Skype for Mac video tip
Did you know you can move self-image around in a video call? I did. (Simply click on the self-image in a video call and drag it wherever you want to). But I never realized you can make a meeting over Skype video look like you are present if the room is of a certain size – at least to yourself ![]()

If you press F9 (or whatever button you use for Exposé) you can even drag the little window out of the container. Notably Skype sometimes crash when you do this, and the timing must be perfect.
I’ld like to be able to resize my self-image because sometimes it’s too big and I can’t see the other person, and I don’t always want to resize the window itself.

I just downloaded the new skype for mac. I have the new logiteck quickcam vision pro. I can’t get the audio to work in the test call.
Do I really have to buy a videocam? At one point my Macbook said that I could have video capability but now it doesnt seem to work? Can you get the video capability without the extra bucks?

I have a MAC and can’t see the person i am skyping? i can see myself, but I can’t see the person at the other end. Also, where are answers to this forum posted? what do I do?
I’m quite new at this. I have skype for mac with video (version 2.7.0.330). My video works fine with phone calls. Will the video feature also be available with Chat messaging? I haven’t had a “chat” with anyone yet, so I’m not sure what to do. THANKS.
I also have a mac and can’t see the person I am skyping. Anyone have an answer, and I agree, were do i see the answers to the questions.

I cannot see the other person who can see me. I can also see myself.
I am only able to use the video not more than 1 minute, and after that the call dropped. I am using logitech USB for micropohone and headset, then I am using webcam “Logitech QuikCam”, and I am using Windows Vista. What should I do so I am able to use the video without any problem.
I REALLY hope that Skype for mac will have the snapshot feature very soon.
I can’t see the person I’m video calling but they can see me and I can see me.. what am I doing wrong?
Sounds like a problem at their end – can they see themselves?
all i see are questions . . . where are the answers? “FAQ” ?
really need that video snapshot ability. No idea why the Windows version has it and the Mac version (even the beta) doesn’t.
why does skype for mac not have a snapshot feature. it’s not fair!!! would you please even the deck?
how come there is no snapshot option?! can you please make one already!
WHY is there no snapshot option while in a call on a MAC? This is ridiculous a mac is by far way more superior than any windows operating system computer and yet we cannot take a simple picture of the person we are calling while a Windows computer can? Ridiculous!
