Problem connecting to skype

Why can't I sign in to skype

Skype is free to call and chat with other Skype users through Skype. You need to buy Skype credits in order to call landlines or mobile phones from Skype.

You are probably experiencing another Skype outage. We are, too, this morning (6-7-2011). Click on Skype and it crashes. Reboot and it fails to connect. It's not your computer, it's Skype. I've read many other reports of the identical problem across the net.

option 1. check your firewall setting maybe it prohibits skype from accessing the internet. check if you have other firewall programs then check the settings. if it is ok try to disable your firewall.
option 2.try if you can use your internet connection without using the router then try using skype. if it works there is problem with the router settings. if not your problem with the skype try to reinstall it.

Many others are having this problem Skype is having a lot of problemshttps://twitter.com/skype says Skype is now gradually returning to normal - we expect it may take several hours for everyone to be able to sign in again, however

Fire up a browser on your phone and go to 'http://skype.com/m'. You will be prompted to download the appropriate version for your case.
Hope it works for you.

Before you can use your webcam in any chat program you have to configure it to that program

Test your webcam here to make sure it broadcasts ok - Hit 'Allow' in the top window and check your cam in the left hand panel.

Not working ? - troubleshoot your drivers and software - get your cam working before moving on

Working OK ?

CONFIGURE TO SKYPE
Connect webcam
Its good practice to disconnect and re-connect your webcam before you start (To reboot the webcam software) - if you have been using it elsewhere the SKYPE software may have difficulty in locating it, even if you exited the previous program correctly.
The reason being, the webcam software can remain hooked-up to a program and needs to be rebooted.
Mine, I just unplug it from the USB and plug it back in to reboot the software.
If yours is integral with the computer you will have to re-start the computer, use a keyboard shortcut or disable / enable the webcam from the Device Manager.

Start Skype.
On the 'Tools' menu, click 'Options'.
In the navigation pane of the Skype 'Options' window, click 'Audio Settings'
Run down the list setting your defaults
Select your webcam as the default microphone.
Make a free test call
Click 'Save'
In the navigation pane of the Skype Options window, click Video Settings.
This will launch your webcam
Adjust quality of picture in 'Settings'
Check the correct webcam is shown as default
Click Save
Test your webcam by making a Skype test call.
