In the new Skype app for Windows 10, the system of microphone and camera settings has changed somewhat, which creates difficulties for some users. This step-by-step instruction will allow even an untrained person to set up Skype.
Instructions
Step 1
Go to the app. To find the settings, press the key combination Ctrl-I or click on your account icon (shown in the figure).
Step 2
To test the video camera in Skype, find the camera section and enable the video test option.
Step 3
If an image from a video camera is displayed on the screen, then everything is configured as it should. If not, select the model of the installed webcam from the menu and check the operation with it.
Step 4
To test the operation of your speakers or headphones, click the Test Sound option. A Skype call signal should be heard from the speakers.
Step 5
You need to check the microphone in two steps. First, we check its inclusion in the settings of the Microsoft voice messenger.
Step 6
Now we return to the main window of the program and write Echo in the search bar for contacts.
Step 7
We press the blue button with the phone to check how the automatic interlocutor hears us. The robot will offer to say a short phrase no more than 10 seconds long, and then play it in the columns.
Step 8
If the microphone did not work correctly, check its settings in Windows 10. To do this, find the speaker icon in the system tray and press the right mouse button.
Step 9
We open the Recorders.
Step 10
Select the microphone with the left mouse button.
Step 11
We check the volume level.
Step 12
If the microphone is disabled as a device, it will not work.
