Cannot share or videoconference screen

I use Skype 7.0.60 on a windows 8.1 with a 4.0 ghz processor and 8 GB of ram. I have a Logitech C920 Web cam.

Right out of free video call from me and my friends were able to use our webcams and easily share screens. Once the group that we were added more people (usually 5 in one call at a time). I could not share screens or activate my webcam. When I check the connection info, it says it can't be 10 people in a call to use the webcam. But everyone is able to use their webcams and share the screens perfectly.

I tried to uninstall Skype and update of the force, but the problem persists and the video call and share the screen options are grayed out in my settings. All I have this problem or knows how to solve this problem?

It is a known problem with the latest version of Skype 7.0. Is most probably due to the events of API call broken.

Try to uninstall version 7.0 and install the 6.21.0.104 previous version.

  • cannot share files from my Vista computer

    I have a home network with 4 PC on it. My main PC is a Vista desktop computer, it is connected to my router. The other PC is connected wirelessly. I have a laptop with windows 7. and 2 other desktops with xp installed.  My problem is the following...

I have no problem sharing the drive with other users on this pc... but I can't do it shared on the network. I tried all the conventional techniques of sharing, but no luck. I just get a message that the network resource is not available. It appears on my network under the PC, but it is not accessible. Initially, I wanted to share the entire disc... but advised him to be just a folder in the drive to share rather than trying to share the root of the drive... but still no luck.   What Miss me?

    Hi PhilMartineau,

    1. you receive an error message/code?

    2. are you on a domain computer/House Group?

    Printers that are directly connected to a network and not connected to a computer are available to anyone on the same network. These printers must have a network port or wireless connection that allows them to connect directly to the network.

  • Will set up the HP Photosmart 7510 new iMac OSX 10.7.3; Cannot get the home screen appears.

    Instead of the home screen, I get an error message ' no connection: your printer is not connected to a network. " If please connect to a network and try again. "I downloaded the software and latest drivers; my iMac recognizes the new HP printer.  But I must still be able to get the home screen to display on the printer so that I can do the basic settings.  I did the simple troubleshooting suggestions (for example, for printer disconnected from the socket wall and then plugged in;) I restarted the iMac; I uninstalled the software and drivers and reinstalled)... but no change, cannot get the home screen appears.

    The printer turned on, unplug the power to the back of the printer (not the wall) for 30 seconds.

    If this does not work, it seems that your printer is maybe defective.  Here's how to contact HP technical support: www.hp.com/go/totalcare (click on printers & monitors, there is a phone number on the resulting page).

  • Video is not working and cannot share the screen

    Hello, I have a little problem...

    What happens is that, in my group, I can not share my screen or use my webcam because the video button is gray and "Screen sharing" is not there. He said I can't have more than 10 people in the call, but I have only about 5-7 at the time and they can share screens or turn on their webcam. I'm the only person who can not. I already checked my video settings and my webcam works fine. I also already reinstalled Skype and it is always the case.

    What they do that I'm not?

    Thank you! ~

  • Cannot share screens with Skype Windows 8

    I can't share screens with Skype (Windows 8). I've looked everywhere but I couldn't find a solution for this.

    I tried: by clicking on the + button in a conversation as well as just by clicking on the contact and search for screen sharing button. See the two screenshots as an attachment.

    Can someone please help me to find the function of sharing screen on Skype version of windows 8?


    The application of the "modern" of Skype for Windows 8 does not yet support screen sharing.

    If you want to be able to use the screen sharing feature, then you must install the version of office 'normal '.

    The version of office currently last Skype can be installed here:

  • Cannot change the login screen to display all users.

    I'm unable to change the sign on screen to display all users.  It is said to remove the client service for netware (CSNW), when I go to remove only the open is available.  The service has not been started.

    Where did you go to remove the Client Services for Netware?

    Go to network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
    Right-click on the icon for your network adapter (most likely, Local area connection), and then select Properties
    On the general tab, you should see a list under "this connection uses the following items."
    Select the Client Services for Netware, click to remove the check mark, and then click Uninstall.
    OK your way out.
    Restart (it is not automatically)
    After Windows starts, go to control panel > user accounts > Change the way users log on and outside
    Select the options you want and click on apply changes.

    The list of questions should normally (personal computers) include only 4 following:

    Client for Microsoft networks
    QoS Packet Scheduler (optional)
    Sharing files and printers for Microsoft Networks (only if you want to share files or printers)
    Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol

    If you do not see Client Services for Netware on the general tab of the connection to the Local network or if you still have the problem after uninstalling it this connection, examine the properties of other components in the network connections.  For some of them (e.g. Dial-up), the list of questions is on the network rather than on the general tab tab.

    If you can't find the Client Services for Netware for ALL network connections (and therefore cannot remove), reinstall it, and then follow the instructions above to uninstall.

    To reinstall:

    1. go in the network adapter Properties/General tab you use and then click on install
    2. make sure that 'Client' is highlighted, and then click Add.
    3. highlight "Client Service for Netware", click OK
    4. leave your PC restart.

  • Cannot share files on Windows 7 Home Basic Edition

    I use the version of windows 7 Home Basic and I am aware that it is impossible to create a homegroup, but can join one... I wanted to share files over the local network. What is the way to do it. I've seen many threads explaining how to share files on homegroup, but I need that really... I want it for HOME BASIC... HOPE would help me as soon as possible!

    Original title: Mr. OMKAR

    Hello Omkar,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    Do you have Windows 7 Home Basic installed on all the computers connected to the LAN?

    Basically, as you rightly mentioned, "Windows 7 Home Basic can join only but cannot create a homegroup." He needs a higher edition of Windows 7 Home Premium, Ultimate or professional to create a homegroup, and then Windows 7 Home Basic Edition can participate. Then, I suggest you try file sharing help Sharing wizard as shown below.

    1. Open Windows Explorer on your taskbar.
    2. In the new window, click organize , and then click folder and search options.
    3. Click the view tab.
    4. The option use the wizard sharing (recommended)check box.
    5. Click OK.

    Now, follow the steps below to open the shared folder Wizard.

    • Press Windows key + R to open the run box.
    • Type shrpubw.exe and press ENTER.
    • Click Next on the home page.
    • You can also name (or rename) your PC. You should probably leave your computer
      name as it is, because this change here could cause conflicts with your computer
      name as defined by the system. You will need to set up the folder to share
      by clicking on the Browse button.
    • Click Next.
    • Name your share, and then click Next (you can also click change to change offline settings).
    • Follow the instructions on the screen to configure and customize the permissions and click Finish.
    • Click Finish to complete the installation.

    You should now have a folder shared, ready to access your other users.

    Hope this information is useful. If the problem still persists, please post back for further assistance, we will be happy to help you.

    I understand that you are not able to select the 'Message' option after choosing the option of 'Sharing of Contact' in the Contacts application. I'm more than happy to help.

    If you haven't done so already, please restart your iPhone and this new test to see if you are still unable to choose the option of sharing via a message. You can find more information on it here:

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

    Once you have finished, try to test with other contacts to see if you can reproduce the problem. It can also help to try to create a new contact to test with. Once you're done, let us know the outcome of the tests.

  • Mac OS El Capitan cannot share a VPN connection that is type of IKEv2

    I have a few VPN connections, I share via Wi - Fi on my mobile device. Here's what I do:

    I have a Macbook Pro with Ethernet port, I have some work VPN connections (some type of IPSec, some IKEv2). First I plug the cable to the Ethernet port, then I start a VPN (settings-> network-> Connect) connection, finally, I share the VPN (settings-> sharing-> Internet sharing) via Wi - Fi connection so that my mobile device can connect and use the VPN connection.

    This work really well for me with IPSec VPN connections. But today, I tried to switch to an IKEv2 VPN connection, the VPN works well, but I can't share it on a mobile device via Wi - Fi, because I couldn't see the connection in the list "share your connection from" (Preferences-> sharing-> Internet sharing system)

    Are there any technical problem that IKEv2 cannot be shared? Or is there that all parameters must be made so that all VPN connections must appear in the list to share?

  • Cannot share the SD as usb drive

    I'm under 1.1 on a fire of Alcatel filed. I enabled two options to share the sd card (which works fine) as a usb drive, but it does not recognize my computer (Debian). When I connect the phone, it creates an sdb entry in / dev, but without partition (sdb1).

    So far, the only way to achieve this is by issuing the command described here (http://yorik.uncreated.net/guestblog.php?2014=15), "Adding access usb to SD card" > step 5. I do whenever I plug in the phone, of course.

    Additional information:
    -The sd card works fine. I can use it on the computer with a microsd card.
    -The sd card works fine on the phone too.
    -J' have enabled usb drive and shared the sd card in the phone.
    -The page I linked indicates the partition should appear when I unlock the home screen, I have tried that but it still does not work.

    This has been resolved for me in rev version 1.1.0.0 01020.
