Skype™
If you do not have a Skype account, first download the software and register at:
www.skype.com
Before running the Skype software, make sure that the webcam program (AMCap on Windows, WebCam Monitor
on Mac OS X) is fully closed. Failure to do so will mean that Skype may not recognise the webcam.
Windows setup:
Within the Skype application,
Select the Tools menu and go to Options. In the General tab, make sure that your settings are as follows:
Audio Settings: Select HUE HD Webcam Audio for Microphone and Windows Default Device (or your soundcard)
for Ringing and Speakers (
Fig. 4.5
);
Video Settings: Select HUE HD Webcam from the dropdown menu (
Fig. 4.5.1
).
We recommend that users also uncheck the box below the Microphone dropdown menu marked “Let Skype adjust
my audio settings” (
Fig. 4.5
). This option, when checked, can sometimes cause sound interruptions during voice
calls. Initially it is best to set the volume slider a little less than halfway along the bar, as shown. You can adjust
this later to suit your preferences.
Remember to save your changes before closing the window.
