How to check Skype through a call to EchoĪfter having studied all the Skype hardware settings and tested it, I will show you a very simple way to test your speakers and microphone, as well as listen to your voice recorded through your own microphone. Naturally, they will be different for different webcams, so I will not explain anything regarding this point. If you don't like something in the image, you can go to the webcam settings:Īnd here are the settings themselves. Here, in the window that opens, we can immediately select the camera that we will use for Skype and look at the image that it produces. Now, all in the same program settings from the last point, go to the "Video settings": To check the volume and clarity of the sound of the speakers, you can click on the "Play" button, which is located next to this item. Opposite the item "Speakers", you can also choose exactly which ones you will use to reproduce the conversation of your interlocutor.
You can take a closer look at this microphone volume bar in this screenshot: If you say something into it and a green bar runs next to it, this indicates that the device is in working order and everything is working correctly. For example, there may be one built-in, and the other was bought separately - stationary, especially for conversations. Pay attention to the item "Microphone", there you can choose from several devices if more than one is installed in the system. In the top menu, select the "Tools" item and select "Settings" from the drop-down menu: We will do this using the settings of the program itself. After all, the microphone and the camera may not be configured, but simply call the person so that he does not see anything and he does not really want to hear. Let's imagine the situation that you just installed skype program and want to call someone already, but you just don't know if all the equipment is working.
