upto date.
    When i try running the task when the clients are at the login screen, They just get a grey bar at the top of their screens. So it is recieveing the share screen task but not updating the image on the client machines.
    The only alternative is to get the users to login before we start the share screen task in ARD.  The issue with this is teachers prefer to be able to put work onto the screens before the pupils have a chance to log in and mess around on the machines.
    I have tried downgrading to ARDagent 3.4 on the clients, i have also tried turning off remote management and enabling again, like some have suggested.
    It would be great if someone has found a solution to this.
    Thanks.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite, I am unable to share screen with Macbook Pro

    After upgrading to Yosemite 10.10 on a 2008 MacBook Pro I am unable to "Share Screen" using my authorized user account.  It worked fine before I upgraded to Yosemite. 
    I can access "Share Screen" by "requesting permission", but of course this doesn't work unless I am sitting right by the MacBook Pro to give myself permission, which defeats my original purpose for using "Share Screen". 
    I attempted to add another authorized "Share Screen" user account, but was unable to access the list of add "Groups and Users" on the host MacBook Pro from the "Share Screen" dialog box.  The dialog box pops up, when I press "+" to add another user, but the list of users fails to appear.  I assume the list of authorized users for screen share has somehow become corrupt. 
    All other ways to access "sharing user" accounts appear to be working properly.  I can add and remove other "sharing users" without problems.  For example, I can add a new authorized "file share" user and share files without problems. 
    I ran Disk Utility in Recovery Mode and normal mode and corrected all errors, and user permissions on both machines.  I also ran "resetpassword" from Terminal in Recovery Mode and "reset" user permissions.  I am not an experienced Terminal or Recovery Mode user though. 
    I also tried turning the Firewall off, to no avail. 
    I am attempting to access "Screen Share" on the MacBook Pro via a Macbook Air 13" manufactured mid 2013 also with Yosemite 10.10, however, I also attempted with an older MacBook Air which experiences the same problem. 

    Thanks for the idea but it did not work, I do not know why it is asking me for a password which I never needed before for a guest to use the computer?  I have tried everything and I do not know which password it wants?   I do not see any option for a password for the guest account, to create one or delete one or modify it?  Maybe this bug\problem will be addressed in a future update?

  • "Share Screen" not working from MacBook to iMac

    Hello friends.
    I have an iMac (OS 10.6.6, 3.06 GHz core 2 Duo) and a MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.6, 2,53 GHz core 2 Duo)
    It's been a while since I had this problem, and I could not solve it.
    When I try to connect from iMac to MacBook (from Finder, in shared computers). I click into Share Screen and the login panel appears. After I type the user/password, the program "Share Screen" crashes and never get connected.
    It doesn't happen in the other way. I have tried to replace the program from one computer to other and still happening. I have the crash report in case it is needed.
    I hope that you could help me fixing this problem, as I am desesperated.
    Thanks in advance,
    David

    Usually when a program crashes in this way, it's a problem with the program itself rather than a configuration error.
    Have you tried the "Repair Permissions, Zap PRAM, Repair Disc" sequence?
    Good luck,
    Archie
