Skype Video calling - red light but no video

I did a search but couldn't find anything on the boards. If I initiate or receive a video call, the red light comes on and a black box where the picture should be, but nothing shows up. The audio works fine, but not the video. Is there a setting i need to activate or something?

take a look at the top 12 thread i made. one of them is detailed on how to do skype.
@richwhite
check the network you are on and be sure it is 3/3.5G as the video sometimes takes a while...even if on 3G. depends on the data connection. even though you may be connected 3/3.5g...not all areas of the network have the same data speeds.
also, if you have the cssu installed. it seems it takes a bit longer then before the cssu. may just be my unit.

N8 - Disable red light video recording

Any way to disable the red light during video record? Thanks

I tried all settings, and wherever i could find an option for turning the focus light off, i did.
So, i noticed that once i have settings on macro, it turns off the red light, but only for the first video shoot. If i pause, instead of stopping, and keep recording the video, it's alright.
But once i stop, the red light turns on again. In that case I have to restart the camera pro.
Not a perfect solution, but nevertheless, there is a solution.

My audio is grey, but no red light is on

Hi! I have an audio problem.
No Red light, but the sound icon is stuck on grey, wont allow me to move the volume bar, F10 F11 and F12 wont do anything and then they are touched, a "forbiden" icon appears below the big audio icon in the middle of the screen.
In system preferences everything is as usual, if I plug headphones says Headphones, if not, says Internal Speakers. The volume bar there has the Mute clicked but on grey, so I can't touch it.
I reseted the PRAM and VRAM and nothing. When computer starts up, it makes the sound, so the hardware works. Any Ideas?
Here the images:
Hoping someone can give me a hand.
Thanks!

Though, it works on VLC, but quicktime wont play any MP4 or other videos...
I've been around the forums, web, searching on google, and nothing seems ti solve this.

Skype Group Call Audio History

Hello people of the skype forums, I have searched the forums on "recovering Skype Group call Audio History" but to no avail, does skype even record the call(audio) histories? I had recorded some gaming footage with my friends and my screen+audio recorder crashed midway and I was wondering whether the audio we had on the skype call can be recovered?
Also, I've found "skypelogviewer" and apparently it doesn't support mac. Does skype log viewer enable users to access call audio files?
I appreciate any assistance in advance.

Hello,
Group calls aren't possible on tablets/smart phones.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

System won't post-four red lights on D-Bracket

My system sometimes posts and sometime no; the D-Bracket shows four red lights, but if I press the start button on the case for 5 seconds, the system restart and all works fine !!!
What's the problem ?

Since this is a second thread of same problem, please select "pencil button" at bottom and delete it.

Red light keeps blinking

I recently purchased the new 1gb i pod shuffle. the problem is that i left it plugged in to my computer to charge but when i safely removed it, the i pod shuffle went really hot and ten minutes later the red light started blinking and so i don't know what is wrong with it

My question is not necessarily that there is a red
light, but a series of green and orange flashing
light, followed by no sound of any sort. I've
upgraded the ipod and tried to down load new songs
and it simply won't play them. That is when it
flashes green and orange dots.
Alternating green and orange means no playable content (ERROR: No music loaded). Alternating green and two orange (10 seconds) means ERROR: iPod shuffle must be restored
Which are you experiencing? If the first, then you need to select one of the songs and click on File>Get Info>Summary and let us know what it says.

HT201177 My Face time device is working, but I can't make a Skype video call. How do I connect the camera when I am on a Skype video call?

My built in Face time device is working, the green light on top of my iMac is on, but when I make a Skype video call the other party cannot see me, even I can see them. How do I connect the built in camera to my video Skype call? Thanks for your help, Helmut

Assuming you have set up your Preferences correctly in Skype, sometimes Skype doesn't seem to automatically trigger the camera. When that happens just click on the camera icon that appears at the bottom of the screen when making a call:

Skype video call Blackmail

I know skype cant do much about it. but firstly I'd like to suggest everyone post up all information you can regarding the pursuer so that everyone else can go on skype look them up and block/report them. Their accounts are usually fairly obvious once you have become a victim.
FIRST PROTECT YOURSELF!
DO NOT SEND MONEY. DO NOT SUPPORT THEIR THREATS. THIS WILL PROMOTE THEM TO CONTINUE.
Delete/block all connections you have with the pursuer. Be it any/All social networks with linked names or information you have posted up publicly. Secondly if you cannot delete these accounts/deacctivate it, change you private settings.
CEASE ALL COMMUNICATION with them as soon as you have done this.
They also recycle photos with different names.
I have been scammed by Aliacate William, Aliacate19 = Skype user name
extortion for hundreds of dollars.

PLEASE search for these scammers and block/report them from everything! It won't do much about what was recorded but you may save others from falling victim.
Also follow what Skype recommends, EMAIL [e-mail removed for privacy and security] to reinforce the investigations.
IF you do some how find your video has gone online you should proceed with contacting police about Cyber extortion. They are criminals and not to be taken lightly.

If you are being blackmailed you should first contact the Police. Skype will ONLY become involved if requested to do so by them.
p.s. No duplicates please. Duplicate removed." - http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/Blackmail-scammer/td-p/2853839
Post up your criminal and help support eachother! This is a cruel world, but we'll find a way to fight back.

I just had nora.cante76 or something similar trying to add me to skype with the message: "Hi it's me again. Add me!!!!" I blocked the account straightaway.
Giving into their threats is the worse thing you can do. Now I will need to shut down my current skype account and start up a new one using a different name and email address otherwise this scumbag will continue to harass me.
I found out via the scam survivors site that Nora Cante or the nomenclature to that affect is a Morrocan guy who goes under the aliases of Mario Dissoza or Marwan Dissoza. You can see his photo here :http://www.scamsurvivors.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=24583&p=72811
I did a google and facebook search on him and wasn't able to find his account (probably been shut down) but I was able to find a trace link to a facebook like of photos of a football match or something called Zona Clandestine in El Jadida, Morroco which was one of the places he wanted money to be sent to. He is also associated with Khouribga, Morroco. Very likely this is where he lives.
A google search of Marwan Dissoza brings up his account on Facebook basic though it isn't actually there when you click on it suggesting his account was deactivated. Most likely by Facebook.
Other aliases are Anime Idris Kamel and Mouab Khabsi. Most likely one times uses.
Marwan Dissoza does seem to be closer to his real name as I also found his details on some sort of dating site: http://www.meetme.com/member/77885488
He also appears to have a google+ account.
Judging by his name he's a spanish Morrocan. He appears to have good english and IT savvy though he's not that good as he wasn't able to entirely erase his digital footprint.
Nonetheless this guy is scum of the lowest order and any of his nora cante aliases is to be avoided at all costs.
My incident started on Chat roulette. I have since stopped using it. My advice to anyone using Chat roulette is to avoid it at all costs. If you feel comfortable using then do not give out your email under any circumstances. If the so-called girl or boy you're chatting says they can't find your skype name its a trap. Just move on. I was so close to clicking 'next' and boy do I wish I had! The fake cam seems so convincing. It never occurred to me that someone could record your skype video call and use that against you.
I sincerely hope no one else falls victim to this disgusting filth. I think we need to push Skype hard to put out a message to all users on their site to steer clear of all accounts named nora cante.

New iPad 4G internet access lost during Skype video calls, also to all apps...

Hi
i have the New (3rd generation) iPad 4G 32 Gb and i noticed that i totally lost internet connection during Skype video calls. The wifi signal is full but loosing the internet connection. Trying other apps like safari after the failure i don't have also internet access. After turninmg off & on afain wifi from iPad's settings everything returns to normal state.
No other wifi problems when not using Skype for iPad, no problems with Facetime or any other application, no problem with any other device, i also have an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 3GS without any connection or internet problems.
Any idea? Is it a Skype problem, or iPad's know wifi problem?

Eddie

I also noticed the same problem not only using Skype, but with other application also.
Wifi signal is full, but loosing internet connection.
Any idea please ? Have to return it back for repair ? It's only 2 weeks old....

When I try to answer a skype video call from someone, the call is ended before I can get it! As soon as I click on the phone icon or the camera icon, it ends the call. This only happens from one contact.

When I try to answer a skype video call on my Ipad (2nd generation), as soon as I click on the phone or video icon the call is ended. This only happens with one of my contacts. I can video call them without any problem! But not in reverse. Any suggestions???

You may have better luck posting this on the Skype forum to see if anyone else has had the problem.

Skype Video Calling

I installed the latest version of Skype to test out video calling between our iPhone 4's and 3GS 8GB, but there is no link for "video" on the contact page - only "call" and "SMS." The other phones also have skype installed. A regular phone call does go through, but no link to video calls.
Any idea what's going on?

You can only make skype calls from within your skype app. You don't have any link to skype video calls from within your contacts page. You have to go into your skype app select one of your skype contacts that are online at that time and tap the video call button.
You can't make skype calls to any of your contacts from your phones contacts list; you have to go through skype

Incredible 2 skype video call help

I am trying to set up skype on the new Incredible 2 so I can make skype video calls. After set up I was able to make a call but have not been succesful making a video call. Any suggestions?

The only reason I have not demanded a different replacement for my Thunderbot is the fact that the leaked Skype w/ video apk works amazing and I use it daily to talk to family on their pc. I have considered the Dinc 2 but fear if I jump ship from the Tbolt the bugs will be worked out the next day. My point being that the fact that I have gotten a leaked version of a video chat app that works far better than tango or qik leads me to believe the hold up is Verizon. They supposedly pulled Skype from the Tbolt before launch for unknown reasons but I can say the leaked Skype w/ video has less bugs than the Tbolt in general so the fact they pulled an app from a flawed phone and still released the phone means their probably trying to figure out how to block it to wifi only or charge us for it.

Logitech C920 and Skype Video Calls

So, the Logitech C920 I have worked before with Skype video calls with no problems. But after this new update, it doesn't detect the web cam anymore. I've googled, searched this forum, searched reddit and every possible form of help to only still not detect the web cam.
I've used 6.22, 6.18, and right now I'm on 6.14 and it still won't be detected. I've tried every USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 port I have on my rig.
Now before someone tells me it's the web cam that's broken, the web cam works on Logitech's program, it works on twitch, it works on Microsoft's program as well. All drivers are up-to-date as well.
Completely frustrated with this problem and I was wondering if posting it would be of any help.
I am on Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit as well.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Im having a similar issue. Logitech c920 no picture in SKYPE. Other apps are OK and SKYPE titles my webcam but it just a blank screen with spinning wheel in setting. Sound is OK.
Im running Windows 7 64bit. I have uninstalled SKYPE and updated the drivers ( AMD Catalyst to 14.2 and also tested beta 15.4 ) with no change.
Any help would be appreciated
