Details Version:. File Name:. Date Published:. Hi Administrator , i have encountered problem for windows xp Skype ver 7.
Pls help!!! It says "Sorry, we couldn't connect you to Skype". I guess I have to buy a new PC since mine can't be upgraded. RIP Skype Classic You will always receive a Skype message stating ' You will need to update your OS to Windows 7 or higher to continue using Skype on the same device. As an technical support guy, info from this site saved me from headache for years, now time for redemption: For those who still need to use winxp willingly or unwillingly, open chrome, install the chrome extention, switch user agent to edge and windows, and you will able to login web skype now.
Thank you for sharing. Another way is to change user agent via command line. Stay in touch. I plan to publish detailed instructions soon. That solution works like a charm! I'm using the agent switcher mentioned below - it allows you to change the agent only on particular domain, so I've entered web.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has disabled Skype 7 and users cannot use it anymore on any operating systems. I have a problem with the new skype for web which I have thanks to yourselves. Had to look for something new as I still use windows XP SP3 32 bit and microsoft god bless them have decided that I should not be able to use skype 7 any more.
I am signing on using my old skype ident and password. This new skype works perfectly well in audio only BUT for video whenever some one tries to call me on video and I press the video icon top right of the new skype screen and without colour they are cut off.
The same happens when I call them. I have just been through your software requirements and I think I meet them all although I am unsure about the Windows Installer 4. I am using the latest possible Chrome browser for Windows XP which is the one you specify. What am I doing wrong please?
I have since downloaded level 4. Could THAT have been the problem? I just was able to have a hour long conversation with my brother in New Zealand I am in Spain but could not get the video to work at all no matter what buttons I pressed, I could get a whole live screen of myself! Everything else seems normal skype stuff. Hello David! Video calls on Windows XP are working only for web-to-web calls.
That is, it won't work if your brother don't use Skype for Web. They really are apalling. In fact, it does not officially support Windows XP, so this does not surprise me. As I already wrote, no one can guarantee neither proper work nor long-term support. Hi, My skype is not connecting can you tell how to connect.
