T THE CAMERA SHOWING ON THE REMOTE CALLER

M

AC

B

OOK

When using a computer running the Mac OS, the camera is often used by another application such 
as FaceTime or Photo Booth in the background. Only one application can use the camera at a time. 
Get the remote caller to close all applications, including Skype. Then get them to reopen Skype and 
try the call again.

KYPE 

TX

 IMMEDIATELY HANGS UP

This is most likely due to entering an incorrect Skype Name for the contact. Check the Skype Name 
of the remote caller and try to make the call again.

 NOT SEEING THE VIDEO IN PREVIEW IN 

S

KYPE 

TX? 

The local video input feed won’t show until Skype TX has been signed in. If you are seeing black, 
then the video feed could be in the wrong format or has not been turned on. Make sure the video 
input format used is on the list of accepted inputs. 

I

 CAN SEE A VIDEO OUTPUT PREVIEW BUT WHY CAN

T THE BROADCAST FACILITY SEE IT

This could be because the Video Out settings haven’t been set correctly for the broadcast. Check 
what video format is required and set it as such in Skype TX under Video Out in Video Settings. If 
the broadcast facility still can’t see the video out feed, then check that all cables are connected. If the 
problem persists, contact your hardware partner. 

R

EMOTE CALLER CAN

T HEAR STUDIO

First ask the remote caller if they have their speakers turned on. If they do, check that you can see 
outgoing audio levels bouncing next to the local video preview. If audio levels are bouncing, then 
the remote caller needs to check their Skype settings by going to: Tools, Options, Audio Settings, 
Speakers, and checking that audio output is being shown.
