Skype call quality can be affected by many factors, from microphones and speakers to the speed of your Internet connection. In almost all cases, Skype communication lends itself to improvement. It is done in several ways.
Instructions
Step 1
One of the most important factors affecting the quality of Internet telephony communication is the speed of the Internet connection. If it is insufficient to maintain communication, delays or complete "dips" of sound begin to appear during the conversation. The best way to improve communication is by subscribing to a more expensive and faster rate. However, if this is not possible, the connection can be optimized by slightly increasing its speed. To do this, during a conversation, close all programs that consume traffic in one way or another. These include torrent clients, download managers, online radios, and browsers that are viewing streaming video. Reducing the load on the channel will significantly improve the connection in Skype.
Step 2
Apart from an internet connection, Skype also requires a certain amount of computer performance. The program signals that there are problems with communication right in the conversation window using an indicator in the form of several bars. If the computer's performance starts to be insufficient, Skype notifies about it with a special message. In order to solve this problem, close programs that are not currently needed. If you are using a laptop, plugging it into the mains will help slightly increase productivity. You can radically solve the problem by buying a more powerful computer, or by upgrading the old one with more modern components.
Step 3
Also check that the headphones and microphone used for Skype communications are working properly. You can do this using them in other programs, for example, by listening to music or trying to record something in a sound recording program. If the sound quality is poor, repair or purchase a new device for playing or receiving sound.
