    skype mic bug


    If you don't want people to hear you gaming, you have to that off in the kinect options screen.

    But if you do that it also makes skype no longer have audio. This seems like a bug to me, since in skype you don't really see that happening, the mic mute button still works but has no effect. It was really confusing until we realized it was the other setting
    overriding it all.

    :)

    Skype Bug: Kinect mic nonfunctional for Skype only.

    Since the update to Skype on my Preview-enrolled Xbox One, the Kinect microphone does not work with the app. I have the permissions set correctly—Skype is allowed to access my mic in the Settings page—and the Kinect mic works in all other situation, including
    game chat and voice commands.

    But now when making Skype calls only the video works. No one receives my audio, and occasionally I get an error message saying that my mic isn't working. But it is, just not for Skype, despite all the right settings as I said.

    Skype Bug: Kinect mic nonfunctional for Skype only.

    None of these things are in preview now and I'm having the exact same issue. Nothing I do can make Skype use the Kinect as a microphone. Kinect voice commands work perfectly, so there's no issue at all with the hardware. Skype just does not use it, which
    makes Skype on the Xbox entirely useless.

    Is there any solution to this?

    Mic/Skype

    Go to the Home screen, select your gamerpic at the top, press A and select "Choose this person," while visibly holding the controller in front of Kinect. That should trigger it to register you as the one talking and re-route talking through the headset rather
    than TV.

    You say they still hear you, but I suspect that's through Kinect rather than the headset's microphone.
