Change video resolution on Skype - is that possible?
Skype automatically regulates the video resolution. In this practical tip, we will show you how you can change these anyway.
Skype: Change video resolution
You cannot change the video resolution in Skype itself. The program always regulates the resolution automatically depending on the connection / computing power. To change this anyway, you need a special program.
- Download and install the "Force Skype HD Video" program.
- Start the program you just downloaded.
- If the Skype program is currently running on your computer, exit it.
- Click on the "Configure" tab in "Force Skype HD Video" and adjust the resolution as required.
- Click on "Save Configuration" and switch back to the "Force HD Video" tab.
- Click on the "Enable Custom Video setting" item to activate the resolution you have just configured. You can also choose one of the templates.
- Now close "Force Skype HD Video" and start Skype. The video should now be streamed at your desired resolution.
- If your computer jerky after patching or just the video jerky, either your computer or your internet line is too weak to transfer the settings used.
