No, I've made videocall with person, who doesn't have webcam. On windows the latest Skype-version is necessary only (and your friend should allow accept videocalls)

The other user was on a pc, with web-camera, and it was a tried and tested skype platform, with hitherto no problems.

Any progress on this, Brethren?


Mske sure that the pc skype is updated to the latest version thats how mine started working

Can you write IM to skype people who are offline ???
For me, this feature is not available now.

It disappeared for me, also. It came back after I disabled my skype account and reenabled it, as someone suggested near the beginning of the thread.

Unfortunately, this solution only works to a certain extent...
Only works if your contacts are online, if they are online I can only see skype video call option....no im option exists..
The im option only exists if I am offline,and vithout a video call option and then I cannot send anything :confused:

Basically I cannot send an im to a contact that is offline now :(

the only way to do that is if I already use a previous im conversation and continue from there......but I cant start a new one :mad:

I tested yesterday and it's pretty cool!
Decent image and good sound.

I tried both ways, making the call and receiving it and everything worked.

Nice one for Nokia/Skype.

Same here I tried it and worked fine, though once the skype video call dropped...

Re: Video Calls with Skype N900
 
I'm happy to be honest.
The only thing that I am struggling with is that if I start a video call to pc with 4.2 running I don't get to see their image, but if they start the call to me then I do, is something wrong on the PC skype settings that I haven't thought of?

thanks
Chris

Re: Video Calls with Skype N900
 
I just tested some settings.

It seems the contact must have the newest skype version AND a webcam connected when you log on to skype.
Webcams connected after you log on to skype with the n900 are not recognised. However, the other party can still initiate the skype call.
