We do hope that Microsoft will fix the issue with video calls on Skype for Windows soon. However, any international communication will result in video features being disabled. Luckily, a moderator on the Microsoft Community forums has responded on the matter and says that video calling within the Philippines should work normally. Why does my cam not work when chatting with friends in the Philippines?Ĭommon troubleshooting steps like clearing the app cache, and uninstalling and reinstalling the app and Windows were tried by many, but to no avail.

This is understandably a piece of bad news for those who need to communicate with Skype users from Philippines for work-related purposes. Although, one can hear each other’s voices like they normally would.Īpparently, the issue pops up as soon as one tries to video call an abroad Skype user and affects those using Windows 11 and Windows 10 machines.Īnd to rub salt in the wounds, the issue has been persistent for about a month and remains unresolved until now.

However, it appears that the update has introduced some bugs as well.Īccording to reports ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9), multiple Skype users are experiencing an issue where they are unable to properly communicate with others over video calls. The update also adds the new Bing chatbot to Skype, which helps make the conversations more interesting with quizzes and recommendations.
