Video calling with Samsung smart TVs

I've just bought a Samsung D6530 smart TV. Problem is that people I call can't activate their cameras so I can't see them and they can't see me. Could this be a firewall problem? There don't seem to be any settings on the TV that I can change for this?

I have the same problem,I bought this state of the art Samsung D6530 in the hope that one of the advantages would be chatting to my friends and family in the comfort of the lounge on Skype but I am experiencing the following:-
I can connect, no problem.
I can see myself in the window on the TV screen.
I cannot see my friends and they cannot see mevebut we can hear each other
I can call my TV from my laptop and it works perfectly !!
Differences... My laptop uses Vista, my friend in New York uses Mac, my family in London use Windows.
I went back to the store that supplied the TV and they said that they have heard of this problem and the way around it is check that the people you are calling have Skype 4.2 for windows or Skype 5.0 or higher for Mac.
I would be interested in your comments.

How can I share my photo's, music and video's with Samsung Smart TV?? I am using Lion.

We bought a Samsung Smart TV saturday and now I want to share my files with AllShare or something else.
Is somebody here who knows how to share??

You need some software running on your mac such as elgato's eyeconnect.
This allows your tv to stream content from the mac.
There is currently a free 30 day trial of the software. I have it and it works fairly well although some protected content such as itunes purchased movies do not play although it has no problem streaming movies i have copied onto the mac from dvd's i own.

I can't have a video call with my Gtalk contacts

Hi, I'm a new user in Mac world. Recently I bought a macbook pro and I have a problem with iChat. My girlfriend have a PC and we talk thru Gtalk video chat when I has a PC. I configure the iChat to have a video call with her but the video call icon is disable so I can't send her the invitation for the video.
I decided go to gmail.com and have the video call there but when the video call starts she can see me but i can see her, I only see her photo contact and my photo contact.
Please help me with this problem because is driving me crazy!

Hi,
When Google started out doing the Video Chat bit they used the Flash Plug-in but now use their own.
However that does mean that now and then people find the the Flash and Google Plug-in clash (More likely for Flash Web Based chats not to work)
I don't use Safari every day.
Firefox has a Tools Menu and can list the plug-ins in there.
I can only see a place in Safari to turn Off All Plug-ins in the Preferences > Security.

Check that you have the Flash Plug-in

Then all you need is an external compatible webcam with your Mac Mini. Skype is currently compatible with your Mac and operating system

Does iChat in Lion have video calls with Yahoo messenger??

Does iChat in Lion have video calls with Yahoo messenger?
so far is supports only AIM and Apple ID for video chat but in Lion iChat supports Yahoo messenger, do they have video calling also or only text chat is offered in this version?

Hi all,
iChat will Video to other iChat users for Jabber (Google, Facebook and others) and Yahoo Names.
In neither case will it Video to any Web browser access to the service the buddy may be on such as the Google Mail web mail or iGoogle pages access to the chat option.
Nor will it video to any Standalone app (There is one for PC for GoogleTalk) and obviously the Yahoo app on both PCs and Macs.
iChat has not done this since Jabber was added at iChat 3 (OS 10.4/Tiger) some while ago.
The AIM for Mac app has never been able to do Video.
Video chatting to the AIM app for PCs can be fraught but is supposed to work.
It also tends to work to the Trillian App with the Pro Add-on (which Costs)
The Yahoo for Mac 3 Beta has been in beta for years. It could be argued that it has never been "Supported"
iChat 6 's behaviour may not be what you want but it is entirely consistent with iChat 3 through 5 with the Jabber options.

Facetime is an iOS only feature.

Will iTunes Radio be available on Samsung Smart TVs?

Hello,
I already like iTunes Radio better than Pandora for many reasons. I have a nice Samsung Smart TV that I pretty much use for everything in the house. Is there or will there be an app allowing the Samsung Smart TVs to stream music via Itunes Radio? I am actually far from home at the moment so I can't check but I would really like to know.
Thank you

I was also hoping there would be an app for my Samsung smart tv like the Pandora app. Makes it so easy and you don't have to buy a separate box for apple tv. I like the song selections that itunes radio chooses better than pandora but pandora has more features - like their shuffle stations feature for example. It seems apple kind of did their itunes radio in a half baked way. Just not good enough to pull me away from pandora. I'll check back in a year.

No sound on incoming Skype calls on Samsung Smart TV (UE55D8000)

I bought a camera (CY-STC1100) for my Samsung Smart TV (UE55D8000) to Skype. I can video call but I cannot hear the incoming call on my TV speakers. Is there a setting I am missing to increase the volume .

Skype is designed on purpose to make use of the TV speakers and not to output any audio to external speaker systems. The reason for this is to ensure that the audio being picked up from the TV's microphone during a Skype call isn't affected the audio coming out of your TV speakers from the person at the far end of the call. If audio were allowed to be sent to external speakers (the type, placement, volume of which will vary in each living room) then it would be impossible to effectively cancel out the echo on the call and you would get terrible howling.
However, when you make a Skype call the audio should be automatically routed to your TV speakers without you having to manually switch to them.
Let me check with Samsung to make sure this is the case...

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:

Video call on samsung gt s5300

this is my mobile but i cant do a video call

How about using video conferencing in the following way. A computer initiates the video conference with 2 or 3 computer participants and then adds a Skype equipped TV such as the Samsung UE60ES6300 as the last participant, would this work ? would we see all participants on the TV as we do on a computer ?
If not why is there a limitation and when will Skype equipped TVs be able to do video Conferencing ? 2013 ? later ?
Thank you.

If the DroidX had a front camera how easy would it be to video call with Skype or Fringe?

Apparently EVO with Sprint you can video conference with Fringe but is this something that has to been done through WIFI? I was ready to upgrade to the DroidX but I am wondering if I should hold off for the front camera. I love using Skype video and it would be amazing to have this feature on the phone if it is an easy thing to do.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone is knowledgable about this information.
Thank you!

Since that is a hypothetical situation (Droid X front camera), there is no real way to even guess how the carrier or manufacture would implement this feature because if you look at how other devices use this feature you notice that they are not implementing this feature the same way. Also in regards to the EVO video calls is across the 4G network but from what I have read they have been experiencing a lot of connection issues do to the network being over whelmed (which isnt a surprise)...

Poor quality Skype Video Calls with good connectio...

suffering with Poor quality Skype Video Calls and also voice.
My connection is 8 mb Download and .6mp upload, my wife in another country has Fiber so is alot faster again.
I am using Windows 8.1 and also a Ipad Air, same issues on both.
The Windows Pc has a nice microsoft Hd webcam (not one of the cheapones) using a i7 pc with 16g of Ram and a Gaming Graphics Card.
There is very little software on the pc, a couple of games, no itunes, Downloading software and very little running in the background. I use Window Defender and Anti virus and have recently done a re instal of windows and everything is updated driver and software wise, including skype.
The Ipad is the Apple air.
When connecting to my Wife in the Uk the reception isnt great picture wise and after a little while gets bad and also disconects alot and then comes back with a worse picture and call quality. I have even had the bad connection pop up. I have ran speed tests at these points and all are showing fine.
I also have a issue when calling my Dads land line in the uk where he has trouble hearing what im saying, muffled and echos
I am a premium paying customer and started to get a bit frustrated.

@Furgan, in which country are you located? Some countries and ISP-s are shaping Skype traffic. One known country is Saudi Arabia for example.
If would help us if you could please reproduce the issue and provide logs as described in this link https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12321/how-do-i-create-log-files under Skype for Windows Desktop and attach it to your post?
Thank you
