Webcam resolution problem after sharing screen

If you have a call running with cameras on and one shares a screen for a bit the resolutions goes back to 640x480 (4:3). When you turn screen sharing off again it won't sync back up to HD. It's very annoying!
It also happens if only one person has the camera running.
Does it really have to lower the resolution? And why doesn't it go back to full resolution after you shut it down?
From what I've seen there's no way for it to go back up without restarting the call. It seems like just a retarded bug to me. Please have a look and I hope to have it fixed asap

This is not really a bug, but a an irritating feature, and has been like this since screen sharing with video was enabled.
When screen sharing, the call behaviour is like with group video calls, i.e. the connection is transferred from being P2P to be server based. The video format on group video calls is 4:3.
Apparently, until now , Skype developers have not yet figured out how to switch back to the P2P mode after screen sharing is stopped.

  • Anyone experiencing screen resolution problems after latest Mavericks Update?

    Anyone got a blurred monitor after the latest Mavericks Update?
    I am running  Mavericks 10.9.2 on a Mini Mac with a Logic TV/Monitor. Since the latest Mavericks update I no longer have the option in settings to scale to 1600 x900. Since this gives the best picture on my monitor I now have either a blurred screen with large text or a blurred screen with very tiny text. No other options that give a 'normal' display seem available now, after allowing the 'Update'. The update claims to be addressing faults on the MacBook display, which it may well do, but it has also apparently screwed up Mac Mini screen resolution Options for some of us.
    I have reverted back to 10.9.2 and turned off automatic updates, but I can't stay that way indefinitely.
    I've tried to find an e-mail address or phone number to log my complaint to Apple but to no avail. (I guess they would otherwise be inundated with customer complaints so keep that kind of information under wrapps). Anyone got any ideas?

    I'm not having any problems with dual DVI connected Samsung 21.5" monitors in 10.9.3
    What connection (adapter, cable, etc.) are you using..?

  • Screen resolution problem after i-tunes installed on XP pro

    Just purchased 5th Generation 60Gb for my daughters 16th Birthday which starts in about 14 minutes! Loaded the software on her XPpro service pack 2 laptop. When itunes executed the screen resolution drops to 8 bit! It can be changed in control panel and all works fine. but each time re boot itunes and the problem returns!
    Loaded on my desktop and everything fine also. tried the ms config stuff as per site and immediate problem when ms software disabled. Would seem to be a software conflict and compatability problem. The laptop is a fujitsu which is 2 years old. the older version of i-tunes which she downloaded about a year ago worked ok. Sadly we uninstalled it before installing the new version from the disc. Tried update from the site but it indicates the DC version is the latest.
    Interesting to read some of the problems that flks have had with the ipods. This one seems OK but does have a 'do not disconnect logo which hangs up and doesn't go away. However, if I do disconnect the computer 'burps' at me then all is well and forgotten!
    Oh yes. how do you delete unwanted songs once uploaded? Is there a simple 'delete' button?
    Any thoughts anyone as I've now spent all evening on it and it's her birthday in the morning (8th June)
    thanks in anticipation

    sorted problem by changing computer! probably softward hardware conflict with iTunes

  • Resolution Problems after Leopard Install....MacBook screen too small?!

    Everything from Safari, Firefox, iTunes, Pages have been affected. After installing Leopard it seems that my Macbook's 13 inch screen is too small instead of it automatically formatting the information. Even my Dashboard after installing Leopard had to be cleaned up because the previous Widgets were covering the entire screen. I'm including a link to a picture of "Creating a new Pages document from the Template chooser" to show you what I mean. Do I really have to reinstall Leopard to fix this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe the default settings for labels and text in Finder windows, if that's what you mean, is 12 point. You you can change font size through View Options. Text sizes for menus, etc. is fixed; I don't know what the size is specifically. For Firefox, text size for web pages is specified by the web site generally, but you can change the size Firefox will default to in the Firefox Content preferences.
    I hope I've answered the question you were asking. Regards.

  • Preview app retina resolution problems after Mavericks upgrade

    Hi everyone!
    after upgrading from Mountain Lion to Mavericks, the Preview app (Version 7.0) stops working in Retina resolution.
    For instance, a 2500pix graphics now does not fit in the monitor (2880x1800 pix native resolution) when displayed at actual size, i.e. 1 image pixel per 1 screen pixel. It is rendered at twice as low resolution.
    As with the previous os x mountain lion, in Mavericks too I am using "Best (Retina)" screen resolution mode in the Display Preferences.
    Any idea how to resolve this?
    actually, I belive this is some sort of bug of the Preview app.
    Is there anyone else having the same issue? If yes, please reply to this
    i have a macbook pro retina 15"

    Hi everyone,
    i have a solution!
    well at least that worked for me.
    It is nothing like a bug or software problem. It is just that after mavericks install for some reason i found a change in my Preview app preferences. So i set it correctly and now everything is back and working correctly.
    Go to the Preview Preferences, then choose the "Images" section/tab, then choose "Size on screen equals size on printout" option, and thats it!
    Try this out and I hope this works for you too!

  • Resolution problems after upgrading to SL

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard on my 2008 iMac, the resolution is off. The window is too big for the physical screen. I tried changing it in System Preferences -> Displays, but nothing works. For example, if I can see the apple on the upper left corner, I can't see the date/time on the right. When I move the mouse to the right, it shifts over and makes the apple, [program running], and File disappear. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Turn off Zoom from the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.

  • External Display resolution problem after resetting PRAM

    Gello, I've got Fujitsu-Siemens P19-2 monitor hooked up to my MbookPro and after resetting PRAM the correct display resolution disappeared from the "Displays" menu in System PReferences.
    So did the refresh rate option...
    What do I do?
    I really need to change the refresh rate and the resolution, but the refresh rate button is grey and unclickable, and the resolution simply isn't there (I need 1280x1024).
    REsetting PRAM and SMC didn't help.

    After a couple of resets everything went back to normal

  • Resolution Problem with External Screen

    I hooked up a 26" LCD TV to my iMac. When I go into the resolutions tab it only gives me 4:3 resolution which stretches on my 16:9 TV. I tried SwtichResX to set a custom resolution but it did not work. Anyone have any ideas?

    I'd be surprised that it would survive all your resets, but the problem might be that you have accidentally turned on the Universal Access Zoom used for sight impaired people. Check System Preferences / Universal Access and see if Zoom is set to on or off. Off would be good.

  • Resolution Problems After Mac Mini Wakes Up

    I have a 1.66MHz Core Duo Mac Mini hooked up to a Westinghouse LTV-27w6HD LCD TV. The screen is set to 1366 X 768 resolution and looks fine when the mini first boots up. Once the Mini goes to sleep however things go wrong. When it wakes up the screen is off center with the right side of the screen messed up. Any help?

    Just a minor correction to an otherwise good set of suggestions:
    Since this is an Intel mini, the PMU reset isn't the right procedure (Intel mini's don't have a PMU). For Intel systems, it's an SMC reset, which is almost the same procedure, but not quite.
    To reset the SMC:
    -From the Apple menu, choose Shut Down (or if the computer is not responding, hold the power button until it turns off).
    -Unplug all cables from the computer, including the power cord and any display cables.
    -Wait at least 15 seconds.
    -Plug the power cord back in, making sure the power button is not being pressed at the time.
    -Then reconnect your keyboard and mouse to the computer.
    -Press the power button on the back to start up your computer.

  • Resolution problem after Update

    I recently updated my Macbook Pro, I ran the 10.6.2 security update that the software update told me to, I restarted it as told to but when it restarted my resolution had changed and all of my icons and the dock were rearranged. Also when I open safari or firefox the text sizes are wrong.
    I tried changed the resolution back but it is still off. Anyway to undo the update? Or is this something I did.
    Thanks for any help, I've tried everything I know.

    Maybe I missed something, but AFAIK, there's no *+10.6.2 security update+*. If you meant the 10.6.2 update, then manually download and install the 10.6.2 COMBO update from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosxv1062updatecomb o.html
    repair permissions, and restart.

  • Video problems, no ttys, screen resolution changes

    Recently I have updated the nvidia drivers and others packages. Now, when the window manager (openbox) starts there is a horizontal line in the screen.
    If I press Ctrl+Alt+Fn no tty is shown.
    If I logout, the screen resolution at the login screen (Im using SLim) is below the normal and the screen looks shifted to the right, if I login the screen size is smaller  and the top of the screen is reflected in the bottom, and sometimes after logout I dont get the Slim screen but the login prompt.
    The nvidia driver version is 304.84-1.
    My dmesg show this:
    [   17.084546] NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console
    [   17.084553] NVRM: on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver
    [   17.084556] NVRM: requires the use of a text-mode VGA console. Use of other console
    [   17.084559] NVRM: drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in
    [   17.084561] NVRM: corruption and stability problems, and is not supported.

    Hi Gery
    Thanks for the useful information.
    I have noticed a similar issue with Vista running on my non-Toshiba notebook The graphic driver update helps definitely.
    Best regards

  • Screen Resolution problem in BDC

    Hi,
    I am writing a BDC for credit memo creation using FB65 transaction in 4.6b version.
    I am facing BDC problems because of screen resolution. Is there a way to determine the number of lines items that may show up in the table control based on the resolution.
    There is no position button available in 4.6b . also page down is not working.
    Could anyone suggest an alternative?

    Hi,
    Use the below syntax...
    CALL TRANSACTION tcode... OPTIONS FROM opt
    ... OPTIONS FROM opt
    Effect
    Allows you to control processing using the values of the componetns of the structure opt, which must have the ABAP Dictionary type CTU_PARAMS. The components have the following meanings:
    DISMODE
    Display mode (like the MODE addition)
    UPDMODE
    Update mode (like the UPDATE addition)
    CATTMODE
    CATT mode (controls a CATT)
    CATT mode can have the following values:
    ' ' No CATT active
    'N' CATT without single-screen control
    'A' CATT with single-screen control
    DEFSIZE
    Use default window size
    RACOMMIT
    Do not end transaction at COMMIT WORK
    NOBINPT
    No batch input mode (that is, SY-BINPT = SPACE)
    NOBIEND
    No batch input mode after the end of BDC data.
    The components DEFSIZE , RACOMMIT, NOBINPT, and NOBIEND always take the following values:
    'X' Yes
    ' ' No
    If you do not use the OPTIONS FROM addition, the following control parameter settings apply:
    DISMODE
    From addition MODE
    UPDMODE
    From addition UPDATE
    CATTMODE
    No CATT active
    DEFSIZE
    Do not use default window size
    RACOMMIT
    Successful end on COMMIT WORK
    NOBINPT
    Batch input mode active ( SY-BINPT = X
    NOBIEND
    Batch input mode remains active after the BDC data

  • Macbook Pro late 2013 - problem with login screen resolution

    Hi,
    I've got problem with login screen resolution, after upgrade to Yosemite. I use the 4rd resolution (last one) on my Mac Pro (late 2013), and after restart login screen is always on optimum mode... But it's only about the login screen.
    Do you know how can I fix it? I would like to have the same resolution on every screen.
    thx in advance

    I  Reformatted the CF card  on the new computer   it works fine now on the new Mac Pro
    Interesting point about  the low power  of the usb ports   I had to deal with all devices ejecting them selves  when the mac pro  was idle or slept  Drobo needed a Firmware update and another drives  needed  me  to change the sleep setting  or the Mac Pro   to never and  i also  had to deploy a  script to write to each device  ever minute,   this  kind  of sold the problem  with external Hard drives.   I wonder if the lowering  power  to a CF card   can eject  it  in a manor  which would make the  computer  think it is corrupt.
    I have looked at  buying a power usb Hub    but seems only one or two  of the ports are powered. 
    Seems to be a bit problem with the mac pro especially  as everything has to be connected externally  
    Will assume the Firewire Connector does not work.

  • EHP1 Upgarde Monitor screen resolution problem in a support message

    Hi Experts,
    We have recently upgraded our Solution manager to EHP1, iam facing a screen resolution problem with 15 inch monitors.
    Our key users have 15 inch monitors to their system and when they try to reply a support message under transaction data-> Overview tab -> reply it is showing only one line for them , due to which they are unable to enter the complete data in it.
    How ever We have found that this does not occur with 17 inc monitors as the required screen resoution 1280* 1024 is possible due to bigger size of the monitor.
    can any one suggest how to make the overview tab visible completely with small resolution monitors.
    Thanks
