Skype for Mac video tip

By Andrus on July 5, 2007 in Tips and tricks.

Did you know you can move self-image around in a video call? I did. (Simply click on the self-image in a video call and drag it wherever you want to). But I never realized you can make a meeting over Skype video look like you are present if the room is of a certain size - at least to yourself

If you press F9 (or whatever button you use for Exposé) you can even drag the little window out of the container. Notably Skype sometimes crash when you do this, and the timing must be perfect.

I'ld like to be able to resize my self-image because sometimes it's too big and I can't see the other person, and I don't always want to resize the window itself.

MY SKYPE PROGRAM IS GETTING A TON OF CHATS. NOW THE WHOLE PROGRAM IS STUCK. I CAN'T GET IT TO CLOSE DOWN OR DO ANYTHING. A BLANK ADDRESS BOOK IS ON MY SCREEN AND I CAN'T GET IT TO DO ANYTHING. HELP!!!

I just downloaded the new skype for mac. I have the new logiteck quickcam vision pro. I can't get the audio to work in the test call.

Do I really have to buy a videocam? At one point my Macbook said that I could have video capability but now it doesnt seem to work? Can you get the video capability without the extra bucks?

I have a MAC and can't see the person i am skyping? i can see myself, but I can't see the person at the other end. Also, where are answers to this forum posted? what do I do?

I'm quite new at this. I have skype for mac with video (version 2.7.0.330). My video works fine with phone calls. Will the video feature also be available with Chat messaging? I haven't had a "chat" with anyone yet, so I'm not sure what to do. THANKS.

I also have a mac and can't see the person I am skyping. Anyone have an answer, and I agree, were do i see the answers to the questions.

I cannot see the other person who can see me. I can also see myself.

I am only able to use the video not more than 1 minute, and after that the call dropped. I am using logitech USB for micropohone and headset, then I am using webcam "Logitech QuikCam", and I am using Windows Vista. What should I do so I am able to use the video without any problem.

I REALLY hope that Skype for mac will have the snapshot feature very soon.
