    Kinect for Skype - Camera no longer working?


    Hello, I have an Xbox One X with the Kinect on the adapter. When I am in Skype, I can see my Kinect camera is working fine. However as soon as I make a call, the image (via the preview window in the corner) freezes and whoever I am calling cannot see me
    - only hear me. Since the microphone and camera are both the Kinect, it's obvious that the Kinect is indeed connecting to Skype, but the video keeps cutting out as soon as the other person answers the call. The settings all seem to be in order with regards
    to allowing Skype to access the camera, privacy, etc. so I am a loss here. I know using the Kinect is rare in itself, let alone using it for Skype, but I really hope someone can help me as this is how my son and I are able to communicate with our family on
    the east coast (we are in California).

    :)

    Where is Skype for Kinect?

    Well group video calling, is only available with Skype Premium & texts also use Skype Credits etc..

    If it is anything like Skype for HDTV, that already uses a Kinect like camera.. You also pay a Subscription fee for some features, like voice calls too..

    Olá Thierrezp,

    Acesse as configurações do kinect e veja se ele está funcionando e sendo reconhecido pelo console. Para isso siga os passos:

    Se o Kinect não estiver vendo você, verifique as configurações do Kinect:

    1. Pressione o botão Menu no controle e selecione Configurações.
    2. Selecione Kinect.

    [Translation - Hello Thierrezp, Access the kinect settings and see if it is working and being recognized by the console. To do this follow the steps: If Kinect is not seeing you, check your Kinect settings: 1.Press the Menu button on the control
    and select Settings. 2.Select Kinect.]

    1. Nessa tela, você verá o que o Kinect vê. Se você não conseguir se ver nessa exibição, acesse a seção "Ajustar o sensor Kinect" abaixo.
    2. Se o sensor Kinect estiver desconectado ou desligado, a tela do Kinect indicará o status.

    [Translation - On this screen you will see what Kinect sees. If you can not see yourself in this view, go to the "Tuning Kinect Sensor" section below.1. If the Kinect sensor is disconnected or unplugged, the Kinect screen will indicate the status.]

    [table][tr][td][​IMG][/td][/tr][/table]

    Sorry to hear it. Try powercycling the console by holding the power button on it for 10 seconds till it shuts down then unplug it and let it sit for 5 minutes

    Xbox Skype Kinect camera being used by another application

    I am having the same problem with my Kinect and Skype on the Xbox One. I haven't found any solutions anywhere, including the Xbox forum. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling Skype on the Xbox One, but that didn't work. Also tried unplugging the Kinect, making
    sure camera and microphone permissions were set appropriately for Skype. No luck.

    Microphone not working for skype-kinect-XBOneX-Stereo adaptor

    it said no updates needed- when I connected via usb.

    Now, Opened skype, made a call using kinect camera.

    camera works fine, I can hear other people via earphone connected directly to my remote. However, they cannot hear me via the earphone. If I remove the earphones, they can pickup the sound from the kinect microphone.
