Video Group call not working

Hello! I have recently purchased a laptop with Windows 8.1 with pre-installed Skype application. When When I video-call a single person, everything is working normally, and I am able to see the other person. However, when making a group call, I am the only one that cannot see neither of the parties, though I am able to hear them. I do have the latest Skype application. Also, I cannot recieve pictures. Where is the problem?
Solved!

Hi there, I am having a similar problem. When I make group video calls (on my PC with Windows 8.1), the people on macs or iphones can only be heard but not seen. And I get a message on my screen that says something like their version doesn't support group video? But I've done everything the forums says:
1) they have the latest iPhone and just downloaded Skype which is the newest version (no older versions here)
2) I'm the one hosting the call, so they're just joining in (because I know iPhone can't host, but they're supposed to be able to join group video chats).
3) I've added their name to my contacts list and dragged their contact into the group call box to initiate the call (so they're not joining in later, they're there at the start of the call).
4) And we tested prior to the group call to make sure that one-on-one video calling is working.
5) Everyone else on the call who are on a PC has the group video chat working fine.
6) Only calling with 3-4 people in a group.
What am I missing? Please help.

Re: Video Group call not working

It would seem to be a platform/OS issue. I recently got a new webcam to work with my Kubuntu 14.10 desktop. It works fine when in a one on one call but will not handle video in a group call. I could hear all the other parties, but there was no video from that computer in either direction in the grouup call. To test my premise we tried it on my Android tablet as well. It did, however, work fine on my laptop running Windows 8.1.

Hi there, added a Kudo to this post.
I have the same problem on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, also if I will move soon to 14.04 LTS 64bit.
But the reason stay in the supported platforms.
When group video calls feature will be implemented also for Linux platforms?
Thanks

Group calls not working

For the last 2 days, group call feature does not work at all. I use this feature every day for my work.. I must have it.
When I add the 2nd caller to the call, it will not dial out if it is a POT, or it will not connect if it is a SKYPE user online.
If I create a group call prior to connecting, the button to initiate the call does not function.
I unstalled skype, delete the app directory, and reinstalled skype.
It still does work.
I am running windows 7 professional 64 bit on a dual processor with 8 GB RAM.

Hi, this morning I noticed my bluetooth radio was on.
I turned it off.
That didn't work.
I went to another machine and signed on there (Windows 7 home premium, QUAD 8 GB). That machine was running 7.3. It allowed the group calls.
I signed out and went back to the first machine running 7.4. It now works!
Hopefully this is resolved.

Installed Premiere Pro CS4 but video display does not work?

I just got my copy of CS$. After installing Premiere I found two things that seem very wrong:
1) video display does not work, not even the little playback viewer next to improted film clips located on the project / sequence window. Audio works fine.
2) the UI is way too slow for my big beefy system.
My pc is a dual boot Vista-32 and XP system with 4GB of memory installed and nvidia geforce 280 graphics board with plenty of GPU power. The CS4 is installed on the Vista-32 partition. My windows XP partition on the same PC with Premiere CS2 works great and real fast.
Any ideas how to solve this CS4 install issue?

I would like to thank Dan, Hunt, and Haram:
The problem is now very clear to me. The problem only shows up with video footage imported into PP CS4 encoded with "MS Video 1" codec. So this seems to be a bug. The codec is very clearly called out and supported within various menues but video with this codec just will not play in any monitor or preview window. In addition the entire product looks horrible with respect to performance while PP CS4 trys its best to play the video. Audio will start playing after about 30 seconds. And once in awhile part of video shows up at the wrong magnification before blanking out again.
My suggestion to the Adobe team: fix the bug and add some sample footage to the next release so new installations can test their systems with known footage.

Video group calling - can t cancel the subscriptio...

guys....
i need help on that. whenever i try to cancel or go to settings for video group calling skype premium settings the page is not displayed. I don t think there is problem with my internet options settings because it says reload the page later. this thing comes every time i try to change the settings. i don t want group video calling subcription and some how get charged for that every month

I believe the fact that the option to cancel is not available on your account page is a bug, and I think Skype is aware of it.
Until/unless that gets fixed, contact Customer Service through this link to cancel your subscpription:

IOS Group Messaging not working when Android phones are involved

Group Messaging not working for me when there are both Iphones and Androids involved. iPhones still using iOS 7 don't seem to be having problems leading me to believe this is an iOS 8 problem. Is there a workaround for this yet, or is this a legitimate bug fix that Apple will have to address?

Hey geoff_zen,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you arr having trouble with group messages. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Video & Voice Chat Not Working With ichat

Voice Chat and Video Chat is not working with ichat 6 in booth google and yahoo. One side is ichat and the other side is yahoo & google talk clients, Please confirm whether its a workable scenario or it only supports ichat to ichat.
Thanks & Regards

Hi
Other alternatives based on the amount of info in your post.
Has she set up her Google Name in iChat or is she logged on via the Web Site (Google Mail page) ?
iChat cannot Video to the Google Mail Login page chat option or to the app called GoogleTalk on a PC.
Another thing.
If you login to the GoogleMail Web pages you will get logged out of iChat (GoogleTalk account) to a partial extent which may explain the loss of Video or Audio iCons.
iChat reports in a Text chat window that you have Logged Off.
However you seem to be able to continue the chat - but it separate from the web Page chat - You send from the web page and that chat will get the next response, send from iChat and it gets the next response (I can't remember if the Buddy told me he got two Chat windows at his end)

Calling not working

I continuously try calling and getting called by my friends who live across the state, only to have the call not work for me. I don't get any ringing or the pop-up window, it just shows me that they are in a call. When I do try to join, it sits there for approximately 30 seconds trying to connect and then kicks me out of the call. I have reset Skype, I have checked for updates; I have the most recent one, I'm up to date. They all have no problem calling with each other but I cannot join or make calls. Oddly enough, there is only one person I can call or get calls from out of our group, but I don't receive a notification unless it's from her. I have tried calling echo and it works every time but not with my friends. Please send help or something to try to fix this problem, it is making Skype unuseable.

Glad we found a workaround. On which network and in which country are you roaming? And who is your home network operator?
This would help Nokia to investigate. And it helps those to find the workaround who find this thread via an search on the Internet.

Satellite 1800-100: video-out does not work

He,
I just installed windows XP on my old Satellite 1800-100, but now my video-out does not work anymore. So I just downloaded the latest driver, but there's no way I can get it installed. According to Windows the new driver isn't newer, so it won't let me update it. And when i try to unistall the display driver, I have to reboot before it takes effect, and wile rebooting it automaticly installs the standard driver again.
Can anybody help me?
Greets,
Daan

Hi
Do you mean TV- out port or monitor port? As far as I know this unit is preinstalled with WXP Home and all drivers can be also used for WXP Pro.
Did you preinstall your own OS (non recovery image)?

2nd video card does not work

I have a spare Mac Pro here so I decided to remove the video card and put it in the one I'm using. Both machines were purchased in '09 and use the same video card (ATI Radeon HD 2600). The two monitors I have hooked into the original video card work fine but the monitors I hooked into the newly placed video card are not working. Under the About This Mac specs >> PCI cards it shows up and says driver is installed. Is there anything special you need to do to get a second video card to work?
Thanks.

I tried the SMC reset. I removed the card and reseated it. I'm seating it in slot 2 because that's the only other one that is x16. The other slots 3-4 are x4. Still nothing is showing up. When I go to System Preferences >> Displays >> Detect Dispalys nothing happens. The two displays plugged into the original video card work fine but the newly installed on does not show up. Here is what the Mac Info is detecting. Maybe this makes sense to someone. Not sure what MSI is referring to and the second video card is reading as "display" instead of "ATI Radeon HD 2600". Link speed on the second card is half that of the original.

Video Filter does not work.

Hello.
I have been using Final Cut Pro 4 for a while and it worked fine before. But recently, any function of Video Filter does not work. I apply them to the clip, but the image does not show any changes on Canvas.
Is the software's problem?
Thanks in advance.

For a reason unknown to me, FCP's preference files (there's 3 of them) will sometimes become corrupted and need to be trashed. Usually the symptoms are things just not working as they did earlier, or weird issues like the 3 Way Color Corrector looks different than before ... stuff like that.
FCP Rescue is a freeware app (yes, you'll need to download it) that will create a backup set of preferences, thereby retaining all of your settings. Then when (not IF, but when) FCP's preferences become corrupted, you can run FCP Rescue to replace the bad set with a fresh new set.
Otherwise you can delete the files yourself (make sure FCP isn't open at the time) and the next time you launch FCP, it will revert back to the factory settings.

DVI video out suddenly not working.

That's basically it. I have a 23-inch Cinema HD Display at home and at the the office. Suddenly the video out is not working with either of them. The displays control panel lists the external display, so the system is detecting the connected display.
There is nothing wrong with the displays. I connected an old PowerBook and they light up fine. With my MBP, the power light lights, but nothing is displayed on the Screen.

there's a somewhat similar thread "external monitor stopped working" with no answers
my 17" Studio display works as 2nd mon on other computers
my dvi out does work with a vga monitor and adapter, of course :))
i'm using the dvi to adc adapter -- could this be involved somehow?
my laptop display goes blue when i plug in the external monitor as it should, but the 2nd monitor never wakes up, turns on, etc.

My video recording sounds not working but other sounds are working fine, I've tried clearing the little mic thing near my earphone hole and had no success can someone please help me out?

hhi guys
my video recording sounds not working at all but it's working for other things such as music. I've tried to clear my sound thing near the earphone hole but had no success can someone please help me out?

Had an Iphone 4 for about 3 months now. This happened to the first one I had and they ended up having to replace it at the apple store just a couple weeks ago 6/2. It happened again last night to my new one. This time i was able to correct it by going to itunes, backing up the phone to icloud, and then restoring the software. Mine did not work with voice memo, but did work with headphones plugged in, and would also work on speaker. I could hear callers but they couldn't hear me. I had purchased a new case (lifeproof case at $79.99) because it comes with plugs that cover the headphone jack, and the charging port, and is also waterproof. I heard that the root cause is due to lint, dirt, etc getting inside the headphone jack. Well, must be something else. It's a 10 days old phone, and has been in this overpriced case the whole time, and I have not used the headphones. I hope this doesn't keep happening.
