Skype Supported desktop video phones

I now have two obselete skype desktop video phones and need a recommendation for one that's easy to use for my 80 year-old parents.  Thanks

Honestly speaking - there's no way to recommend you one unless I know the exact environment you're placing it in.
Google 'Skype video phone' and you'll get a whole list, pick the one that looks like it suits you best, they all do the same thing!
The one on the Skype website is this one.
Although really, we're in the 21st century now - what's your budget? You'd be better off getting them an iPad or smart device - they're simple enough to operate and they do far more besides just skype video calls than a video phone can ever do.

  • Skype on desktop won't sign in, but does on phone ...

    Hi, anyone got any ideas as to why signing in fails on the skype for desktop (pc), but successfully signs in on phone and tablet app? I'm going round and round in a vicious circle of resetting passwords etc., with the problem still not solved. I've uninstalled and resinstalled, reset the password and restarted the pc several times and tried on a couple of different pc's without luck. Meanwhile, the app is working seamlessly. Using win7
    Help please!

    I can log in fine to the web portal (chrome...why on earth does skype rely on IE in this day and age?), it's the desktop software that I can't seem to log into I'm afraid.
    What is the version of Internet Explorer installed on your computer?
    In Internet Explorer go to Help -> About Internet Explorer.
    P.S. Please, don’t say that you are not using Internet Explorer. This is irrelevant. Skype depends on Internet Explorer.

  • CUPC desktop video - CAST protocol

    Hi,
    In CUPC desktop video to work, is it mandatory for the PC need to be daisy-chained to the back of the Cisco IP phone for CAST protocol to work?
    Kind regards - Daniel
    Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPhone App

    Hey Daniel,
    For CDP to detect the IP phone, the workstation needs to be connected/daisy-chained to the back of that IP Phone, otherwise CAST will not connect.
    Similarly, when CUPC is using Wireless Connection, it will not be able to make Desk Phone Video calls due to the same requirement.

  • Account Hacked - Skype Support Useless - NO REFUND...

    So my skype account was hacked last week, just found out right now. Luckly my credit card on file had expired so they only ate $8. To make it worse, the Skype login and password change system on the website isn't working properly (even though their heart beat page says its fixed), and Skype support kept trying shift the login problems on me. Oh... and no refunds? Hmmm... well... no more money for you Skype. Not one cent ever again. Its computer to computer chats from now on, and I'll find a better VOIP provider.
    So here's the transcript of my "support" chat... useless or very useless? you be the judge...

  • How do I set up my I chat as a video phone call so I can see the person I am talking to

    This is my first time trying to use my microphone and video cam so I can chat on line and see the person I am chatting with.  Could you please explain to me how to set it up and use it.
    Thank you

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Here is the Apple guide to getting started with iChat: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2515
    and more detailed information here: http://www.apple.com/support/ichat/
    Note that both participants need a Mac, iChat, and a reasonably fast reliable internet connection for the best results.
    If the person you're trying to contact has an iOS device (iPhone, iPod Touch with camera, iPad 2) and it is available in your country, use FaceTime. FaceTime for OS X is available from the Mac App Store at a modest cost. Both caller and receiver must have WiFi connections and Apple ID's (free registration) for FaceTime.
    It is also possible to use Skype for free video chat with a wider variety of computing hardware and operating system support (Windows, Mac, and Linux), but of course, you must all download and install Skype.

  • Calling skype to a mobile phone outside the origin...

    I have a portuguese phone and I am abroad - in Andorra.
    If someone calls me from skype, which rate will be applied? From Portugal to Andorra, or From Portugal to Portugal?
    And what about my Mobile Phone, will I have to support roaming costs?
    Thank you.
    M
    Calling skype to a mobile phone outside the original country

    your partner's mobile is registered in the UK
    calls forwarded from Skype to that UK number are covered (as you know)
    as is, forwarded calls would still be going to the UK number, and he would pay roaming charges from his mobile carrier for the priviledge of answering these calls while abroad (iow, has nothing to do with Skype)
    if he got a local SIM for his mobile phone while abroad, then Skype could be forwarded to that number for free if he added a Skype subscription that covers SkypeOut calls to the number associated with that local SIM (in your example this would be Unlimited US/Canada sub)

    I need to access and use Skype from overseas, and am considering buying a a Chinese phone called the X10.  It's an unlocked quad-band GSM phone - which is fine - supports GPRS & WiFi, but is not 3G.

    You probably want an Android or iPhone for use with the Skype mobile apps.  Phones with the Symbian operating system - mostly Nokia phones - can also use a Skype app, but lacks some of the features available in the Android or iPhone versions.  If you are able to confine your use to Skype to WiFi, not having 3G or 4G/LTE on your mobile phone is probably not an issue. 
    I have a Nokia N8 mobile phone, which uses the Symbian operating system.  Nice phone, compatible with GSM/UMTS networks around the world.  The Skype app for it is not great, but works on WiFi or 3G data networks.  What I ended up doing was also purchasing an iPod Touch, which is compatible with apps for the iPhone, and a WiFI hotspot app for my N8.  Then I use Skype on the iPod, connecting to the Internet through the N8's hotspot app via WiFi.  It takes two devices in this case to use Skype, but I'm making use of the better Skype app on the iPod over the N8.  Or I can just use the iPod if I have access to WiFi wherever I happen to be. 
    Hope that helps!

    2014-08-04. Yesterday i was in great need of Skype WIFI on Heathrow. But no! Microsoft/Skype still don't have Skype wifi for Windows Phone but has it for all competing mobile platforms! How does that make sense? If MS won't support Windows Phone, who will??
    Maybe it is as it should be? I had this discussion with a gentleman that was sincerely convinced, there has been a major policy change at Microsoft HQ regarding Skype. He belived the buy of Skype insyead really was a kind of a hostile buy, in order to close Skype as it it is shaped today, instead in a future introduce a new type of coomunication programme similar to Skype, but totally different and more profitable and when launched a closure/abandoment of Skype will be done.
    I don't know, but it was a really well suited gentleman...

  • Where is the OTHER category? Skype Support Problem

    The Skype website will NOT connect me to Chat. I keep getting this after I log in. Since Skype (Microsoft) the PHONE company has no phone # for support, how can I get support on a problem with my PAID Skype account? Note clicking on the page link just puts me in an infinite loop.
    "Select issue
    Problems huh? Take a seat and tell us about it. 
    Start by choosing a topic below.
    We are unable to complete the submission process at this time. Please refer to this page for contacting Skype support."

    'Other' is a totally worthless classification of disk usage because it telsl you absolutely nothing at all about where the space is being used as you have discovered.
    I suggest you download and install OmniDiskSweeper. It will tell you the folders and files that using the most disk space so that you can make intelligent decisions about what to delete or move.

  • Watch 3 minutes of any youtube video, phone reboot and drained my battery??? Please help....

    Watch 3 minutes of any youtube video, phone reboot by itself and drained my battery full life??? Please help....
    I have removed all applications, that still did not fix it. Then I did a clean swipe and that still did not fix that problem.

    Good morning Palam001,
    I spend hours a day watching Youtube videos on my phone! It is one of my favorite pastimes! FYI, I don't do it at work though, just in case my boss is reading this! May I ask what device are you watching the Youtube videos on? Is it the blackberry curve that you have stated in your profile? Also, are you watching the videos directly from the website or from an app that was downloaded from blackberry app world? 
    There are a couple of options for you to try to get this issue resolved. If you are using a Youtube app or 3rd party app to watch the videos then I would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the app onto the device. If it's a 3rd party app then I recommend contacting the developer for additional assistance or to report the error, at the very least.
    Another option is to perform software update/refresh on your blackberry. This can be done from a computer using the blackberry desktop manager. The process takes about 20-30 minutes if you already have the desktop manager installed. If you do not have the desktop manager installed then you can visit the link below to download it from blackberry's website.
    http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    From the link above, you can download the desktop manager for either PC or Mac. Once you have completed the software refresh, please retry the Youtube videos to see if the performance have improved. If not then please reply to this message for additional options to explore.
    Thank you...

  • Making QtWebkit support HTML5 video and audio

    For those who don't know, HTML5 enables most current browsers to play videos and audios without the need of any plugin. QtWebkit supports this feature, so browsers using it such as Rekonq and Arora should support it too. However on Arch Linux this does not work outside of the box.
    I've tried to make this work and made a little progress, and I'm wondering if anyone has made similar attempts, have suggestions, or are willing to try this out. What I've done basically is to compile Qt with Phonon, and then remove the Phonon files when building the package, so that it uses the Phonon that comes with KDE. I included the PKGBUILD below, and you just need to copy the extra/qt directory from abs, and override the PKGBUILD or apply the patch.
    I also installed phonon-vlc-qt from AUR, which according to this post contains some fixes to support HTML5 video/audio. However neither this nor the default gstreamer backend works for me. With vlc the vidoe doesn't play, and with gstreamer the browser crashes. To try different backends for Phonon, open KDE's System Settings - Multimedia - Backends, and use the Prefer and Defer buttons.
    Some links for testing HTML5 video and audio:
    http://html5test.com Only uses JavaScript to ask the browser if it supports the feature. What I've done does make these tests pass.
    http://html5video.org
    http://youtube.com/html5 Join the beta, and then open some youtube videos, and look for HTML5 in the player's control bar

    Use a minidisplay/HDMI cable for video:

    A 2009 MBP does not support audio via HDMI so you will have to tap the Audio Output port.  Use a 3.5 mmRCA plugs and tap the RCA audio inputs on the TV with a cable such as this:

  • IOS Iphone Syncing problem - UPDATE direct from Skype Support

    I've been having problem getting messages on my iphone for a week now. No group messages, no notifications, and I cannot receive groups calls or messages. I have the latest version of iOS and reinstalled and reset my phone severals times. I contacted Skype support and found out they are doing a SILENT update, and that we can experience problems on this for the next several weeks, and there is NOTHING YOU CAN DO. I requested they post an update to keep users informed so they don't spend a bunch of time debgging, but guess what, they won't. So hpefully see this post before you spend 3 hours trying to figure out the problem. Please give a kudos if this helps, so that others will see too. REPLY if you're having the same problem. Thanks!!

    i'm having problems since 2015-07-31 on my iphone4 (7.1.2) - it syncs msgs only if the other party is online at the same time. all offline msgs are ignored without error or something.
    but strange as it is it still works without issues on my iphone6 (8.4)... both devices run skype 5.14.0.46
