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:

  • Start window manager: sometimes when I started my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.

    Sometimes when I start my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.  Although there are several options available, that nothing happens no matter what keys I hit and the only option is to shut down the computer and restart completely.  Sometimes the Boot Manager page turns and my office sometimes opens fine.  I've updated with everything Microsoft has Windows Vista and I still get this screen.  Anyone has any ideas.

    Do a startup repair and see if that fixes it:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  • My computer cannot fully start with recent Windows 7 update (details inside)

    Shortly after starting my computer brand new for the first time, an update of Windows was necessary for my computer.

    There was a large number of items to be updated on my computer, making a total of about 350 MB to download, more than 150 additional MB for optional upgrades such as my graphics Nvidia GTX 260 update and something else driver.

    After downloading this and asked to restart my computer, I restarted. And then, when I started, instead of display the login screen, it was written (I have a version in French of Windows 7 Home Premium) "configuration of the preparation of Windows" feel, in a direct translation, that the computer is «preparing the Windows configuration» I thought that this generally follow the update to a Windows 7 computer, and so I waited...

    And waited...

    And waited...

    After one and a half hours, I thought that my computer froze or simply ignored the task to "prepare the Windows configuration" and had done nothing. So, I manually closed and restarted the computer.

    And the same screen popped up again. I waited an hour until I've restarted once more. And, after half an hour, I finally turned off my system.

    If there is any useful information, about 36 updates important which comprised a total of 150 MB for a total of about 350 MB, more the two additional updates being a graphics card update driver and something else, which were both there. Download of the updates went surprisingly fast - in 7 minutes about, half-gigabyte update was finished, although there were three errors of update, more as Office 2007 and plugins support, which I didn't. I went ahead and rebooted.

    Is it normal to wait so long for a computer to boot after you download an update? and a half hours? More another time and yet another half hour? 3 hours?

    Thanks to anyone who can answer/help me with this! I just got this computer!

    Never mind! I finally managed to cancel the update and to redownload and reinstall them successfully!
