Video Call Question

Can you communicate in Video Call by typing instead of speaking? I want to be able to see
the person but not have any audio. Can we type to each other while still be able to see each other?

Yes, click the blue chatbubble that appears when you hover over the video area (far leftmost one).

Facebook Video Calling Security Question

When I try to use video chat in Facebook, I'm directed to download a file. The file is "FacebookVideoCalling_v1.6.jar" and it comes with this message:
Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers."
I don't want to change my security preferences because Facebook refuses to register the program on the App Store.
I also have a valid Skype account and have linked Skype to Facebook.
How do I use Facebook Video calling without relaxing my security protocols?

Thanks for the quick reply. I should have made clear that I know how to make an exception for this piece of software. I'm probably more troubled that Facebook doesn't seem to care enough about security to register the program. Is there cause for concern? Before posting this, I was reading various blogs that expressed concern about FB collecting private data while users are engaging in the video chats. I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but in the case of FB it sometimes seems warranted.
Is there anyway to use security sanctioned video chat software on FB or is the only option to download their offering and then pull the drawbridge back up?

Two EX90 devices can make video calls over Internet with No VCS-C and VCS-E

Dear Experts;
I have just started TelePresence and VCS 2 weeks before by going through cisco docs and videos and I had taken a risk of implementing the infrastructure elements.
We are now implementing Cisco Tele presence with VCS-C, VCS-E TMS,TCS,MCU and End points with Jabber in One setup.
and in another setup CUCM 10.5,UCCX 10.5 IM&P,Jabber with some 10 agents.
Now the question is In our same building in 2nd floor we have one EX90 and in 5th Floor one EX90 and over LAN we can make video calls using IP address.
In the same way is it possible to make a video call between 2 EX90 devices present in different location in the same city over Internet without the involvement of VCS-C and VCS-E.
Appreciate your valuable reply.
Regards
Debashis

The simple answer to that is NO! Where is the EX90 registered to at the moment? Is it on the VCS? or CUCM

How can I do a video call with my friend?

I am new to the tech world,61 yr.old senior citizen. I do not know anything yet, a tech connected to Skype so I could see and talk live to my friend via of video but she has an Apple i-phone so I can't yet. I was wondering if she's connected to face book can I contact her via Skype to her Facebook contact she has on her i-phone that uses Apple's version of their Skype? Since Skype is free to the Facebook users. Sorry, I can't be a volunteer. I can ask questions that alot of Seniors like me would be able to learn about this community and we could read some topics that we could use to start us off and reply what works in our circumstances and eventually maybe develop the skills that would makes us useful to the Program.

Dear Newbie-61,
Welcome to the Skype Community!
All calls between Skype users are free, regardless of which computer or handheld phone or tablet they use to call each other. What is important is that the Skype software must be downloaded and installed on the particular computer, laptop, tablet, or smart phone that you use. Depending upon what kind of set-up you have, you may or may not need a separate headset. Laptop computers and smart phones use the microphone and camera that comes with them.
To download Skype, please start by clicking on this link: Download Skype After you download and install Skype, sign on using the account you used to post your message on this Community.
Then. you and your friend can exchange contact invitations. This FAQ article explains how to do it:

You can't. iSync has been discontinued since Mac OS 10.7 Lion. iSync has no connection with iCloud anyway.

Can't get video calls to work

I just purchased 2 kindle fire tablets. Why can't we get the video skype to function. Only calls can be made and they don't always connect. Do we have to buy time for video calls?. Nowhere does it say what to do to make these calls.

We only support video calling on the Kindle Fire HD currently. Do you have the newest HD version?

50% Packet Loss on VoIP/Video calls

HI,
When making VoIP or video calls I'm getting up to 50% packet loss. I'm struggling to find out what is causing the problem. When I make a video call I have, at the same time, run speedtest.net and it is still providing adequate bandwidth so I know that is not the cause. The packet loss seems to come and go so it will be fine for a few seconds and then goes up to 50% for a few seconds and then keeps cycling.

It's dropping pings, you can see that clearly from the above. It's intermittent. Whilst a drop in pings isn't the definitive sign of packetloss, the way in which it's doing it is.
If it was going to drop it through flooding it simply wouldn't respond at all after the first few. It it was configured to not respond, it simply wouldn't.
Pings to any external source - (not to the device itself) are also failing intermittently. This indicates that a device along the traffic path is having issues.
I can screenshot a nice disconnection plug in games, but there's no real need.
The evidence is there if you know how to interpret it. This needs to be investigated.
A question for you then!
What happens when your router gets repeated pings from the same source?
Does it not block them as a possible DDOS attack?
The more gamers try this tactic the worse their traces will get & it will more than likely also affect other gamers interested in low latency through these same nodes!
Check the timings between the true source & destination by all means but please do not
unnecessarily stress individual points on the main ISP network backbones!

How to activate video calling from account page?

On a new computer Windows 8.1 can sign into my Skype for Desktop Account using skype name and password. Also have same email address as before. Account page comes up but dont know how to activate Skype so I can video call. Tried to instal Skype & got as far as Save Skype to File box, clicked on this, then was expecting to see Run Installer but nothing happened. Was previously using Windows XP. Have the original Skype download filed. Plus several more where I have been attempting to resolve this problem. Am all ´skyped up´ but cannot use it !!
Absolutely desperate have been trying to remedy this for ages. can anyone help please. Thanks Deborah
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, if it hasn't successfully installed yet, then you won't be able to uninstall it. So with that in mind, if you are able to uninstall it then that would explain why you can't install it again. The program won't let you install it if it's already been installed. So if you'd like to try again you can uninstall it and reinstall from one of the files you downloaded.
So, the first step would be to see if it is currently installed. To do this, right click the Start button in the bottom right corner while in Windows desktop. You will see a context menu pop up. From there, choose Control Panel, and within Control Panel choose Uninstall a program. You will see a list of currently installed programs.
If you see Skype in the list, uninstall it. If you don't, then don't worry about it - it's not installed. Now try to install it again.
With regard to User Account Control, don't worry about that at all. It is safe to click Yes, and once you do that should initiate the installation process. User Account Control (UAC) is a warning that something want approval from a computer administrator, which gives it access to parts of the computer it would not have otherwise. You probably don't want to give administrator access to programs you do not trust, but Skype is made by Microsoft so there is nothing to worry about.
Let me know if this helps you, or if you have any more questions. Good luck!
P.S. You said the Skype installation file came from your XP computer - that may be a problem in itself. When you download Skype from the website there is a pretty good chance that it checks the version of your operating system before downloading, meaning that if you downloaded it on a Windows XP computer you may have downloaded a Windows XP version that will not work on Windows 8.1. So, if you are using a file you downloaded from that computer, just download it again from the new one. You can use the link I put in the first post.

Green picture during video calls

I am only getting a green screen from my camera when making video calls on x box one,can anyone suggest anything

What Skype version are you receiving the video from your Xbox from?
Or to be more precise: Which Skype version on which plattform is sending the green video? It's usually the recording and not the playback end of video that is causing this. Make sure you are running the latest available Skype version on that plattform.

Video calls, Are they recorded and stored?

Hi, my question is as in topic.
I'm wondering if my videocalls are recorded and saved on servers somewhere microsoft/skype or any others company servers.
I write this coz i found Quotes:
"Subject to our Fair Use Policy (“FUP”) below, there are no limits on the number of Video Messages you can send. If you are not a Skype Premium subscriber, Video Messages will be kept for a minimum of 6 months from the date sent and may expire after that time."
"12. HOW LONG IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA KEPT BY SKYPE?
Your instant messaging (IM), voicemail, and video message content (collectively “messages”) may be stored by Skype (a)"
SO PLEASE GIVE ME CLEAR ANSWER.
are they recorded and stored anywhere or no?

Your video calls are not recorded or stored anywhere. Sent or received Video Messages are saved on Skype servers. Be aware that Video Messages have nothing to do with your regular video calls.

Video Call

Hi all.
We have a cisco 2851 with a VWIC-2MFT-E1 interface and 2 pvdm2 64. We have also a sony video station registerd (sccp) on our Callmanager (4.2).
We are trying to receive a video call from a remote H320 video station.
A show voice call summary on our 2851, shows both primary and secondary call connected.
Our internal Video station shows a "voice only" call.
My question....
How can I use our 2851 to get a working video call?
Thank you in advance
Regards
Carlo Poggiarelli

Hi Shoaib.
I've reverved this pool for to reasons.
One is for future VS and the other is, as Nick told, because when an external VS calls mine, it may need a sequential number to bring up secondary calls. In this case we can say each number of 727088-727099 range is an isdn b channel that external vs will use to reach the desired (and the available at the remote site) bandwidth for video calls.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk1077/technologies_configuration_example09186a00807ca099.shtml
In this document cisco explains the h320 video call flow.Check it and the situation sould be more clear.

Bye

Insufficient Funds when placing Skype (video) call

I've been statoned in okinawa japan.
I purchased the skype number so that i have state side phone number for people to call me.
I purchased the unlimited us and canada subscrition so that i may call back to anyone in the states.
I have $5.00 of skype credit (going to expire in sept). That i've never used.
I have little to no problems while trying to call from phone to phone. But when i try to do a skype to skype (mainly video call). I get the error that I have insufficent credit. I get this on my mobile phone as well as on my xbox one.
On the other end they see that i tried to call and they are able to successfully call me back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On which mobile phone are you using Skype? Are you running the latest version?
Audio and video calls between Skype users are free so you should never see this message.

No video call buttons

Just loaded Skype on my android phone and my iphone why are there no video. Buttons ?

A Video Call button may not be available when the following criteria is met:
The device is not compatible with video calling. This usually applies to older devices.
You do not have the latest version of Skype. Be sure you're up to date using the "My Apps" section of the Play Store. or the App Store on your iPhone.
When using a third-party client, video calling may not be available for Skype or may not be officially supported. Always use the official Skype client for your device when making video calls, which is fully supported.
If anything else, please reply. If you're not using the officially-supported Skype client, please install that first and then let me know if the problem still persists.
