Windows 10: During a Skype video call the other person cannot hear what is being played in my...

During a video call the other person cannot hear what is being played in my computer even at 100% volume. I use skype to teach and it´s a problem. I never had this problem with linux. I need the other part to listen to what I play on my computer to practice listenings.

Enable Video Call for Skype

My personal experience was very easy (my difficulty is getting nokia messaging to send!). I simply updated to 1.2 and i have a friend i regularly talk to on Skype. At first there was no option for video calling, they logged on later and it appeared - i clicked
their name and it had the usual 'skype call' 'skype im' and under that it had 'skype video call'.



What i'd suggest doing first is download the latest skype on your PC (the version is listed in this thread i believe), log in with a separate account to the one on your N900, do 'echo' and check it's working and also connect a webcam if possible. Then add
that accout to your contacts list in the account you actually use (so, the one on the N900 needs your 'test account' added in the contacts list). Go online for both, open contacts and click on that contact and with any luck it should say 'video call'

The person I am calling cannot hear me

Hello June,

Please be informed that Skype is an inbuilt feature in Windows 10 phones which cannot be uninstalled.

However, if you want to get rid of your Skype contacts from the phone's contact list, follow the below steps.

1. Go to Settings > Account & sync > Skype, and from the menu button, select "Remove" and tap "OK" on the prompt.

2. Open up the Skype app, and log in again. This time, choose not to sync your Skype contacts when given the option.
