    Unable to make Video Call via Skype on Xbox One S


    Hello,

    I have installed a webcam on my Xbox One S and given all necessary permissions, and when I test the video I can see my preview on the TV.

    When I try making a video-call, I can see the small preview of my cam on the screen and I can see the person on the other end of the line - only, they cannot see me.

    Do I have to activate Mixer for Skype video calling to work?

    Or is this a totally unrelated aspect?

    Thanks,

    Ahmad

    :)

    Unable to make Video Call via Skype on Xbox One S

    I just wanted to share with you a small update, since it seems no moderators will bother to look at this problem.

    I was able to find a workaround, using web.skype.com - for some reason my camera works fine there and i can make video calls, where the other party can see my video - unlike via the app.

    Still unsure where the problem is, but am now quite certain it is an issue with permissions within the OS and the Skype App.

    Hoping MS Skype team will resolve this some day soon.

    Cheers,

    A7mad

    SentientSam,

    Yes it is possible to have up to 3 participants on a video call on skype for Xbox One. Here is a link to the support page with the step-by-step to start the video call for 3 people:

    Snap feature.

    Xbox One doesn't do video calls in snap mode. You can Skype voice call someone and talk to them while you game. I do that every time my friend and I play as party chat never works. Just make sure you are not in a party. Then Skype voice call them. After
    they answer, play your game and Skype will continue running, no need to even snap it.

    Skype Premium features unusable

    The Skype for Xbox One offer providers you with Skype Premium for 6 months, which includes free group video calling and 100 minutes of world calling per month (for more information, see this FAQ:

    support.skype.com/.../what-is-the-skype-for-xbox-one-offer
    ).

    Since you have an existing subscription, when you make a billable call, it will be deducted from the Xbox One offer of 100 minutes per month before eating into your other subscription.

    If you are experiencing anything that is contrary to the above, then please get back in touch to let me know exactly what the problem is and I will endeavour to help.
