Hello
I couldn't find an answer final eslewhere.
I just bought a DCR-SX41 handycam. Is it possible to use it as a webcam for Skype?
My computer and Skype won't recognize the camera as a webcam.

I use a laptop with windows vista edition Home premium.

Hi Joe DigiTech

Can you give me details of "has / V USB adapter" exact product name liks, model No, part No, name of the manufacturer, etc. and the image of the product. ". I want to buy it

Thank you

This camcorder cannot be used as a Webcam because she does not have the following features: 1) USB streaming to USB cable) 2 DV OUT for a firewire cable.
However; Although the camcorder does not have these features, you can still use the A / V cable Send live video to your computer. Here's how it works:
(1) you will need an A / V of the USB adapter that you get one at Radio Shack or Bestbuy. This card will be delivered with a software. Then, install the software provided with the A / V of the USB adapter. Connect the A / V cable to your camera. Plug the other end of the A / V cable to the video input on the video/USB adapter. Connect the USB plug of the video/USB adaptor to a USB port on the computer.

(2) supply of the camera. Run the software that you have installed for the video/USB converter. Watch the video from the camcorder. If you do not, check your connections.

(3) start the Skype program. On the Skype top tool bar, click 'tools '. Click on 'Options', then click on "Video settings" on the left sidebar. Make sure the "Enable Skype video" box is checked. Menu area open «Select the Webcam» Choose "Default video device" If using the Firewire connection. Choose "USB device" If you use the video/USB adapter. You should see the camera video in the video window on the right side of the box "video settings".

Note: You will need to disable the auto-off feature on the camcorder to avoid the camera turn off byitself after 5 minutes. Disable the DEMO mode to avoid to activate when it is the current record. Operating instructions of the camera checked to disable these features.

  • Satellite P500-127: microphone or sound does not work with Skype

    Hello, team Toshiba,

    Recently bought a new laptop.
    However the microphone or the (pebble connexant high definition) sound driver does not work correctly when you use Skype. Also read about in various forums such as the Skype forum.
    People ran into similar problems such as:

    -------------------------------------------
    Usually, we can speak of a little more than 20 seconds, but the call will be at a random time between 1 and 15 minutes. The strange part is that sometimes the quality of the call is good, but more often my friend can't get along * half of what I say * while I don't usually have a problem to hear what was said. The video works so my friend can see talking me but can simply not really hear what I say.
    Before the fall of the call usually freezes for a few seconds and then Skype crashes sometimes. We tried to talk together without the video, but the problem remains.
    ---------------------------------------

    I also found a suggestion by the toshiba service, just to simply increase the volume under the Panel etc, but it does not work either...

    Can you please help me on this one?
    Cannot use Skype at all as she just to boring for everyone I talk... The quality is fair to poor.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I have the Skype m user too and to be honest, everything works fine!
    I can use my internal webcam as well!
    But I m using Win XP with Skype

    I assume you are using Win 7 and Skype

    To be honest, I doubt s number of Toshiba laptop
    If it would be a matter of (audio driver) laptop so you have seen the same problems recording and creating audio files... but I doubt that will happen...

    Therefore, it must be a software problem possibly a combination of Skype, Win 7 and driver Conexant
    Who knows

    But as I said above my Skype works well with Win XP!

  • Micro works not when using Skype. Problem is not with the microphone, but with Skype. Ive tried

    When you use Skype, my internal microphone does not work - friend says that he can not hear the voice, but he can hear other sounds - music on youtube for example. Ive tested the microphone on Skype Echo - it wasn't working at all. I tested it on a voice recorder - MIC was working properly. Also when I just started to use this laptop (3 days ago), I spoke with a friend through Skype for about 3 hours, and then he couldn't hear me suddenly annymore. If something is wrong with Skype. Computer consultant suggested me to contact Skype support technicians.

    In Skype, open Tools-> Options-> Audio settings. There is more than one option available in the selection box for Microphone?

  • Problem of sound with Skype only - HP Pavilion laptop Windows 7 x 64

    I have problems with the sound with Skype only - all other software that requires a sound work fine.  I don't hear my correspondent.  My Skype settings seem to agree and I get no error message.

    I run 7 x 64 window.  I have a laptop HP Pavilion G7.

    Any help?

    Hello

    Sorry, you have problems. For Windows 7, try this:

    Sign in to Skype. Click Tools at the top of the window, and then select Options in the menu drop-down. Click Audio settings in the left pane. Under the speakers, you can:

    • Use the Volume slider to adjust the volume.
    • Click on the arrow down in the drop-down menu to select the appropriate stakeholders.
    • Test the speakers by clicking on the green arrow next to the drop-down list of speakers.
    • Click on the link to make a free test call to make a test call.

    It may be a good idea to plug a headset as a test to see if it works. You don't need a headset with a microphone; Just use any headset allows you to listen to your music on your iPod. The nice thing about using a stereo headset is that you can always talk through the microphone on your computer, but only you will hear responses from your correspondents, and is as much your comments.

    Skype has a document of support practice that may help you: I can't hear my friend... (Windows desktop) .

    And now, the delicate question: it is possible that your friend accidentally cut his microphone? Or what is happening with all of your calls?

  • Can I send sms with Skype overview?

    I saw Skype on my windows 10... but is it possible to send SMS with Skype preview because they said it's free... but I can't?

    Not at the moment, but let me clarify that:

    Before the update birthday you could send both SMS and Skype IM Messenger + Skype app, it stopped, and I think as functionality of it will go to Skype (we assume the application overview, but it may not be called that forever).

    You can of course always send SMS from your PC using Cortana sends using your phones SMS service.

    You can send SMS via Skype, but it currently costs money, so you need Skype credit or a subscription that included text Messages (not seen one of those).

  • 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:

  • What is (and isn't!) free with Skype?

    I am a "newbie" to Skype & am confused about what is free with Skype Office program! Throughout the site are things like "make free video calls", but calls to fixed and mobile lines seem to require a subscription & an accusation of "cost per minute! How can I make free video calls from Mobile/smartphone for smartphone/laptop computer using Skype without a phone number?

    You can do it if Skype is also installed on this computer laptop/smartphone. To make Skype-to-Skype audio and video calls for free, you can not call a number in phone but another user of Skype. To do this, you must do this Skype Skype username (ID) in your contact list.

  • Set the IP with Skype

    Do you intend to resolve this anytime soon? This is extremely annoying and useless to use Skype if others know your Skype name when you are well known on online games.

    Whenever I use Skype, my current IP address is revealed, and I made a target for those who have other attacks.

    If you're not aware, there is a flaw with Skype and not something that I installed. Anyone is able to search all users IP address without having them added or have never been in contact with them.

    This is a huge security breach and until it's solved I can't use Skype as it should be used.

    Please fix soon.

    I had high hopes for the implementation of direct connection but quickly realized there was matter, that your IP address is exposed via Skype. This setting masked the problem for less than a week.

    It is unfortunate that people have to use using a proxy to protect their privacy when using Skype, but if it works I am happy for you. In the end I had to exit Skype entirely to other VOIP services, as privacy has become a requirement for work

  • Is there a problem with Skype, for now?

    Hello people.

    I run a G4 and 10.411 using an older version of Skype with a software patch that I found in one of the Skype topics on this site. It has been working fine for months. I do not use only audio video. I have a subscription to call land lines. The problem I have is that I can call and hear the person I called, but they cannot hear me. Is there a problem with Skype today? Or they made changes from today that do not allow to use the patch and an old version of Skype? Any information would be appreciated.

    I just found out that there were internet problems yesterday and today. According to me, which may have been the cause of my problems from Skype. Here is the response I got from my ISP tech guy when I sent him to see if there are problems of the internet this weekend: 'Yes. There was a routing problem beyond our network or upstream suppliers. »

  • Is it possible to reactivate Qosmio G10 mode standby with Skype call?

    I would like to know if it is possible (and how) to use my Qosmio G10 as a phone with videoconferencing as easy as with a normal phone, I mean how to leave the laptop to low-power mode and let Skype awake it automatically and directly ring when you receive a call.

    I use it without problem when the laptop is not in a sleep mode, but if someone calls when the laptop is in low-power mode, so it does not ring. of course, I don't want to leave a fashion of maximum energy all the time...

    Anyone know a solution? I guess it happens this way because in mode low energy, wi - fi seems to order, because when my computer wakes, then it displays a message saying that 'now he is connected.

    Thanks for any help

    Hi Bea

    Your idea is very interesting but unfortunately I don't think it's possible.
    Activation of the sleep or Hibernate mode is not possible with Skype or other IP phone application because this function must be supported by the BIOS.

    But the BIOS doesn't support something like that
