global forums on the Internet, many users unflattering comments about the software products of Microsoft - the one that created the operating systems Windows, Skype and so on. Sometimes applications running on Microsoft really have any comments.However, designers strive to maximize ease of use of their programs.Make it so that they worked "out of the box": set and use, without the need to produce a variety of additional options.In most cases, it is possible, although there are exceptions.For example, setting up Skype is not only not forbidden, but even encouraged.This is what will be discussed in this article.
The program Skype, which represents a kind of version of videophone, all familiar.Some people just heard about it, and others are actively using.With an internet connection, web camera, audio system and microphone, you can fully communicate with distant interlocutors, and completely free.With each successive version of the program performance is getting better.For example, it is enough to download the distribution, install the app, log in and ... everything.
However, in the event of any disruptions may need to configure Skype.For example, webmasters using the famous SDK Denver, is well-known warning is displayed during installation, which referred to possible conflicts with Skype.Of course, in a state of neglect.Even with recommendations as to be fully tuned Skype.In the present case involved a conflict of ports, which, fortunately, is corrected a few mouse clicks.
Configuring Skype is primarily to adjust the audio and video.Since there are so many models of webcams and microphones differ in their characteristics, developers should consider the possibility of making the program by the user the necessary changes.For example, some cameras processor allows you to change the brightness, contrast, flash illumination and so on. While the default everything works, for use of special hardware features must be set up the webcam on Skype.
To do this, after the program must be in the top menu bar, select "Tools" and proceed to "Settings".Here are all separated in sections, so difficult to find the desired item does not usually arise.After clicking on the link "Video Settings" window appears where you can select video broadcast: all or only selected interlocutors, whether to include the transmission of images at every call.But the button "Web Camera" opens a window in which you can make changes to the processor unit (not available for all models).
Adjusting the sound on Skype is in the same section.The name of the item speaks for itself, so it is impossible to make a mistake.Here you can specify the desired recording device (microphone) and playback (speakers).Tick the automatic setup is recommended to leave - it allows the use of an adaptive mechanism of adjustment.
Sometimes, Skype does not work because of a conflict with other programs (about one of them we have already mentioned).This is solved in Settings "Advanced".It should click "Connections" and prescribe any other port number or tick alternative.
