Can see them but they can't see me while on SKYPE connection

If you're talking about the little spinning arrow it really isn't it's just a quirk between Skype and the Browser Window.

Hi,
Check This file at youtube might help you out.

• If you are on a network that uses a proxy server, make sure your proxy settings are correct.

1. In Internet Explorer: In the menu bar, click Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings.
2. In Skype, in the menu bar click Tools > Connection options...

• Make sure your firewall allows exceptions.

1. If you are using Windows Firewall, click Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall, and make sure that Don't Allow Exceptions is NOT ticked.
2. If you are using a different firewall, click Start > All Programs and select your firewall. Make sure that exceptions are allowed. If Skype is listed in the Exceptions tab, remove it.
3. Sign in to Skype. When prompted, select Yes to allow Skype to connect to the internet.

• Ensure that Skype is able to use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections.

Hello,

This is may be because your firewall is blocking skype connections!
Go to Control Panel then open Windows Firewall, Just click on the exception tab and try to see if you can locate skype there! If not browse to add skype.exe in the exception list!


C:\Program Files\Skype\

Hope this will help you in resolving the skype issue for you.

Cheers!!!!

upgrade your SKYPE program to recognize your web camera settings... good luck!

look for cam driver compatible with skype.

Skype needs to be configured for people to see you.
Open Skype, Click on Tools tab, then Options, then Video Settings.
Select the WEB camera from the pull down list and click on your WEB cam.
Tick Enable Skype video
Tick Start my video automatically when I am in a call

In Automatically receive video from - select anyone or only people in my Contact List.

In Show that I have Video to - select People in my Contact List

Then Click on Save.

In the Audio Settings - make sure you have selected the correct mic. and the other settings, don't forget to save.

Close Skype - now when you receive a call or when you call someone they should noe see you.

Have fun.

everything seems to be connected correctly, but when I try to talk to someone I can see them, but they see me only hear me. I did do a update to see if it would solve the problem. Now I get an unabel to connect message

This is a regular Vista idiocy, occurring from time to time to random applications and has nothing to do with Skype. Thanks, Mr. Gates.

How to fix it:

1. Go to your Skype program directory, then navigate to the subdirectory Phone.
2. Right-click the Skype executable, select Properties.
3. Go to Compatibility tab.
4. Select compatibility mode, and choose Run this program in compatibility mode - Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Using Skype 3.8.0.180

Go to Menu-Tools-Options-Advanced and give your voip321 access to skype application.

I had the same problem, solved when I allowed the skype phone to access skype.
