Skype/Facebook Video Calling Not Working - Windows 8 General

Unfortunately, Skype and Facebook video calling both crash right now running windows 8 (Ironic much? Microsoft owns skype) I tried running both in compatibility mode for win7, but still crashes. Any ideas?

Yahoo Messenger with Video Chat

I know there have been a few threads on video chat and I apologize for making a new one; however I thought my post may get lost if I tried to post in older threads. Below are the APKs for both yahoo messenger and the video add on. I've tested this on my 101 and it works well. I did find out that if you have not updated to the latest firmware it does not work well. Enjoy!

Video Add On

If I find that an update is needed I will add the links as needed.
Does not work for me. Neither these files nor the files from the market. Video /Audio addon crashes always on the A 70.
Are u on the new firmware?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
2.0.71 of course. Driver seemed to suck all CPU power...
Seems to work just fine, but is one heavy app. Between the chat and the plugin it is over 20mbs of space. Not sure how it affects battery life...
You can also download these from the market if you have it installed. I tested this today and it is the best so far. Fring and Tango still have a lot of bugs. The new Skype with Video is going to be Verizon only.. at least for this year. There is one more that just came out that might be better than Yahoo and that is ooVoo. It is in beta, but you can download it now from the market. I haven't tested it yet, but it sounds promising.
So if you have Archos.. best video chat so far I think is Yahoo and ooVoo.

[Q] 2.3GB Netflix out of sync.

I've been using netflix for a while now and it's worked fine.
I updated to 2.3 GB and now the audio is out of sync with the video..
Is there any cure for this?
I'm using the latest .246 build of the Netflix app.
My Netflix is fine bro.
Maybe weak connection?
Well, I'm glad to hear that it can work....do u think a wipe might fix it? I've reinstalled2 twice now...
Have you tried another show/movie?
I tried a TV series and it was out of sync (which also has a history of being out of sync sometimes on my htpc) but I just tried The Bourne Identity and the audio was synced correct.

Yes...I tried a few different shows, and I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and tried rebooting....
Which netflix app are you using?
I installed another Netflix apk; the "device check disabled" one..and the audio is in sync but it had the "green bar" at the top of the screen issue.
I'm going to try another apk and report on what I find.

The app opens up and which ever video I pick it just hangs at 97%. I tried searching to see if anybody else had the same problem havent found anything yet.

Functional Skype on Nougat Stock ROM?

Hi everyone,
Has anyone of you succeeded to get Skype properly working on Nougat, with the stock ROM?
So far I managed to install it, either via the AptoideTV application (itself downloaded via the browser in EZ file explorer) or by downloading the APK file. The version from Aptoide TV is functional but doesn't show any video call button, only voice call, in both directions (in and out calls).
It can however access a webcam to take a new picture (I've installed Open Camera for that purpose).
I'll keep you updated if I have any update on that purpose.
Go to settings > app , look for Skype app, click on it and post the whole package name.
I don't have stock Nougat but full Android and Skype work well, I also use the following app to route calls and video calls audio output to HDMI port. Is a must have:

Version 6.15.0.1162 / com.skype.raider
Similar situation with Version 7.32.99.490 / com.skype.polaris and 7.24.0.255 / com.skype.raider
This issue with Stock is probably due to the fact that it uses the Leanback verison of the App, and thus deactivite the camera-related features.

I'm also having some issues with Skype on Nougat full Android (ROM by @zulu99 on http://www.videomap.it/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=1646 ), which version of Skype are you using?

Up.
Is Skype really fully functional in your case on Full Android? If so, could you share your setup?
Thanks

I search recently for a working Video call App on my shield. After the Nougat / android 7 update, I try Skype Lite and WhatsApp.
The current beta of WhatsApp was working great. But the video crashed after a period of time.
In the Skype Lite apk, I was able to upload Feedback to Microsoft. If more people would do this ms could think about to be the first, full and stable video messenger for the living room.
Just sideload the newest apk from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/skype/...ite-1-0-0-27544-release-android-apk-download/ and tab on the Feedback area.

I don't have experience with Skype Lite, but Microsoft voluntary stopped to support Skype on (smart) TV last year.
Thus, they will not be first, they were already there, and alternatives exist.

Did you think they mean not just only smart TVs. In the last year Android TV was not really on the market. Perhaps they mean just smart TVs with own build os's like Samsung and All the other did before they use Android. Create an Android OS App is much easyer than do it for many many different os's from the different TV companys.
Can you tell me the working alternatives? I try many different Video call messengers without success.

My alternative was to move to Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM from @zulu99, check this post for more details on the comparison.
This ROM is not available on XDA anymore, but Google will help you find your way.
I'm now using a full Android Nougat ROM, from @zulu99 too, but Skype video calls aren't working (yet) and I cannot downgrade to Marshmallow. Thus, for the moment, if Skype is a must I'd recommend to use the Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM (and to check my ROMs comparison post). Also, note that Marshmallow StockRestyle ROM can only be installed on 2015 models, not on 2017 ones!
I hope that help.

Hangouts and Facebook Messenger video calls also work in Full Android Nougat but this thread is about Skype.

Did you try Skype-lite: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/skype/skype-lite/
Greetings by Idijt
Hello,
Skype-Lite wasn't working.
I moved back to Marshmallow StockRestyle, where Skype 6.15 was working, but now it's also unsupported (Skype now requires a Windows account).
Thus, my updated question: has anyone been successful with the new version of Skype release this summer (version 8.xx)?
