Toby (bossgard) is at his wits end trying to get Skype running fully featured.
When he starts Video, his computer crashes.
He bought a Logitech video
We couldn't get it to work with Skype
However, he then installed Logitech Vid, a program similar to Skype
it worked fine! I could see him, he could see me, and we could chat.
However, he wants the Share Screen functionality, so I can give him demos and talk him through things on his computer etc.
Currently, Logitech Vid does not have that feature.
Now in desperation, he has purchased a Microsoft Webcam VX2000 (video and audio test ok)
We tried last night.
He called me on Skype using Call (Not Video call)
I answered taking the option Reply (but not reply with video)
He could hear me
I could not hear him
When he clicked Start Video, his computer crashed.
I asked Toby to do the Skype Video test:
Go to Tools > Options > Calls > Video settings.
When Skype is able to use your webcam, you will see a video preview of yourself.
Toby has reported:
No, if I do this procedure.
When I click on Video settings, is when I crash.
It was that way with Logitech and now with the Mircrosoft Webcam.
Some info about his installation:
Internet security- he is running AVG Grisoft ver 9.0.725
He went into his Firewall settings. Every thing marked Skype is allowed internet communication.
The webcam is plugged directly into the back of CPU.
From Toby:
What I see of myself on web camera is good picture. Only thing else running on USB is my Kodak camera dock, and that only keeps the camera battery charged.
I am wondering if I my CPU even has the 'proper equipment installed' to run Video calling
First question folk:
Is anyone running AVG Grisoft ver 9.0.725 successfully with Skype?
Any and all suggestions would be very much appreciated
