Holy crap I remember watching this video over and over again as a child and I just decided to a little dive into Skype for nostalgia and I found this video and oh my god, everything from the sounds and hand movements take me to a different time. Great tutorial btw.
Yeah, you can. On 8.0 you can't control the size of the snap and so if you place it in the smaller window (1/3 of the screen) it wastes space but in 8.1 (coming in a couple of months) you will have full control over the size.
Hi Sherpa, how do i delete my video chat history, i went to options and cleared history but when i open resume a video chat, the log history shows up, i.e. time and duration of vid chats. Thx
Sorry for the delay. I didn't have access to my second system to try it out yesterday. Skype does work from the small snap screen on Win8 but it cuts off part of the image for the person calling you. Still usable but I'll try to play around with it during the week to see if there is a way to tell it to scale the whole window versus cutting.
I have a problem. My mom in another state has the andoroid samsung tablet and I have a wireless lap top. When we video call each other we cannot hear each other . Nothing from my windows 7 laptop and nothing from her table. Do you know why this is? I have a pair of headsets I plugged into the laptop and sound from her came through that, but she could not hear me when I unplugged it from my lap top can't hear anything. I can watch you tube videos without the headset. What is wrong can you help?
You only need to pay to get a number if you want to call people on cell phones or land lines or vice versa. As long as you are calling to/from other Skype users it is free.
