Why Skype calls can drop?
I just realized that Skype is the only program that I use when calls are down in fact sometimes. Why it does this? Curse works very well, Teamspeak, too. Skype is the only program I know that sometimes descends just calls without a visible reason.
To be more precise with my question: what part of Skype is different from other programs and causes these call drops?
When your connection network is bad, etc., high latency Skype and Teamspeak also whch. The part of 'difference' can be thet Skype whch until others do and try to rebuild a better connection.
Programs like Skype VoIP uses UDP for communications, UDP is connectionless, which means there is no guarantee that the packets arrive. This translates into seriously bad audio/video quality, the point of uselessness if your latency is high, down and retry are so logical.
Try to have a computer to use all your download speed and use Teamspeak, if you don't have any set of QoS, you will probably arrive after awhile (reconnection) cause of time long response on the server.
In short, in most cases where you get dropped to Skype, it's because the quality of the service is bad, most Skype drops occur after you said 'I can't hear you", suggesting that your bandwidth is low or if you have latency high (using this route to the other host).

Fixed Skype calls keep dropping out
Hello
I run a small design studio and rent a landline Skype for my customer calls which I use with creative headphones. Unfortunately, every time someone calls me after 3 or 5 minutes, he gave up and I have to call back them and apologize. I have the latest version of Skype for mac.
I'm Mac opperating system Mavericks or 10.9.1
Using a BT wired with Ethernet router with good speed.
He drives me crazy!
Anyone can help or maybe has a similar problem.
It is the memory allocation? Or my BT? Or Skype? Help!
I found the solution to this and I thought I'd post it here.
Basically, we have infinite BT at work and by default it boasts an active wifi BT framework, not to be confused with the wireless settings, but the wifi BT means people can piggy back on your broadband. It is outrageous that BT Bill share you your BB with others but that's why I switched from a landline to Skype BT. Your loss of BT
Anyway just go your BT router via the Admin Panel and deactivate the BT wifi setting, it was clipping and drop my calls on Skype. He is fine now. It takes 24 hours to activate.
It will not effect the broudband.

Why lock an iphone hang up Skype calls now?
I recently updated my iPhone and it has changed apparently randomly how Skype works on an iphone now, when, in a call on Skype, if you lock your phone in order to book the power that he immediately hangs up the call. Is it possible to disable this because it's a terrible idea, and I'd rather have my screen locked especially if I'm in a Skype call on my phone for a long period of time. Otherwise, the Skype team can consider making it an option to disable this feature. Thank you.
There is an easy solution for this. Locate the Skype settings (my info > settings) then turn off built-in calls.

In the hearing of the CP, how can you record a Skype call?
I don't see a way to get Skype as input source.
You probably can't. Audition records just any signal that is called by the audio device to your computer, be it the sound chip on board basis or a professional audio interface. It is on the controls to you audio device that you have selected your source.
Unfortunately, most of the manufacturers have removed options like "What U Hear" or "Line Out" of their selection menus. " It was under pressure from the recording industry who thought that this ability was used to pirate music.
There are ways around it for Skype. There is a piece of software called 'Virtual Audio Cable"which would let you do - unfortunately not free and quite tedious to put in place. Virtual Audio cable home page
Or, if you can deal with recording in a separate bit of software and editing at the hearing, there are a number of specialist Skype recorders. I used one called "ifree Skype Recorder" recording Skype calls with iFree Skype Recorder - your FREE Skype software call recorder with great success.
Finally, if you have mixer etc. Sometimes, I have rigged a system to use my smartphone to call Skype, create UNMIS RSS mix in mixer and record at the hearing. I must admit that it was more to see if I could because I had to!

To make a video call, the person receiving the call can not see me, but they can hear me
Hi Eddie,.
As the person receiving the call is able to hear and unable to see, we need to check if the video settings are set correctly.
Which application do you use to make video calls?

It's a feature planned, no, it will not appear on your monthly bill. It comes to VoIP, it is not through PSTN provider, it's the internet :-)

Various questions about the Skype call abroad.
Hi all!
I'm recently cheated by my phone company, so I plan on starting to call Skype to landlines and mobile phones. I've always used Skype from one computer to another, so I really have no idea how the Skype call would work from a computer to a phone. Phone of the receiver must be connected to one internet line in orden to receive the call?
Even more stupid question: How does all this work?
I live overseas and it is thought only to be able to call my family in my country of origin, which is both fixed lines and some mobile phones.
Should I create a new number (or number will have for me), or will I use my Skype ID for calls? And how can they call me?
Thanks in advance for your patience

You can call any phone Skype if you have a subscription or credit.

If they would be able to call from a phone, then you need a Skype number.

Hi all
I've seen a few of these topics that are similar, but none that I have met have my setup. Let me describe quickly.
I have my laptop speakers, a usb headset that I use for Skype and that I don't have permanent plugged into the laptop using a mini-jack.
The problem I have is that whenever I'm on a Skype call, it seems, as all audio workarounds (except the Skype call), my helmet and comes straight out of my laptop speakers. My usb headset works as it should as the default communications device.
Can any suggestions on how I make sure that the sound signal (non-Skype) happens in my helmet when I'm on a call?
Thank you!
Kenneth
Hi, thanks for the response.
Basically, the reason for audio devices is that it is my work computer. So I have decent headphones for practically everything. Then I have the headset for Skype and other communication applications. The speakers of the laptop, I didn't really the possibility of withdrawing
I managed to fix the problem by removing an audio device that seemed to isolate my headphones into the socket. This means that the 2 devices are separated instead of having an audio option of the speakers/headphones.
Hope this was able to help someone else with the same problem.
Thanks again,
Kenneth

Microphone internal mute after a Skype call
Devices/Skype Info: LG G Pad 8.3 (V500) w / stock Android 5.0.2 & WiFi (home network), Skype v6.15.0.1162
After completing a call Skype the internal MIC is silent and does not work in subsequent calls or among all the apps of the device (e.g., Google Voice Search, Hangouts, WhatsApp, etc.). Only after restarting the device, the internal MIC will work again.
Steps to reproduce:
1. start a Skype call (no matter if it's with or without video). The microphone works well, both parties can hear each other.
2 to end the call (regardless of which party the call hangs).
After the end of the call from the internal microphone stops working. If I run a new call, I can hear the other party but they don't hear me. The icon to mute the mic than silent watch is turned off (active micro) and clicking it has no effect (i.e. only changes the appearance of the icon but the mic is always cut in any case). The microphone does not work until the next reboot. This problem affects all applications using the MIC until the next reboot.
This same behavior happened a few months before, but it was fixed after Skype update. This could be a regression.
There is absolutely no problem at all when you use the microphone with the rest of the applications (except if a call is made with Skype).Fixed prior to version 6.19.0.460 (probably a couple of versions).
Thank you guys!

Volume Control Center does not work during a Skype call
Volume Control Center does not work during a Skype call.
That's exactly what I got after upgrade to 9.0.2 and 6.3 of Skype iOS
I use Control Center to adjust the volume in applications. I can't use the volume button of material - it's broken.
I thought that I could go back to the previous version of Skype (because I remember the working software volume slider), but the AppStore suggests none of the previous versions. I can't find another Skype.ipa than 6.3 anywhere. I tried to restore my ipad support Skype, but the program hangs for hours saying "Installation."
Any help, please?
Well, found a solution for the broken button by activating AssistiveTouch under settings > general > accessibility > AssistiveTouch.
